if you can stop/slow this when it happens and either rebound with good technique and thinking then well done
otherwise call it a day and try more tomorrow
later you can scroll through the ones you did and replay the puzzles and make sure you see it
then return to puzzles
one good thing about chess.coms tactics is that puzzles are all over the place that the “rating” essentially becomes meaningless; my daughter has a 500 rating and some of those puzzles are bizarre; i get some 2000+ tactics that my same daughter can do when i show them to her so the rating is meaningless- so no ego- then each puzzle becomes its own miniature;
and now with puzzle rush you can practice quick pattern recognition there and spend time on tactics trainer really solving for accuracy
personally, i usually practice tactics a few at a time and then quit; other times i’ll play maybe 12 (usually i make two miss two and just kind of go even steven for a bit)
another thing i do when i have a bad tactics trainer session is go to one of my online tactics books to practice; training specifically selected puzzles to really hammer patterns
Do you happen to go on a bad series of tactics? I’m a beginner and started practicing elsewhere a few days ago. I managed to get to 1900 points (on tactics) right away, but now I’m struggling to keep 1700... seems like my brain short circuits after a few problems. Have you ever experienced something like this? How did you get through it? Thanks, Davide
