Tried it out, amazing! I would say... BETTER then chess.com!
Please add a difficulty option :
1) easy : first puzzle start around 1000 (like now)
2) medium : first puzzle start around 1300
3) hard : first puzzle start around 1600

Poggers!
I think this is a great feature, but the aesthetic doesn't seem to fit with the the site as a whole. Needs a bit of redesign to make it feel like a part of the site
will there be something where you can fight tactics against others?
That's fun Lichess :-) My max is 34, guess I suck at fast chess :-)
Feature request: an option to turn of the jingle at the end of the round. It can get annoying, but I still want sounds on during the game.
This is awesome! Been waiting for this for a long time.
THANKS YOU SO MUCH @nojoke
I think the one-size-fits-all timed puzzle mechanic could be tweaked. People have varying levels of skill and different things the wish to get out of such a system so I have some suggestions that might make the feature more multi-purpose:
1. Allow the user to, within reason, to freely change how fast the puzzles go up in rating and what is the starting rating for the storm. If you wish to add leaderboard(s) in the future you could always only allow scores from a certain category/categories (like the version we currently have) and keep the modified versions unrated. If you are worrying about the score we currently have on profile, it could be made so that only one certain rule set allows you to submit scores to this, like the default option (or this could be removed from profiles). There might be people who want to practice 2000+ puzzles exclusively as a timed format and not to do <2000 rated puzzles 70 times or people who want it to go up fast in rating like in some other websites.
2. Make different starting levels (or allow people to chose the starting level), as has been proposed here by other people. You could have only one of these to show up on the profile if such a thing is a concern and if leaderboards is added you can make them have different leaderboards or have only one ranked mode.
3. Make different speeds at which the puzzles get harder (or allow people to chose the speed themselves).
Basicallly Number 1 is No2+No3 with the most customization.
