How long do you take to review your games after you play them?
For example, in the above situation from a recent game, you missed a chance to either win a queen or get checkmate on move 12.
Did you go over this and figure it out?
It's okay to take a whole minute or more to figure out the right move.
I'll be honest, i did not pay attention to that. But for most of my games, i do Self Analysis and realise my mistakes. But unfortunately, that doesn't stop me from making more mistakes.
Hi. Playing longer time controls, (1 day per move or more), allows you time to calmly think about what to do. You can even play out various possible lines if you click on the analysis tab.
