Do not blitz your 7 7 games. You will eventualy lose 60 points in one afternoon :'(
EDIT: 65 🙁
After Bxf8 Rxf8 then you are up a pawn.

That's a pretty bad day all told. Live and learn I suppose. I made a similar mistake. Starting out I played people of whatever my provisional rating was at the time, and since my true strength seems to be about 1700 I had a lot of easy wins against my mostly 1100-1400 opposition and I didn't need to spend much time on a position or make much use of databases; then as my rating increased so did the strength of my opponents as I continued to choose them based on current (increasing) rating, while my previous 'rapid' style play and superficial database usage also continued. That didn't work out so well.
Without taking away any credit from my opps and their well earned victories, I had to learn to slow down - a lot - if I wanted to avoid falling into beginner level 1 move N forks (which has happened twice) and just ruinous, horrible opening positions (which has happened a few times).
I haven't yet, to my knowledge at least, mistakenly resigned a game that I was winning in though. 😀
Originally posted by wormwoodWell as soon I subscribed I got too many games in progress and I still didn't analyze throughly but with a little bit of caution and at least 5 minutes per move, I broke 1630 pretty easily. Then I realized that with real analyzing and slow moving reducing my game load I really can break 1700 with no problems. I became impatient and I started blitzing my RHP games 🙁
never move within the hour you first see your opponent's move. even better if you don't move the same day. just check out quickly what's going on with his move, and let it simmer there for a while.
there's no glory in making bad moves fast.
It always happens to me, and I know it is a wrong way and waste of time. But this, resigning game because of mistake during my speedy refreshing of the browser, this is just too much.
Originally posted by NordlysLOL too true but I'm with wormwood on this one. In fact, I think if you look at it and jot down whatever immediate ideas that come to your mind, then let it simmer and come back later you'll see more than you did the first time and probably some refutations to first pass ideas that you didn't see initially.
There's no glory in making bad moves slowly either. 🙁
Edit: this is the CC equivalent to the OTB idea that some Master once wrote: when you see a strong move, sit on your hands and look for a better one.
Originally posted by scandiumI almost never make a move immediately, but I have made some of my worst blunders after several days, coming back to the game several times before making my terrible move.
