What is the correct pace to solve puzzles?

I know this may seem an abstract question,

but recently I have had trouble having patience to triple check and calculate lines until the end.

I'm a musician so I know in music the best way to practice is slow. Amateur musicians always go fast fast fast and not thorough. Also in sports, throwing weights around fast is less effective than slow and controlled. On the other hand there is also "explosive" movements, which is an important skill in sports (and music actually)

But I feel chess is different because chess is not an art or a sport... It's a game.

And games there is an element of guessing sometimes, intuition, having fun, playing (some equivilancies with music but nvm).

So when practicing chess (solving puzzles, calculating etc), how slow should you go?

I've heard people say solve many puzzles within 10 seconds, and adjust difficulty so that they are not too easy or too hard where they take over 10 (!) seconds... That seems very fast to me.

But also when I go extreme-slow with solving, it feels like my intuition is affected and my ability actually goes down (when I triple check everything and find the best moves for the computer etc, I can spend 15 minutes on a puzzle or more)

Also in games, the same thing, it seems like in chess playing "A La Tempo" (litteraly quickly, not "with tempo on a piece") has some significance to the flow of the game and when you go too scientific you often fatigue yourself and blunder in critical moments...

So what is the most effective pace and technique/s to study tactics?

Thx

Spend 5-15 minutes on complex puzzles to train your calculation skills and ensure accuracy. Focus on visualizing the entire sequence of moves and considering all possible responses.

I find puzzles from the 50 to 95 mark the most tricky because of the large 'puzzle pool' the database can pull from. From 95 onwards the pool is much more niece, for example: I have 6 puzzles that are rated 4000 (the maximum of a puzzle) and I find them the easiest, one's is a one move for goodness sake! The puzzle just repeats in sets so the key is to memorize them and soon you'll find that it is not chess but more memory.

I am not a musician, so it might be hard for me to compare it to music. It is also difficult to estimate the time needed to solve puzzles since it depends on the puzzles themselves. However, the most important thing is to follow the process: check the entire board, analyze different options, calculate them to the end, and name them.

I have a video where I explain everything in detail, which you might find useful:

One final remark — when learning and improving in chess, it is better to take it slowly, especially in the beginning. You need to train your brain and develop good habits. Once you have a solid foundation, you can gradually increase your speed.

Wow guys thanks for all the great replies. Sorry for the delay in response I forgot I wrote this post

This is all very solid advice. I will definitely do all this (15 minutes, avoid fast puzzle rush)

We tend to rush with the answer in puzzles because we watch a lot of youtube videos in which they play chess like they would have urgent need to go to the toilet. To be honest, my brain cannot keep up with that speed and I prefer slow chess like classic time control. I also tend to go too fast on the puzzles and noticed if I just breath in and out, relax and do the calculations, it's easy to get up in score. If you keep guessing and messing up, it's easy to lose 100 points in a heart beat.

Hey man awesome video!! This really helped I will implement these methods. Great tips along the video!

My comparison with music was simply to explain that in music - the slower the better... Even if a piece is 140 bpm, play it 35 bpm (x4 as slow) and it will be helpful for the learning process... but in chess if I go very slow and too obsessive I lose focus and calculate bad, then get frustrated. Like how do you know how slow to go? because I can be obsessive on moves and triple check if they are correct in all lines, then I'm not sure, and it takes forever...

I made a video of myself solving puzzles which demonstrates how easy it is to lose puzzle rating when you "guess" or try to go with intuition instead of calculating. My goal was to get up to 1700 but instead went from 1608 beneath 1492 and then when focused a little bit more, I managed to get back to 1603. I got my focus back at the 38:40 mark and at the end I got correct nine in a row which is two away from my record.
