Puzzle Rush

In my experience the answer is still very simple, a hanging piece or an easy fork, even into the twenties.

There are often multiple responses to a tactic. You can give the piece/mate away, or you can make your opponent fight for it. The responses on the Puzzle Rush puzzles tend to be the simplest. The puzzle really feeds you the answer. That's fine with me, as I still can't get 30 in 5 minutes, but is very different from the computer-generated puzzles on lichess.

@iBishop the puzzles on lichess are from actual games. They are not computer generated. Also, I don't understand how puzzle rush "feeds you the answer." If you play the lower rated lichess puzzles, then you will see that they are similar to early puzzle rush puzzles: mate threats, forks, etc.

blitztactics.com/ is brilliant! The only thing it needs is a penguin streaming it to the masses.

Most chess puzzles focus on solving the tactic when it is available. My idea is that you need to learn to spot a tactic the moment it happens in a passage of play - i.e. spot blunders. If you cannot spot a blunder then 'you have been spacebared'
