I'm currently a Class B with a TT rating of 2100. I would like to aim to become a 2100 with norm of Candidate Master. What tactic rating does a CM usually have? How strong are Expert class chess players in tactical calculation?

With tactical ability of your caliber I think you should focus on other things– Jimmy360Commented Jul 15, 2016 at 10:05

1@Jimmy360 What would you recommend that user122965 focus on? (I ask because I'm not a good enough player to suggest anything, but figure that (s)he and/or others might benefit from explicit thoughts on the matter.)– Charles RockafellorCommented Jul 15, 2016 at 18:09

I hardly see masters on SE. Might get a good answer from /r/chess.– KeshavCommented Jul 16, 2016 at 6:39

I'm 1900 TT on chess.com and my OTB is 1920. So it's surprising your tactics are that good and you aren't higher rated. I agree with others. Work on other things.– user3431Commented Jul 21, 2016 at 3:04

While you cannot get to Candidate Master on tactics alone, most Candidate Masters have much higher tactics trainers ratings than you do. For example, Candidate Master Mago has a TT rating of 2602. While you should continue on your TT journey, you should also study master games, endgames, and positional play.
