Against opponents my own level:
- A fair % of my wins come out of the opening, as does a small % of my losses.
- Some wins out of the middle game, too many losses, mainly because I forget my opponent gets to play too.
- I do better in endings than I should, drawing losses, and winning draws. But I do lose some here too.
All games are more or less decided either by a clear win or a draw at one stage of the game. This also happens when one player makes an obvious blunder or weak move they say. My question is for most players out there which part of the game do you feel your advantage or perhaps what we can call the " tipping point" is most achievable?
Is it in the opening? The middle game perhaps or always playing for the decisive ending your kind of experience? as far as my personal experience is concerned the tipping point almost always occur towards the onset of the end game. Is this the same for you guys?
I can't really find a logical reason why this is so for me. Perhaps it has to do with my playing stlye or attitude perhaps. However I feel most relaxed when the end game comes.
