What is the your tactical awareness and what steps are you taking to improve it?

What is a bit surprising that by variant, I get 69.6% in classical and 71.4% in rapid but that's probably just a result of rapid providing rather small sample.

I think you are right, playing in the longer time, helps us to identify tactics.
I will try that.

Thanks for your advice, i will let you know after a month or so, by playing longer games and try to improve it. Let's see what happens.

I would highly recommend Azel Chua's course Introduction to Chess Calculation. He teaches you to think about targets, which naturally leads to seeing tactics.

www.chessable.com/introduction-to-chess-calculation/course/212650/

I would take those puzzles that he has in the course and then take some more puzzle sets (woodpecker method was suggested, that's a good puzzle set, but I would add others), and make flashcards. Repeat these puzzles until you can get them very fast. Always look for targets.

Another great puzzle set with about 3000-4000 puzzles is stepchess.ru. But it's a Russian site and you'll have to use google chrome translate function to navigate.
