Rahimk seems to emit the most truth.

Slow tactics!

Originally posted by RahimKAgh, you're stubborn - clearly the best way is to do BOTH fast and slow tactics. About 5 slow a day, and a bunch of fast tactics. After doing about 60 fast tactics today I feel like I have better tactical vision in my PC games, which will hopefully stop my horrible rating drop on RHP.
This is the way I think of it. If you prefer fast tactics then fine.
But in OTB, I get 2 hours for the game. CC as much as I want.
My average game lasts around 25 moves. Say 5 are opening moves, several forced moves-recaptures, Several ending moves-trading down pieces.
So maybe in the whole game, there would be only several times where you require a ...[text shortened]... ng fast tactics.
5 minutes x 25 moves = 125 minutes appox 2 hours.
Slow tactics I say.

Originally posted by cmsMasteryou can't click it before it's your turn.
Stupid CTS, has anyone else had it happen where you try to click a piece - because you KNOW the answer, but it refuses to highlight? Happened to me about 3 times in a row today before I stopped. Really made me mad.
