Keep blundering Again

Sort:
LazyDog24

I run into situations where I think for a while before making a move. Than my opponent just forks my king and queen. I've tried blunder check but I always get in time trouble. Or it just oversee a fork on my king and rook when I do try one. It's becoming annoying. I want to improve but how can I if I keep doing this?

Have you considered playing longer games than 10 minutes? You want to improve, but the clock forces error...in your last 3 losses you made blunders either directly before resigning or a move earlier. Timestamp shows you spent 8, 13 and 6 seconds respectively on these blunders. Bad news...you are not Hikaru. You don't see things in a flash, you need time to see what is going on. Play 15/10 or 30 minutes so you don't have to rush your decisions and can carefully decide the best move. You might still get it wrong but at least give yourself a chance.

Hi! My name is Lauren Goodkind and I'm a chess coach based in California.  Consider all checks and captures before you make a move.  Ask, "If I move here, where is my opponent going to move?".  In other words, put yourself in your opponent's shoes.  I agree with Strangemover: play with a slow time control, such as game in 30 minutes.  

   I hope that this helps.

Thanks for the advice both of you, I'll try daily chess so I can think and because I have a tendency to rush my moves

I'm on a bad streak so I should slow down
