seeing mates is part of the tactical strength(most of the tactics is not about
mates but saying that mate extensions are not relevant for tactical strength is
not truth.

I believe that they are relevant
Tiger14.7 for the palm is using them and I understood that it is one of the

It is better not to use them than using them in the wrong way but it does not
mean that they are not relevant for games.
