That was funny Deepgreene. The good/bad thing is that you have UNLIMITED access to TT, so your torture will never end. Laughing

I've been playing with the tactics trainer for just a touch over 1 year.  I'm currently at 30.46% complete (7,974 problems).  My all-time high is 2094 and am currently sitting at 2022.  One thing I've noticed is that my rating volatility has significantly shrunk.  Over the span of the past 1-2 months, my rating seems to bottom out in the low 1800s or so before slowly climbing back up.  I credit this decrease in volatility to reaching a new level of tactical understanding.  Earlier on I'd say my volatility delta was closer to 500 point swings.

I sincerely believe that if you just drown yourself in these, you will truly grow and change mentally.  According to my records, I've spent 81.3 hours on tactics problems - so that equates to 81.3/8760 hours over the last year (roughly 1% of my life).  For spending such a small portion, I'd say the payoff has been truly remarkable.  I'd love to hear from other members who have shared similar experiences.  Here's my tactics rating chart for the past 1 year timeframe:
