hi everyone, Can anyone please suggest me tips or books for improving my tactics ? My rating is 2244 in chess.com tactics trainer. It has become stagnant from some 6 months. I really need to improve. Any suggestions ? ( answers from higher rated and titled players are appreciated )

Thank you.

This is good advice.  By the way sne, you have a good tactical rating for your rating.  I think you should focus less on tactics now and dip into strategic thinking if you want to improve.  It seems that is the only thing holding your ratings back.

You have a picture of Magnus Carlsen. Magnus says he works tactics 4 hours a day. But working on tactics doesn't mean you're not going to hang a piece in a blitz game. That's more a matter of paying attention based on the time you have.
