Add Lichess Puzzles that have no definite tactic to train for tactic recognition

The one fatal flaw about training with Lichess puzzles - and in general - is that you know that there exists a move that is advantageous toward you, and you have to just find it.

However, in real games, tactics like these aren't always present. In order to better train the eye, Lichess should offer puzzles that have actual tactics, such as those now, and positions that have no tactic. Users can indicate with a button perhaps if they feel a puzzle is one that falls in the "no tactic" category and earn rating there.

This would allow users to better recognize actual tactics in game,.
Or you know, you could just play games, and find the tactics yourself.
what you described can be achieved just by playing chess and you can see which tactics you missed later

That is a super nice training utility! Thanks for the link. Is that your work? One funny little thought that occurred to me though, because of the second word in the name "Blunder-______-o-tron" I would never link that myself because I don't want to get onto the government's lists. And this site really deserves to be linked!
