If you want to build your chess skills, I highly recommend lichess.org/practice.

Lichess is 100% free and practice exercises are great. #chesspunks

Don't worry about solving every puzzle. A lot of the ones I encountered were really hard to see.

I'd also advise pairing your practice with googling the tactic when you struggle with it.

Understanding what a "fork" is in chess makes it easier to find them.

I've also been explaining to my 10 year old that one of the most powerful tools to make tactics work is understanding the chess concept of "forced moves", where you can guarantee your opponent has to react a certain way. It almost promises you multiple moves for yourself.

Finally remember that chess is a journey. Don't get discouraged if you can't see stuff. Let what you miss be your guide for improvement.

You'll get it next time.
