good at puzzles bad at chess

I am absolutely failing in blitz and chess with narrow time, so for: time pressure. Because I still need some time to „see“ traps and chances.



In classical chess (where you have much more time for your next move) and puzzles I’m much better. I have won all my last games in classical chess, just because I don’t have the time pressure. I’m still not processing fast enough to do a decent chess play with just minutes to think.

If you use daily for example, you have one day to make your next move. Without the time pressure you can improve better, because you have time to analyse your position and the opponent’s position. Just do more classical chess in the next time, because you can use the explorer to analyse and study your next moves (and hidden traps and the next possible moves of the opponent!!).

In general:
If an opponent makes a move and you don’t understand why he did this, try to find his approach! Don’t make the next move without really analysing. As a beginner you can’t do if you have to act within seconds. You will fail and not understand why…
