How important are Puzzles?

Since I started using Chess.com regulary I somehow developed a habit to start up the App and then get stuck doing Puzzles instead of playing.

Du those Puzzles actually help me to win games? I certainly learned to look at the board differently but I'm not sure, if I should shift my attention towards playing and analyzing more Games.

Puzzles on chess.com are one of the ways to train tactics online. Training tactics is one of the aspects you should train if you wish to improve. But you should be playing games and analyzing them as well. That is for sure. happy.png
