Not me. I blunder just as equally regardless of what device I'm using.
blunders
You need to discipline yourself in online games. If they are 3-day limits, after the first few opening moves (and I mean maybe 4-5), stop making moves on the first day. Just don't do it, force yourself to think about the game for at least a few minutes at a time several times that day. When you come back to the game at different times, early and late, before and after eating, etc., you will often see something you missed at the first look, or even the second or third.
Good advice, but it's much easier to move in your games and get on with your life. If one is thinking about their games on this site while they're doing other things, they may make mistakes there.
I've done this on days where I didn't have to do much, and it has worked well (even at my low level). However, if my day is full, I have to move.
All good advice. Â My problem is my ocd kicks in and when I see that it is my move I have to look at the game and make a move. Â I think I need to limit the amount of games I am playing at once that way I can focus more. Â But for whatever reason, I tend to be so much more prone to blunders when I'm playing on my phone. Â cant't explain it. Â maybe its the smaller screen I dunno.
I agree with what has been said above: when you have multiple games on the go at once, it's easy to just flick through all the games, making moves quickly without spending much time on your decision.
I think on a smaller screen it may be easier to make blunders as you may not be able to see clearly where opponents pieces can move to (if that makes sense). For example, not thinking that a knight can move to a certain place because at a glance, you may misjudge where it can move to.Â
I think it's a combination of not spending enough time on looking at the board and having to work things out on a smaller screen.

I think 90% of my blunders are made when I'm playing chess on my phone. I need to stop, but when I get a notification saying I have 8 moves to make I cant help myself lol. Anyone have the same problem?
