But tactics is the most important part in a chess game as Ruben Fine once said. And I can confirm this. Once I let Fritz take a look at the games me and my chess team played in the last 2 years and in EACH game either tactical blunder was played or tactical win was missed. We have 2 ELO >2200 in the team but they also failed... So an important way to improve your play is to practice tactics AND keep your eyes wide open for tactics in practical games.
