1100 Or 1200 rated can be the toughest to beat. May be I am going through lean patch these days.Out of form,disturbed or over confident or what?.

My recommendation is to take time every move.  Think for as long as you can stand it and then think longer.  Once you've moved your piece with the mouse take a quick glance over the whole board before clicking the submit move button.

Correspondence allows you to think a lot before you have to move.  There is no excuse for not looking at every check, capture, and threat that you or your opponent has.

When I play fast (like I did the other day) I blunder (like I did the other day by allowing my bishop to be trapped by a pawn)
