Streak: Day 14. I’m at a fork in the road. I finished step 2. Thinking about going back and finishing step 1 extra and mix before moving on to step 2+. Any thoughts from #stepsmethod people?

Streak: Day 13. This is the first of the type “thinking ahead”. As black, what move do you make after the move listed (for mate). These are good to begin practicing visualization.

One of the many things I love about the #stepsmethod is the Mix puzzles. Themed puzzles are excellent, but the Mix puzzles and books force you to "find the best move", not look for a specific tactic.
