Will practising mates in two and three help me improve my playing strength?

As the title states; will doing a lot of mates in two and mates in three improve my playing strength? I know I should practice all tactics, but is it OK to do only mates for a while? What exactly does it help with? I'm asking because I rather enjoy doing mates in two and three, and if it is beneficial to my progress, I'd like to keep doing them exclusively for a while, until they are easy for me. (Mates in three are presently very hard for me.)

You have to practise everything. #2 and #3 are small stones in a giant mosaique.

could be a good idea to fucus on 1 thing specially if it's 1 of your weaknesss

don't neglect the stuff you are good at for too long though

i did them all a while ago checkmate, remove defender ,pins forks discoveries along with the opening priciples and piece devellopment without playing for a few days i played a few games after that and i saw it all coming together. even at my no big deal 1600 level

that's faster and more fun (to me atleast)

but right now i'm allso doing checkmate only

Probably, among other things.

I think benefits of this will only be seen in blitz or bullet.
For longer time controlls, I don't see it being useful. Unless you are new to the game of course.

Might help with the captchas

Yes. Just to the big Laszlo Polgar book from cover to cover, you'll improve significantly. youtu.be/f9N8dknf7AA

Seems like Polgar's books are out of print :/
