EPTUr tactical feel is pretty novice. If you had a little better tactical vision u would crush these guys since in other regards ur moves are sensible. Im 2200 on blitz on chess.com and 2200 elo irl so im not a noob looking at this.

Im 2200 on blitz on chess.com and 2200 elo irl so im not a noob looking at this. Thanks for good feedback. I now climbed to 1300 on blitz after focusing on tactics practice. I am also 1400 on daily chess and maybe can climb a little higher. Now I don't drop as many pieces and I notice when my opponent leaves pieces hanging. Sometimes I'm so focused I miss obvious crap - like one game I could've captured enemy queen with pawn but I was already in winning position and looking for some fancy combo that I missed it. Luckily I still won. At what rating range do people stop blundering pieces in blitz? | ||

Here's a fun game I played that finished today. Neither side played perfectly but we're not GMs  This is the other game I played. Managed to get a sizable lead out of the opening and finished with some special tactics  White resigned but this would've led to me being up a piece in addition to the 2 pawns. e.g. 20. Re2 Nxf4 21. Rxf4 Bxc3 22. Rxf8+ Rxf8 and white cannot recapture the bishop since he's hanging back rank checkmate. | ||

His opponent didn't notice however and the game went on for a few moves before either of them realised there had been a rook for the taking this whole time. I think it was a game of Josh Waitzkin (not sure about spelling), who had some instructional video's in the older Chessmaster game series (CM9 iirc). So in short, it happens to the best of us. I think it's called 'chess blindness'. When you think too deep or too positional, you can end up missing obvious moves. And because you expect your opponent to not blunder, you look for different things and might miss the exact obvious move your opponent missed. | ||

I'm playing three games where I'm a piece and 1-4 pawns up and opponent is refusing to resign. -_- They probably know how terrible you are, so if they hang in there you will probably allow mate in one. | ||

sometimes people will keep playing when they're down, because its easy to blunder. like i just blundered because i missed a simple discovered check until after i just made my move. now i'm gonna lose my queen and i'm gonna resign. if i dont blunder i try to shut off all counterplay by forcing exchanging off of pieces | ||

Maybe not in that picture, but the idea of playing for your opponent to screw up isn't a bad one at lower ELOs. | ||

anyway got up to 1350 blitz yesterday, but went on tilt today and dropped back down to 1300. was really hoping to break into 1400. in a month or two i hope. holding steady at 1500 daily chess. need to keep grinding and keep climbing. i'm happy cause over a decade ago in high school i was ranked 1100 scholastic, so at least i've gotten better since then - and i haven't competed since then either, just been reading books and playing coworkers and friends from time to time | ||
