This is how a 1300 Chess ELO solves puzzles

I've been wanting to do an episode like this with @samostically or @stayoutoftherz, but we haven't been able to coordinate this yet.

Even so, I usually post chess videos where I explain my thought process and logic - without any censorship - while I play against other players. It's been only one time when I actually solved puzzles live and uploaded that video.

Back then I had a 1000 rapid rating. Fast forward a few months later and I that rating is 1300. For every chess player out there, there is a higher puzzle level than an actual rapid level, some people even have their puzzle level several times higher than their rapid level. I only have a twice as high puzzle level compared to my rapid rating.

But hey, I finally reached 1300 on rapid, which translates to 1500 on Lichess. My New year's proposition was to go from 700 ELO to 1500 in rapid on chess.com, so I still haven't reached that goal, but I'm slowly getting there, especially since this is my highest rating ever. I will probably lose it as fast as I got it, or maybe not, who knows

Either way, let me show you how I solve puzzles at this rapid level:
