Thanks! I just tried out the "possible captures and threats" when making moves and this helped a lot!
Things like that take experience. Just keep reviewing your games and learn from mistakes. You will find eventually you will see the tactics without even thinking too much. I've gained a fair bit of elo recently by reviewing more.
Also watch vids on YouTube. Gotham Chess and chess vibes are two guys id recommend for getting a comprehensive explanation on things.
Hello! I am currently around 770 elo and when I analyze my games, the one thing I see very consistently is misses. How do I stop missing possible tactics and not be ignorant to my opponent's blunders?
