How many tries do you have? Did you notice raise in your playing strength after working on CTS?

I was at 1550 until I tried that with a beer in hand and another in me belly. I'm now around 1450.

1620 after 78K tries. I've gone from learning how the pieces move to 1800 rhp & 1600 fics standard during that time. but I still suck at blitz.

One. You're rated against the clock - if you take an hour to correctly solve, your rating goes down.

It's useful because it's largely fairly simple tactics which are also either: unusual in theme, - or - in messy positions, where seeing the simple stuff is quite hard. That also means, it's not so good for thematic, stereotypical tactics.

I haven't used it in a while. It's hovering around 1500 right now.

I misread the question as meaning, 'how many tries do you have at solving each problem?'

Sorry.

631 tries, I should have said.

Just practiced for an hour during which time I made it back to 1550 before missing 5 in a row and calling it quits back at 1500. Severe tunnel vision there at the end.

I improved. But only with 3000 tries. After I beat wormwood with 100k tries I will probably get to 1450. Must go now, only 97000 problems to do.😲
