Puzzle Rush Tool

This feature is first way we worked to study the puzzle rush mistakes.  We extracted the failed puzzle URL's from chess.com and used this tool to open them in the web browser.

Steps

1. Copy URL's from chess.com using the tool here

2. Paste the URL's into the Puzzle URL List box

3. Click WEB - LOad URL's with browser.  Your default web browser will load the URL's in separate tabs

This is the feature we use the most with this tool.  You paste in a list of URL's to study and the tool will load each puzzle one at a time and in separate window that is an integrated browser.  The tool will automatically click the green play puzzle button and auto detect if the puzzle is a pass or fail.  On fail, the puzzle will be added to the end of the study list so it can be retried later.  Once all puzzles are complete, you can click Export Study Results to get a comma separated list of puzzles with the number of attempts.  The CSV can be pasted directly into the Puzzle URL List window if you want to retry specific puzzles.

Steps

1. Copy URL's from chess.com using the tool here

2. Paste the URL's into the Puzzle URL List box

3. Click STUDY - Load URL's to Study List

Here is where it gets complicated.

4. Click START Study

The first time clicking study it will load the puzzle but you will not be logged into chess.com.  You need to click the login button and logon using your own credentials - otherwise you will be prompted to login when clicking Solve It

5. Once logged in, click Pass or Fail to so it loads the next puzzle.

6. Next, adjust the browser window so the green play button is visible, then click Set Play Puzzle Box.  Now, use the mouse to draw a box on top of the green play button, and then click Set Play Puzzle Box again.  This is defining the area inside the browser window for the mouse to click to automatically start the puzzle.  If you can still see the red box, you need to click the Set Play Puzzle Box button again.

7. Next, click Set Pass Fail Box.  Now, use the mouse to draw a box on top of the area that shows which turn it is to move, and then click Set Pass Fail Box again.  This is defining the area in the browser window to monitor to see if the puzzle is pass or fail.  If you can still see the red box, you need to click the Set Pass Fail Box button again.

8. Now, mark the check boxes for Auto Click Play, Auto Next Pass, and Auto Next Fail.  As the names suggest, this will enable the features to automatically click the play puzzle button, detect when a puzzle is passed, and detect when the puzzle is failed.

9. When your studying is complete, click the Export Study Results button to copy the results to the clipboard.  It will have a CSV with the puzzles and number of attempts.  As mentioned above, if you want to retry specific puzzles, you can paste the CSV directly into the Puzzle URL List box and it will extract the puzzles from the CSV.  The CSV is sorted by number of attempts descending.

10. Puzzle Rush is time based, so this tool has a feature to auto fail puzzles after a specific number of seconds.  To set the time limit, edit the Seconds to Solve box.
