    How is puzzle elo calculated? Guess stockfish just shits on the board and rolls some dice?

      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.
