Wouldn't that be about remembering specific tactics, instead of trying to find a new solution to a new problem using the patterns you know and the calculation skills you have? I would strongly recommend the latter.
Usually, in my experience, people doing tactics want to do fresh tactics to sharpen their skills, not old tactics to try their memories.
What's your point? Be direct as possible or you will end up as a salesman promoting items you don't even know and knew how it works.
That sounds like a really good idea. I would use that myself. Even better if
it were possible to categorise the tactics so you easily isolate the type of tactic
that you have not been using properly.
Kind of old topic but the suggestion is already on the radar, though no clue if it has made it to the to do list:

It could be that or it could be pattern recognition. I'm not going to say whether or not it really works but that is the suggestion of Michael De La Maza; that doing the same set (large set) of puzzles multiple times improves pattern recognition.
For the tactics trainer program, I was thinking that having the option to choose to play only tactics you've failed in the past in order to try and inprove faster and learn from your mistakes might be a good idea. Would that be possible?
