Can someone helpe with calculations? Because most of the times, when I am low on time I either hesitate and drain my clock or panick and make a mistake.

SET A PLAN AND MOVES WILL COME OUT EASILY

Man there are many cases where players just throw a winning game ACCIDENTALLY

hmm that's correct.That is pure intuition

Not very good at this myself. That said, I find I sometimes end up calculating the same set of moves over and over. I think one key is learning to calculate (hopefully) right the first time, and then move on.

The panic element is counterproductive

The more patterns you recognize, the faster will come the calculations so this suggests (to me) a lot of puzzle work particularly in Mate-in-one and Tactics. Just a thought from a low-rate newb. :-)

ADDED: And good luck to you on your chess games - may each one be delicous!

You panick?

My friend, the number of possible chess positions is more than the number of atoms in our whole observable universe!

and the vast majority of those(99.99%+) are positions we will never encounter

i suggest calculating pawn storm endgames as that forces you to think fast and deep at the same time

Lmaoo!

But the thing is choosing between lines and sometimes these confuse, leading to a mistake...

@TheFluxion If you want faster calculations, you should be utilizing our Puzzle Rush at least. Identifying pattern groups under time pressure would help. Spotting winning patterns huge part of the game, no?

Yeah it is
