Why Should I Practice
Using Puzzles?

Although puzzles are not a one-stop solution to becoming a grandmaster in chess, they do train your mind to quickly and efficiently find chess tactics in game.

Puzzles, however, will not prevent you from getting yourself in a bad position in your games. If you do get into a bad position, no about of tactics knowledge will save you.

This is why we suggest training 10-15 minutes worth of puzzles a day and pair it along with other training like live games and openings practice!
