Disclaimers, Abbreviations and Updates to the lists with player statistics published by deityrox.

This post contains disclaimers for my blogs and lists of players and their statistics that I post on this forum.

Disclaimer #1
These statistics began to be recorded from September 2022, in rare cases it might be outdated. It was collected manually, randomly, so the outstanding results of other players might not get into it.

Disclaimer #2
These statistics are intended to raise interest in solving puzzles by new players on the site. The publication of the article is in no way connected with the Lichess team, this is my personal initiative. Colors and symbols from the Lichess website were used in the design of the image for the article. Not sure if this is acceptable or appropriate.

Disclaimer #3
Ratings and records are for a specific date. On some profiles, the puzzle solving rating could fluctuate in the hundreds of rating points.
Since I publish puzzle solving ratings and streak records manually for each profile, I leave it up to me to update them. At your request, I can definitely update only the data of your puzzle streak records.

Disclaimer #4
This list is a rather narrow selection. This is especially true for players with a streak of less than 90. I think there are fifty players on the site with a streak in the range of 80-89, but 20 made it into this list. There are a lot of Russian-speaking streamers, Russian-speaking female masters and generally titled players on the list. That is why it starts with a rather low streak of 45. At some point, I began to look for profiles with a large number of solved puzzles, profiles of Lichess patrons, as well as players from clubs I was interested in, and the list began to grow with their records. I should probably apologize for the fact that someone's records will not be included in this list. It seems to me that it will be even better if there are players who will make their list with the players they choose according to their own criteria.

Disclaimer #5
Sometimes players solve regular puzzles without regard to rating, in which case their number is not displayed in the general statistics on their page. Perhaps one of them will be on this list with the postscript "Solved 0 (rated) puzzles". This parameter of activity on the site seemed significant to me when demonstrating the record of the streak, so I did not remove these zeros. To demonstrate the achievements of players in other areas of activity on the site, I will also indicate the number of tournament points earned by the player. First of all, for those who scored 90 in puzzle streak, as well as for lichess patrons, and players with a large number of solved puzzles or puzzle streak attempts.

Disclaimer #6
Update 10. In the example with the choice of who to place in 5th-6th place (CM PokochajSzachy vs NM Kanthecarowin), I was primarily guided by this rule of title order (is no longer valid, see below and in update 10): (GM->IM->FM->CM->NM->LM). Other rules are listed in clause 9.2 of the updates at the end of this article.

Disclaimer #7
It should be remembered that streamers could solve puzzles together with the stream's chat, receiving puzzle solutions from viewers. Or the solution could be a collaborative effort over several days with some friends in voicechat (although I do not welcome this). Your best streak cannot be reset if you think it was wrong, so I recommend that you clarify in your profile how the incredibly high streak was obtained.

Disclaimer #8
In Update 11, the relative position of record holders in the list will be changed. I made the decision to merge the general and women's divisions on the basis of "what elo is required to get the title." Why? Since some female players indicate their title in the general division, and not in the women's one (for example, when they receive IM after WGM, i.e. this is their new achievement). And also because the FIDE title system is strongly tied to the overall rating, so it is already balanced in itself. As a personal initiative, I will place women's titles above the general titles with an equal elo rating, in such cases: WGM over FM, WIM over CM. See below the list for more details in Update 10.

Some of the profiles move between the lists (continuation and termination of subscription, receiving a title) and within the list (new profiles are found, new records are set). Images with graphical representation of lists may be updated infrequently. The first to lose relevance in them is the position in the list and the number of cups, but other values either change very rarely (Fide titles, streak value), or insignificantly (statistics by variants, tournament points).
This publication will give explanations for the abbreviations, parameters found in the lists with player statistics published by me on this forum.

"Lichess former patron" = Lichess subscription was not renewed
(w/o title) = А player without a title on the site.
"Tourn.pnts" = number of tournament points earned by the player.
"Dlc" = The date of the last check of the record.
"Psr" = Puzzle Solving Rating.
"(tXX)" = The date of the last check of the Total puzzles solved.
"(sXX)" = The date of the last check of the streak value in Puzzle Streak.
"(rXX)" = The date of the last check of the tournament points earned by the player.
"(vXX)" = The date of the last check of the Total games in variants played.
"(PXX)" = The date of the last check of Lichess Patronship.
"(TXX)" = The date of the last check if this player is In top 10/50/100 in any categories.

Trophy cups and being in the Top.
(stnTXX) = Standard **Top1 - cups, Top10 - cups, Top50 - cups, Top100 - cups** (The player has trophy cups in different categories in Standard Top1-Top100)
(varTXX) = Variants **Top1 - cups, Top10 - cups, Top50 - cups, Top100 - cups** (The player has trophy cups in different categories in Variants Top1-Top100)
(stn_tXX) = (Number of times in the top in standard games categories in Top250-Top2500) (var_tXX) = (Number of times in the top in variant games categories in Top250-Top2500)
(s1kf10) = StndFocusonTop1000 points (Points for being in Top in Standard Chess)
(v1kf10) = VarFocusonTop1000 points (Points for being in Top in Variants Chess)
(t1kf10) = TotalFocusonTop1000 points (Total Points for being in Top)

XX means time period.
(t01-2)/(s01-2) = Dlc - early April 2023.
(t04)/(s04) = Dlc - late April 2023.
(t05)/(s05) = Dlc - early May 2023.
(t06-7)/(s06-7) = Dlc - late May 2023.
(t08)/(s08)/(r08)/(v08)/(P08) = Dlc - early June 2023.
(t09)/(s09)/(r09)/(v09)/(P09)/(T09) = Dlc - middle June 2023.
(t10)/(s10)/(r10)/(v10)/(P10)/(T10) = Dlc - late June 2023.

Useful information.

Categories of players in the list in case streaks are even:

1. The first to go are open division and women division titled players in this order
GM->IM->WGM->FM->WIM->CM->WFM->WCM->(NM)->(LM). As a personal initiative, I will place women's titles above the general titles with an equal elo rating, in such cases: WGM over FM, WIM over CM.
2. Then the one who has played the most games in variants of chess.
3. Then the one with the most points in Lichess tournaments.

FIDE rating required:

Grandmaster (GM) 2500+
International Master (IM) 2400+
Woman Grandmaster (WGM) 2300+
FIDE Master (FM) 2300+
Woman International Master (WIM) 2200+
Candidate Master (CM) 2200+
Woman FIDE Master (WFM) 2100+
Woman Candidate Master (WCM) 2000+
National Master (NM) (FIDE rating within 1850-2150 mostly)

Matching the streak to the puzzle rating:
Average rating of puzzles according to the number of streaks:
streak range = average rating of puzzles in it.
In parentheses are the extreme values of the strength of the puzzles in the indicated range of the streak.
7-10 = 1300 (1250-1371)
12-17 = 1450 (1329-1601)
18-21 = 1540 (1488-1716)
23-25 = 1630 (1510-1867)
26-28 = 1720 (1590-1809)
29-32 = 1740 ((1452?)1603-1886)
33 = 1860 (1742-1931)
34-41 = 1900 (1841-2107)
42-45 = 2000-2040 (1880-2041)
46-49 = (2023-2055)
50 = 2065
54-56 = 2080-2100
60 = 2130
65 = 2150
70-71 = 2200
74-75 = 2230
80 = 2275
101-106 = (2446-2476)
115-120 = (2509-2605)
This post will collect most recent updates and changes that have been and will be applied in the future to my blogs and lists of players with their statistics published by me on this forum.

Update 12: 1st half of June 2023. This blog divided into 3 blogs.

Update 13: FocusonTop1000
I'm adding new stats to player stats on my blogs. These will be players hitting the tops in 6 types of time control and 8 chess variants. Of these, trophy cups are separately indicated - rewards for getting into the top 1, 10, 50, 100 in any category. Top250, top500, top7500 and so on will be added to these cups. Each next top does not summarize the previous ones, but is considered separately. As far as I know, if a player is inactive for probably a week in any category of chess, his rank in that category will no longer be displayed (weeks are mentioned here for example lichess.org/stat/rating/distribution/threeCheck . I intend to encourage players to get involved in the variants of chess and increase activity in them. For this, I also introduce the FocusonTop1000 scoring system. Points are calculated as follows:

Shield Holder - 1000 points
(Variants tournament) Revolution Winner - 1000 points
(Variants) Champion of the year - 1000 points
Top1 - 3500 points, Top10 - 3500 points, Top50 - 3300 points, Top100 - 3000 points.
+top250 - 2700 points, +top500 - 2300 points, +top750 - 1900 points, +top1000 - 1500 points,
+top1250 - 1000 points, +top1500 - 700 points, +top1750 - 400 points, +top2000 - 200 points, +top2250 - 100 points, +top2500 - 50 points.

This system rewards the most for players who play actively and regularly (at least 2 games per week, to show the rating) and in all variants (and time controls), but have not yet risen above the top 1000 in each of them. It is much easier to get to the top 1000 in variations of chess than in the popular types of orthodox chess time control, so this system encourages playing in variations.

Explanation about counting.
I now find that entering the annual championship tournaments and defending the Shield is not as time consuming for a player as keeping their rank visible. They are one-time, that is, having received the Shield, you may not want to play until the next defense of the Shield. And this does not contribute to the activity in daily tournaments on the site. Therefore, the cost of Shields in points is low.

Also, top1 and top10 are equalized in points, since there is a very high probability of a chance. Top1 will get their cup anyway, they will have something to be proud of. My system encourages the actions of a large audience, not strong but rare players.
The score multiplier for different tops changes like this:
From Top2500 to Top2250, then to Top2000, then to Top1750 increase in points = x2.
From Top1750 to Top1500 increase in points = x1.75.
From Top1500 to Top1250 increase in points = x1.42.
From Top1250 to Top1000 increase in points = x1.5.
From Top1000 to Top750 increase in points = x1.26.
From Top750 to Top500 increase in points = x1.21.
From Top500 to Top250 increase in points = x1.17.
From Top250 to Top100 increase in points = x1.11.
From Top100 to Top50 increase in points = x1.10.
From Top50 to Top10 increase in points = x1.06.
Thus, a Player with two Top1000 cups taken will receive the same points as a player with one Top100 cups taken.

Updates for explanations for the abbreviations.
(t10)/(s10)/(r10)/(v10)/(P10)/(T10) = Dlc - late June 2023.
(t11)/(s11)/(r11)/(v11)/(P11)/(T11) = 01-10 July 2023.
(t12)/(s12)/... = 11-20 July 2023.
(t13)/(s13)/... = 21-31 July 2023.
(t14)/(s14)/... = 01-10 August 2023. And so on.
The number indicates the date of the last check of the record. The letter indicates abbreviation.
