So I often find myself up a lot of material in the opening (through traps and forks), only to blunder it all away and end up losing 😡. I try to think about my moves, but a lot of the time I just end up getting over-confident and miss simple things (like the fact that my rook is being attacked). Any advice? Thanks 😪.

Playing nothing but speed chess doesnt give you time to think.

I do play rapid too, I just was doing more blitz lately

You can call it "rapid" all you want.  But when youre moving so fast that you are losing in 7 moves.  Your playing speed chess:

So how are you expecting to improve if you're moving fast?

As I said, I don't do that in all my games, look at this one: https://www.chess.com/game/live/21445823709

I am simply giving you an answer to your question.  You chose to ignore it, and deflect to something else.

never said I wasn't going to try it. I was simply showing that I don't always move so fast, I think you jumped to that conclusion upon viewing one game I've played.

Well, thanks everyone for the insights happy.png, I'll be sure to put all this to use in my games. I'll play in slower time controls, and play slower altogether. Thanks again wink.png
