So, i'll always end up playing some lazy move (such as a one move threat) because truly i have no clue what to do at the board, what should i study? middle games? strategy? plan making?

How to limit blunders lol

strategy and plan-making go hand in hand

middlegames as a whole are a cluster of tactics, which fits under the larger winning strategy

so the answer to your question is simply yes, to study all three, but incrementally (that is to say, study where you feel you are weakest)

I must find how cc is doing this

When you don’t know what to do try to find your worst placed piece and improve it’s position

like if your bishop is not active, you could trade it off for a more active piece or maneuver it to a better square

or just don’t blunder and give the pressure of moving pieces and possibly blundering to your opponent

Study master games if you can and go through it with someone to explain it if you'd like and you can get ideas on the middlegame plan and different ways to attack.

If you have no clue what to do, you have to first attempt to figure out what your plan should be. If the problem is, indeed, that you're lazy, then there's no way that can be helped except a change in mindset. Really, it doesn't matter nearly as much how good your plan is as long as you have some sort of plan.

I do it quite a bit, yes, i love looking at grandmaster games, but tbh i don't understand half of their moves lol, i'll understand if it's like improving a piece or attacking something, but if it's a slow, long term move, then i'll only understand it once that plan has been played out

Problem is my plan at all times, no matter the position is "how do i attack", and i know that's just not how i should think, sometimes there'll just be no attack and i'll have to slow play for a bit, i guess just wanting to get to an attack already is what causes me to play such lazy moves, wanting to get to a point of the game where things are a little more lively, but in doing so the odds of me blundering probably skyrocket, so now i actually that i wrote all this, i don't think it's a case of laziness, sounds more like a case of impatience rather, wanting to play my game rather than the opponents game all the time
