Where do you have more problems? Openings/Middlegame/Endgame?

In what area do you think you suffer the most?

Hard to say; I think we both (and most everyone to post in this thread) have many problems at every stage when compared to GM play

We are all worst at the middle game.

ALL

opening - when i desperate to win on time in bullet, i tend to make blunders

midgame - not rare i am confused by opponents' weak moves or unaware of their simple traps, too lazy too think long so instead if just respond attacks with attacks

endgame - still struggle to get used to many patterns, often miss obvious wins/mates

Middle game. It's often hard to find the best plan

Openings! I can fight my way through the midgame but usually they just play something weird in the early game and sometimes I fight an uphill battle.

Openings, just a lack of knowledge.

middlegame cuz thats where i blunder and thats where its hard to find plans..... especially when it isn't in my opening book

I always struggled with endgames as the only content I had access to (Youtube videos and such, no books when I was starting) never really focused on endgames. The vast majority of free online chess content is openings and their corresponding middlegames

Mid game, I am very good at tactics but I often don't realize when a piece is attacking one of my pieces, in the other categories I am good

Same

middlegame.

"In the opening a master should play like a book, in the mid-game he should play like a magician, in the ending he should play like a machine" - Rudolf Spielmann.

I like to be a magician in HOMM3, but in real life... ummm... you can try to take a staff, push it on sand, say "If I'll be or if I'll not be", and then try to get into a slumber, and get a prophecy [even though you're not a prophet, at all]. I think this wisdom, and sorcery, are forgotten. there are things in India, but that's elements of spirituality, learned from Brahmins, not magic / sorcery.

[they are the sons of Abraham: "But unto the sons of the concubines whom Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts; and while he yet lived he sent them away from Isaac his son, eastward unto the east country." Genesis 25 6]

Middlegame is awfully difficult for me.

Often I even don't know which piece to choose for a next move.

It's a real nightmare.

endgame>opening>middlegame

Middlegame is where I struggle the most. My opening understandings and endgame 'prowess' are enough to nearly push me above 1300/1400 (My coach says this not me). However my middlegame is HORRID. I can never think of what to play right. Like @Korotky_trinity I don't know what to do and end up wasting 30 seconds thinking. I can never think of the right ideas or just simply don't know what to do, and end up relying on opponent blunders/mistakes/insane moves to give me something to think about

Man, maybe this ability to play middlegame is the thing which distinguishes good Chess players from us. )

 They know the standard patterns for typical positions maybe... I don't know.

I like middlegames but sharp positions confuzzle me-...

 Okey. Thank you.
