if you can't find a weakness make one. attack the king.
although this probably isn't good advice, try castling opposite sides to the opponent and do a pawn storm. may not be the best in all circumstances but a plan is better than no plan. if you don't like this idea then try to get your bishops, knights and queens aiming (if your opponent castles kingside) at the h2/h7 g2/g7 squares and after a few goes at this idea you could find sacrifices that commonly appear. in short pattern recognition.
if you can't find any way to attack then get a good pawn structure and find tactics that damage your opponents pawn structure. exchange pieces and ultimately get a better endgame and win that way.
hello guys ^^
i am currently rated about 1400 in blitz and i struggle going above that ... i know my problem but i dont know how to solve it ...
this is a game i had yesterday
https://www.chess.com/live/game/2142980751
i usually play perfectly and find the best move till the middle game ( even in the middle game if my opponent has a weakness which i will make my target ) , then theres that moment in the middle when the opponent has no weaknesses that's when my brain freezes and i never find the answer to " what next "
look at my game yesterday till move 20 ... i had clear advantage i put myself into , but everything then collapsed , and till now i still dont know what i had to do
and even now , i still cant find the idea of what shall i had done next ? what shall my objective be ?
please help me , i started learning chess last October and i am trying to improve , but i have been struggling for like 2 month at this rank , finding it very hard to solve this question " what is next "
thanks in advance for anyone who will reply , have a nice day ^^
