@karlgoethebier exactly. Some puzzles take a half hour to solve. A couple studies I have I spent over an hour on and did not solve.
You should really not care about improbing your rating 50 points online thats is so insignificant it is basicly a non existant diffirence. 1 year ago in may I was going to play in a national championship. for that I took 6 2 hour session with a 2300+ master and we went into depth into the middlegame and i was giving a few papers of tactics to do as homework, I didn't do all that great in the tournament I won my first game and then went on losing streak to then come back with 3/3 in the last rounds with 4/9 it wasn't all that great.
I gained 10 rating point, but the tournaments after that where amazing I finnally started winning games in the chess league and after that my playing strenght went from 1300 to about 1750 in a matter of months. I dont think tactics are all that importaint in chess as my teacher said with wise words "If you put your pieces on good squares the tactics will follow " stop blundering your pieces and your opponents will do it for you at your level
I would highly suggest playing blindfold chess and solving problems blindfolded so you are better at visualsation and improve calculation chess is about 2 things: calculation and positionial placement

1. I don't have anybody at my level to play on the board.
2. I don't have a coach whose rating is 2000+.
3. I don't yet have the time to play in tournaments.
4. I don't yet have the time to go in a club.
Online is all I have. Please consider my options. This 50 points is nothing for you but for me it's a whole other level. I mean 50 points and never going back. I hope you understand. You're a lucky guy. Don't make the mistake to throw the opportunity away. Guys like me are just there in the dust without much opportunity. This tactics training that I mentioned is all I can do with the time I have. How to play blindfold when there is nobody to play with. :(

Solving 150 random tactics might not be the best way to improve. But I like your experience. Keep us updated!
My suggestion is to find an online sparring buddy on here. Someone that is rated around your level or slightly higher. Play two slow games of 30/0 once a week with black and white. And keep doing those tactics! I'm sure your bound to improve. :)
Thank you guys for the encouragement. The training is getting easier(as expected). :D I'm solving the problems in less than 10 seconds (from the 12 seconds). MY goal is less than 5 seconds until I move on to the harder tactics set.
Let's go!
@lovlas How about saturday? Thank you very much for the offer. How do we play?
