quiet moves in tactics

Hey guys,
I discovered that I'm very good at calculating forced lines, but sometimes have difficulties finding quiet moves as a first move or during a sequence of a tactic.
Are there any books about this subject you can recommend or have you encountered this problem yourself and overcame it?
best regards

Ive discovered that your very good at blowing your own horn
I was just talking about my strengths and weaknesses. If you want, you can add a "as compared to".
"very good at calculating forced lines as compared to finding quiet moves (...)".
I wasn't insulting anybody or trying to feel superior to anybody.
And yes, l do think that I handle a part of the game quite well.
Others I don't and that levels in the end.
I was just nicely asking a question and YOU take it personal.
I dont even know why you are asking that type of question about your chess out in the open..

you leave it to others to answer a part of your chess that is clearly a self journey of discovery?

a simple google search of the words 'quiet tactical chess moves' and theres many articles there.

instead you go and trumpet yourself by going on a forum and go 'hey guys im really good at concrete lines, how do i find quiet moves as a combo launcher'

internet. powerful tool. or you can ask a bunch of chumps who you will disagree with anyway.
I've already explained to you how I meant my question, yet you insist on misunderstanding it.
And no, just googling it doesn't work in this case (I tried it, smart-aleck). I don't want a small article, I'm looking for a book or a valid training method.
I guess you think you're very funny.
"Haha, look, I'm thirteen years old and discovered I could pretend I'm from North Korea and comment bullshit on other people's posts who are seeking advice."
You have a very pathetic life.

Stop it #2, #4; I don't really see much braggingin his posts; I only see jealousy in yours..

thank you
I think I'm pretty good at blowing my own horn too.
What the OP is trying to explain is quite clear to me. He is looking for a place to practice tactics that require a subtle first move that does not look forcing, but when diving deeper actually shows to be very powerful.

Composition problems are useful for finding forced moves... Is there no way to search problems on sites such as chess.com or 365chess.com with tags? Perhaps lichess.org is on its way in implementing such system?

Another suggestion could be to study positional games, whereas the tactics are very important (you have to see them to not fall for them). A few years back positional games bore me, but the beauty lies in having a more strategic approach instead of a tactical one. To develop and improve one will of course have to iteratively work between studying/practicing the two.

Best of luck in your training,

Finally some serious answers, thank you guys!
I'll go to bed soon since it's 11pm here and answer the rest of you tomorrow.
Here is an example.
Once you see the move, it's so easy. Sometimes I just don't see it and calculate Bullshit like Bxf7+, trying to win another pawn.

#8 Thanks for your answer, I'll get to you tomorrow :)

#9 That theory is very interesting. I'm probably also a plant, will check that tomorrow again :)
