    Even at ~2800 in puzzles I’m sometime faced with mates in one or mates in two that are quite easy. I feel like that score doesn’t mean anything and shouldn’t be compared to real games ELO.

        I have no idea.
        Usually, an elo system implies that two individuals are matched together and hopefully end up with a winner and a loser. They might do something similar to rate every puzzle.
        Although last month, they readjusted everyone’s elo to lower it down. I went from 2860 to 1930 from one day to an other. Doesn’t change a thing, but I guess it does feel less inflated now.
