Is 2100 a good puzzle rating?
2100 puzzles are hard, and often not intuitive. I think anything that qualifies as "really long puzzle" or "mate in 5 or more"... wait is that still a puzzle or do you just want me to play a whole game against computer moves? And you get into quite a lot of those in puzzles rated over ~2000.
