The title says it all.
Practising tactics ( or any element of chess ) is helpful and, usually, productive.
It improves your ability to see patterns, and hopefully to see them quicker or more accurately.
However, if you do not practise a thinking method or process when playing, then you can fail to obtain the maximum benefit from your training.
I succeeded in gaining material in my solution, but I failed. Why so ?
Simple.
Top of the thinking process should be the King : the safety of your own, and the vulnerability of your opponent's.
I missed the mate.
I'm sure, reader, that you won't , but that's either because you are better at tactics than me ( highly likely ) but you also have a clue that material is not what is a stake here.
