Just played this one:

I had a couple of pretty bad blunders. I was never in this game really, played from behind from early on.

Any feedback is welcome as always.

I notice it was a 10 minute game with no increment. If u add an increment it would allow u more time to think. Maybe 5 second increment. Playing slower will help a lot, maybe start with 15 minutes. 

Ur analysis seemed to be in the right direction except u go from move to move and not a plan. If u watch some pawn structure videos it will help u come up with a plan to follow so that ur analysis will go into how well ur plan is going as opposed to just move to move thoughts.

Thanks for the comment! 100% right on the absence of plan. I basically just look around for opportunities, or react to mistakes. No plan to speak of.

 

btw, this was a 15|10 game, so it had increments…
