Something to Think About

In chess, do you think it is better to have a qiuck checkmate or take all the peices before taking the grand prize (King). In my opinion either way is fine because the result is the same. Have you ever made a careless error or oversee something, well I know this has happened to the vast majority of us so here is some advice 1st be more cautious 2nd look to see if your opponent is lining up something 3rd if he is counter it and 4th look ahead of the game and predict you and your opponents next few moves. Sometimes I rush to a move without realizing what a mess I got myself into. This is what usually costs me a game and some of yours to. But it happens to the best of us but we can prevent it by analyzing the chess pieces.
