NM TheChessNetwork and CM Kingscrusher solve puzzles in their feed. It was interesting that some puzzles they solved happened to be the same. Jerry spent half an hour solving one which took Kingscrusher ten seconds. Kingscrusher is suprisingly good at it, he does it in bullet style.
I really wonder how GM chessbrahs would do. Is he as much better in puzzles as he is in bullet.
CN takes his time because he lets his stream figure it out, or if it's a youtube video he goes over many different lines.
Also Fin's recently did a tactics video for anyone that's interested.
There chesscom tactic stats too;

#1 Thanks casualr - I am currently 217 Rapid ECF which is about 2396 FIDE equivalent so I hope I am okay at puzzles - doing them quickly!
Cheers, K
It happened.
Solving puzzles is a different ball game...
