And if you are missing forks, you can choose to filter for only fork puzzles.

If I know a problem is “find the fork”, im in a complete different mindset from “find the best move”.

Because of that I doubt doing problems of the former kind will help seeing forks much when going back to “find the best move” type problems.

The main way to improve at solving tactical puzzles - and at seeing tactical opportunities/threats in games - is to develop pattern recognition for the many tactical themes there are. Training on specific themes for some time is a very powerful way to do so. I'm experimenting with this approach on BraiMax Chess and results from users are very good - I'll publish some stats as soon as I get enough data.

> “find the best move”

Before you can do that, you need to understand the moves you can make and their implications. I think identifying forks fit here.
