Comparing chess-platforms

<Comment deleted by user>
A few tactics on lichess regularly is decent. Playing OTB ( > 30+30) will help you in applying the tactics and mating patterns you’ve learnt. Repeat.

I don't know if this falls in the same category or not, but for tactical puzzles I think a good book can be much better than any website. Books generally have a good representation of different themes and problems and if you choose a classic puzzles book it means it has been tested and approved by hundreds, if not thousands, of players.

I have just started Laszlo Polgar's 5334 problems, combinations, and games. While a lot of the problems seem like you will never get it in a game, but to solve it in the best manner exercises your visualization beyond measure. As a somewhat decent player, I thought I was too good for mate in 2, which form the majority of problems in the book. I was proven wrong!!! To my knowledge this is the only book with mate in 2, 3 (even 1) that Masters study to become Grandmasters.
