yes tactics trainer is working on your pattern recognition in your subconsciousness
Doing as many as you can will benefit you. I am 1600-1900 right now in that range in TT.
and I am starting to see pattern in under 5 seconds and I am starting to look for candidate moves and start to calculate before moving and still solve some really fast.
I have been doing 25 puzzles each day for a while and improved 400 points. But would it be usefull to do even more?
