I've seen some blogs and streamers say puzzles aren't very useful in helping you get better at Chess. They just show a small scenario and solution. Chess needs more than that. I am confused if I should just leave puzzles and want to know more opinions....

They should help because tactics are important... but I don't do puzzles either.

I find they can help with some pattern recognition but that’s about it.

Pattern recognition tbh so i think puzzles can be useful. & with spotting tactics.

Hmm. I see. But despite that, most of it is just done with checks. So I personally don't understand. Just crossed 2300 in Puzzles and still can't cross 1200 in Rapid ( half of it )

( *So I personally don't understand how they are helpful ). What I mean is that after a certain extent, they just get boring and don't really contribute to tactical analysis. Can we agree on that ?
