If you do not know tactics you cannot exploit all your potential on chess, so improving tactics is improving on chess. We use tactics to attack, defend or get a better position that is why it is so important on the develop of our chess.

I am not going to post the meaning of all tactics or what they do, because this club has a theme about it you can read it here: https://www.chess.com/news/view/tip-3-practice-tactics-3269

I am going to tell you what to do and how tactics trainings works, please read all the articles on this club they are good to understand vital things.

Daily Training

Tactics are part of chess and daily training is mandatory but of course, if you do not want to improve don't to them! The fact is that you need to solve tactics daily to get better and you may not see the results on the first day, but after a month of daily tactics you will see the results.

Those things must be followed:

  • Do daily tactics: They must be 20 to 30 daily or just use time, 30 minutes a day.
  • Do an analysis: Ask yourself why it worked and what is the theme.
  • Identifying the theme: Skewer for example is a theme when a theme is identified you will be able to complete it with more ease.
  • If you do not understand a theme, study it: If that is the case the theme is a great weakness, studying and practicing the selected theme will give notable results on the first days just because you are studying one theme and not various.
  • Identify your game tactics: Every game has tactics, identify them on one of your games and see where you failed or had errors and fix it, eventually you will get better.
  • Calculation: Start to get comfortable with calculation and start to see 4 moves ahead, that will give more chances to win, calculation error is another theme.
  • Search GM tactics: Grandmaster games has almost perfect tactics, when you see them you are absorbing partners like a sponge! It works, one 5 minutes video of a GM game daily is enough!.

Remember, i have done that and it helped a lot so far and it helps in higher levels, so get your daily basis and get better.
