Why do I not get any tactics in my chess games ?

I know this is not directed at me but I am happy to think I inspired it! ;)

I think I play slowly, but otherwise, really relatable points! I agree with all of them! :D

Thanks. Yes, you did inspire this blog post :)

I did see this question several times in the last few years, and perhaps it is good that chess players together find a good answer, and a solution how to improve this for those that asked.

Yeah. This is why forum-keepers like you are so helpful! :D

Thanks for the compliment, I'll take it. Appreciated :)
Yes, I do agree. IMHO, playing safe really has a strong correlation with not getting tactics in general.
I think you should never be scared to make the dubious sacrifice, because you never know if it works out. Even though stockfish usually finds a magical refutation; that doesn't mean it's not a horrible idea. I love when a sacrifice I thought was unsound turned out to be one of the engine moves! (extremely rare)
