Tactics alone will bring you to rated 2000 is a myth. Sorry seven circles and woodpecker fans.
Nice.
I'm convinced now - studying too many tactics makes me worse

Just some food for thought for you players who seem to be stuck in the low 1200s but are doing a lot of tactics that doesn't seem to help your rating.
I still don't understand studying tactics because you know that there's a tactic available. In a real game you know one is always available but 90% of the time they won't work and it's getting a position where they will work that's important. Also playing bullet and blitz all the time will be very bad for your chess if you're a beginner. To benefit from them you already need to be fairly strong.
Arguing with a guy who already left chess.com is wise. You will always win the argument.
Even if he somehow comes back, he certainly won't remember what he wrote 8 years ago, so that's also good.
Good job, keep it up!
Take a single tactic, try and see the whole puzzle before you move. If you just move the piece and look for the next move, it's not really strengthening your thought process.
