Training - Openings

Please, make it the Rating score divided right. Its not fair to lose 150 score if you only do one move wrong.

Is it only me that sense this?
That's only for the first few openings you do. (I see you've only done 4)

It's just how the Glicko-2 system (and the Elo system) work. You gain or lose a LOT of points in the first 10 or 20 games/puzzles or so, but it balances out more and more. In the end a tough puzzle will net you some 16-17 points and one at your level around 8-9 or so.

After 100 opening puzzles, believe me, it will be an accurate representation of your play. Just keep in mind that opening puzzles are still being refined and some may be inappropriately difficult or mimic engine-like play. This is being worked on.
Yes, some of the answers are not quite right . But lal12 once you have done many of them still you lose more than you gain. :(
I have had a go at a good number of these opening puzzles. While I commend the feature, I do feel the need to point out that, even after 200-ish puzzles, I still gain about 10 points for getting one right, but often lose closer to 20 points for going wrong with even one move.

This becomes particularly frustrating when the last move of the puzzle is a little obscure or perhaps just not a move that leads to a position I'm comfortable with, but I admit that an even more frustrating scenario would be if getting one move wrong meant that I failed the entire puzzle and didn't get to input any more possibilities.

I'm sure this is already being looked at and improved upon (and it's not a trivial problem to solve), but this seemed the right place to say my piece, so I took my chance.
