It’s interesting, but not quite the same because the other person has no idea they were beaten (or they won). You’re competing against them but they aren’t competing with you. I wouldn’t feel it that different to competing against myself.
But, some kind of competitive tactic training site/community/system which is more focused on actual serious training than something like Puzzle Battle would be wonderful! The chessable classrooms where the host can set up quizzes, etc. are quite cool, I remember winning a free chessable course of my choice from one of those. But that wouldn’t be convenient as your main tactics training.
Yeah, this is true. The "opponent" has no clue they were even in the "competition" to begin with. I think the most ideal version of competitive puzzle solving is having a training partner and doing it with them live in the moment. You put a position on a shared board and both try to solve without chatting with each other. While this is totally doable, it's not always easy to arrange. A competitive tactic training site/community/system (that doesn't rely on puzzle rush) would be interesting for sure.
