Body: <p>Many websites (such as chess.com) provide chess tactic puzzles and I am wondering about the value of &quot;anti-tactic&quot; puzzles. By anti-tactic, I mean a position where if I make a careless move, then my opponent has a tactic to checkmate in a few moves or win some material forcefully. So my task is to find the best move that stops my opponent's ideas.</p>

  <ol>
  <li>Are these &quot;anti-tactic&quot; puzzles valuable?</li>
  <li>Where can I find such puzzles?</li>
