Winning starts with what you know
The new version 18 offers completely new possibilities for chess training and analysis: playing style analysis, search for strategic themes, access to 6 billion Lichess games, player preparation by matching Lichess games, download Chess.com games with built-in API, built-in cloud engine and much more.
Tactics are exciting, in the middlegame and in the endgame. Pieces and pawns are captured and sacrificed, kings are mated, checks are given, passed pawns queen, and so on. But it pays to search for quiet, hidden tactcs, e.g. keeping the enemy king safely locked up.
