Recomendations for a Beginner Seeking Mastery

I am a tactical monster. Many have likened my style to that of a heavyweight boxer. I grind. I dodge. I faint. And when my opponent makes the slightest misstep, the tiniest miscalculation, they'd better watch out, because there's gonna be fireworks. And most, including myself, would agree my tactical abilities rival that of Kasparov and Tal. How did I get there? Well that's why I made this post. You see, when I was a fish like all of you, I would often look up to my superiors for advice, only to be thrown back into the water. I hope this post will help you patzers one day, however unlikely it is, reach a level of tactical mastery nearly rivaling my own. Thus, here I begin. If one desires to get good at tactics, there are 3 things they must do. They should try play for positions in which tactics frequently occur. This means playing d4 as white and similar openings as black. Secondly, one must exclusively play blitz and bullet. This is best for training pattern recognition and deep calculational abilities. Thirdly, if one is to spot a tactic, they should totally ignore it. You are playing to improve, not in search of a few rating points. Instead, keep playing, to the best of your ability. The only time you should win on my training regimen is on time. Finally, let me end with a quote by the second greatest tactician of all time, the best being me of course. "Patzer (that's you) sees check, Patzer gives check." -Bobby Fisher. What this means is if you see a check, always give check.

The pieces you drop in your games - is that a kind of a tactic even that you loose the games?

Tactics? Pretty sure you're good (1600's not bad). But you need to develop the skill to apply the tactics noledg into the game as well...

So you tactic is to "sacrifice" your pieces to loose faster ?
