I just found this video on IM Eric Kislik's YouTube Channel and I think this is the best method for solving tactics that I've seen so far, do you agree?

From what I saw, it just looked to be the usual simplistic, specious stuff (as you might expect, with such a silly title).

So what method do you recommend?

You literally criticized without giving anything else better...

Really nothing new, but still a nice video.  I would say that #5 and #1 are intertwined. If there are no weaknesses around the king, you need to see if you can create any.

Good stuff Dylan, I like the systematic approach and simple logic in this

It's a little-known fact that every tactic must begin with a queen sac. This makes some positions easy to analyze, since any position that lacks a queen on the board cannot have any tactics present.

 

No need to thank me for this little pearl of wisdom...

Not every time a tactic needs a queen, you often use knights for forks, rooks for skewers or pins, Bishop for double check or threat, and well... the queen does all of the tactics. Just because you lost your queen doesn’t mean that there is no tactics

 Lol, it is easy cos those are around 1800-2000 rated tactics with 2-3 moves deep..

If there is 2600-2700 rated tactics, you have to think 5-6 moves ahead with dozens of pitfall variations.
