When you solve positions, you know there is something to find. Big difference. I am good at tactics too, being a Cat A player, but miss things regularly in my games. the two things do not correlate. The reason we do tactical puzzles is to see more positions and to become familiar with what tactical shots might be there. We don't do them for some fake rating. | |

| Jun 21, 2016 at 16:39 | comment | added | Prakhar Londhe | @RandyMinder hmm thanks... I mean I am able to solve tactics quite easily overboard, but not so on the positional aspects of game... Still I believe there is long way to go ahead :D | |

Until you reach a rating of 1800+, positional chess matters far less than spotting tactic opportunities. | |
