Hey Nelson,
Thanks for this! I’m finding that my main problem is my overall vision. As the game progresses, I forget about everything and focus on what’s happening where the pieces are moving. I’m losing focus on the ENTIRE board so I hope this course can help me! I know you have mentioned “tunnel vision” before on YouTube so I really need to work on that, did you ever have this problem as you were learning?

I have this exact problem, especially when I’m low on time D:
Here’s a meme I created from one of my own games to help describe to my chess coach what I was seeing when I made a game losing blunder

That. Is. Awesome.

I usually like to ask myself the question every time a move is played: “What changed about the position?” And by doing this EVERY single move I sort of keep track of everything little by little. Of course there are moments when you have to stop and consider the board as a whole, but most of the time I already have a good idea of what’s going on because I always ask that question.

Same problem. I see tactics in the middle game pretty well. But I play a lot of 2/1 bullet (bad way to learn, I know…but I love the rush) and once clock hits 10 seconds and I’m only getting a 1 second increment, my vision goes to hell.

Faster time controls just teaches me to rush and blunder.. developing bad habits to not check “what changed in the position” so I don’t carry it over to longer games.. totally not worth it, IMO (if you want to get better).
