Chess Puzzles- Do They Really Help?

PuzzleChess
Before we start, before you read this blog, I encourage you to complete one puzzle, then come back to this blog.

THIS IS INTENDED FOR LOWER ELO PLAYERS. HIGHER ELOs WELCOME!!!!!!!

Puzzles are very fun chess past-times. When your not in the heat of a fast paced UltraBullet game, or maybe a relaxed correspondence game with a friend, I encourage you to do chess puzzles.

But Why?!

Chess puzzles strengthen your mind and knowledge on chess. Whether it helps you put the Fork, Skewer, or any other techniques in play, or check-mating the opposition when you are down many pieces. Not joking, ever since completing 282 Tactical Puzzles in a single day, I feel my chess game has been turned around in a positive direction.

I reccomend you do 5 puzzles a day, more if you can.
