Struggling with quiet moves
Sort:
Oh yeah thanks I'll edit
Sorry this is a really nerdy post
it’s not that nerdy.
(no, I don’t know any books because I don’t use them)
But I wanna train this specifically 
I can practice quiet move puzzles on chesstempo but it's always the first move that's a quiet move. I want one where it's a quiet move deep into the line

yeah lichess has way better puzzles than chess.com, and is just the better site in general (yes I am kinda biased) but one thing most people can agree on is that lichess has better and more personalized puzzles.
So in this puzzle I saw Nxf3 Qx Qd4 Bb2 Bb4 Kd2 and thought white could just play Qe3 next move and then later a3 to kick my bishop away so I thought that had to be wrong
Instead I thought Nxf3 Qx Qd4 Bb2 Ba3 would work but missed 0-0-0
I got the puzzle right because it played Bd2 instead of Bb2 but when I checked the engine line after Bb2 it said Bb4 was winning because of Nf6
In a real game my opponent wouldn't play Bd2 like a moron so I would've blundered. Does anyone know any books or resources that focus specifically on quiet moves deep into calculation? I really struggle with it and am always blundering because of it. Nf6 didn't even cross my mind
