Tactics too hard.

Yeah, i'll bet u deleted your comment, zebragang!

I was wondering why is he trying to give lessons to You.

He argues against anything and everything I ever say in the forum regardless of the topic and doesn't even state his counter arguments lol

Check my recent tactics, they are better.

You are still blitzing, Will... 😊 

.......SERIOUSLY?

I read that You spent 1 hour and solved 300+ exercises. OK, maybe You did some slowly, but it was not enough to increase Your average.
Okay, I looked at the actual times now. You slowed down a bit and You are doing better. Congrats, You are on the right track!

Thanks!

Check my last 5! I made sure each move was the best!

 Congratulations Will! Keep up the good work!

Thanks! I'll try!

It was up 49 in past 7 days but now it is up 9.

AND I THOUGHT ON THOSE TACTICS!

Do not expect to solve them all. Improvement takes time.

Let me tell You something from my own experience. I was 16 or 17 I guess. I was on a Summer holiday. I was sunbathing throughout the Summer on a blanket with the pieces and 2 or 3 chessbooks in front of me. I tried to study hard.
The Summer was over -- school started and competitions. And I was the same patzer as before; no change whatsoever. I was frustrated. Six months passed by, almost a year. And I started crushing the opponents against whom I had no chance whatsoever before. I jumped a whole level/class/category and started to become a decent player.
It was not enough to acquire new knowledge. Time was required for that knowledge to settle and sediment. When I started thoroughly understanding and applying what I have learned earlier, I started playing much better.

Okay, but it's not like a year from now I'll be crushing people...

 Will, when I was 10, I was crushing 14-16 year old boys playing chess around the housing project. Then, a girl came to our flat to play me: 0-3. I barely had a chance. At Your age, I asked my Dad to take me to the local club. I was playing alongside that girl for a while. Years passed by and we met at an OTB tournament: she was already a WFM and we drew. I wasn't a patzer any more! By no means! Take Your time!

Alright...

 No it was 2236

And that girl was Judit Polgar

Nah but in all seriousness, I feel the same way, sometimes I have good days with tactics and other times I can drop like 100+ Elo points in an hour, if I get 10 wrong in a row or so. My average is about 110/hour, so around 50 seconds per move/puzzle. I think that's about average. But right now my rating is around 900 (at a low, it was around 1100 for awhile), with a peak of around 1280. By comparison, my Rapid rating is around 1050 and Daily at 1130. I guess the point is to keep trying, one reason I got Premium is for tactics, though I haven't done any in awhile, I've done about 2,000 puzzles since joining around 6 weeks ago. If it's something I recognise, I might get it in like 10 seconds (mate in 1, or smothered mate etc), other times I'll fail miserably. 

Interestingly, unlike Blitz/Bullet/Daily/Rapid ratings, where the "fluctuations" in rating settle as you play more games, this doesn't seem to apply with Tactics. I can still drop 12 points on one puzzle even after 2,000 puzzles have been attempted.

Also, can someone explain how I see people at the top of the leaderboard with like 3300 Tactics rating? That's like Stockfish level!
