Body: <p>So each day I practice a different tactic.  So my tactics training regimen is like this (Chess Tempo)</p>
  
  <p>Day 1:</p>
  
  <p>5 problems - (standard) specific tactical motif (i.e. discovered attack, sacrifice, fork/double attack, etc) </p>
  
  <p>5 problems - blitz</p>
  
  <p>5 problems - mixed</p>
  
  <p>Day 2:</p>
  
  <p>5 problems - (standard) specific mate type</p>
  
  <p>5 problems - "problems I've gotten wrong at least once"</p>
  
  <p>5 problems - standard</p>
  
  <p>And I alternate everyday doing that.  I keep a log to record how well I am doing.  If over three consecutive runs of the same tactic, I end up scoring a 13 (out of 15) or better, I will up the difficulty by 200 points (right now I have all the specific tactic-type sets limited to 1400-1700).  My Chess Tempo standard tactics rating is around 1600.  </p>
  
  <p>Right now, I am not even done with one round, but so far I have this:</p>
  
  <p>Advanced Pawn   5</p>
  
  <p>Attraction  3

  <p>Avoiding Stalemate  3</p>

  Chess tactics frame different positions which we sometimes come across the Board . It may be Double attack , fork , Pin and many others . Just solving the Chess tactics lone is never the measurement because when you solve a tactic you know already that there is a sacrificial or a combinational move which will make you win or help to solve the tactic . In real games sometimes you even get an easy position but you fail to find the best move OTB .
  
  Solving tactics just make you at ease that you are doing something and practicing Chess but it is never the complete homework to make the best judgement .
  
  A different way to find the performance measurement is that how good you are making a calculation or even finding your own weaknesses in specific patterns . like for an example you have a habit of leaving your piece hanging in your own games . So you must solve tactics relating to Hanging pieces which will help to improve your weak point . They say in whichever tactic you find it difficult to solve you have a weakness in that area .
