22 Jan '13 15:031 editOriginally posted by jmc000Is it curious though, clearly if you perceive the game to be simple, i.e you think you understand the position and believe you have an advantage, you would expect to be able to put less analysis into your moves.

22 Jan '13 16:16Originally posted by jmc000Try me. My speed is consistant either way and mostly because I just move without the time wasted trying to decide if I should do this or that. Got a feeling? Go for it.

If on the other hand it dawns on you that you have been mugged, and the game is actually very complex, you are bound to put a lot more analysis into your moves.

I am referring to waiting for the last minute in order to move. and again wait for the last minute. and again last minute. And meanwhile playing other games.
It is a silly reaction of denial. Very childish bad losers.
22 Jan '13 16:40The post that was quoted here has been removedExactly. I tend to slow down as I'm having my ass handed to me so I can take my time with the position, sometimes pulling out my chess set and really looking at the position offline where I can push the pieces around til I find what I'm looking for. Which is usually some way out of the mess, hehe. Most of my messes, btw, are caused by my moving too fast in the first place.

I like to think also on my opponent's time, so it never bothers me when they start to play more slowly. It helps me to concentrate on my attack and not getting it wrong. 90% of my errors come from moving too fast.
