@twa232000yahoo-com The good thing is since you seem to be playing Daily a lot, time pressure is not a factor. So you should be able to blunder check every time (which also doesn’t seem to be a major issue.. it’s more positional and tactical issues as opposed to straight up blundering pieces).

A few suggestions I would have is:
– Stick to opening principles.. it looks like you start with part of an opening but then adjust to your opponent unnecessarily (they push a pawn to create tension, but you seem to want to relieve the tension when you don’t need to.. finish your opening and development instead, unless it truly threatens the goals of the opening)
– Move pawns much less in the opening (and in general).. they can never go backward, so you’re creating weaknesses in your position most times that you do that. Only move them to allow pieces out to start, or as part of the specific opening like Stonewall.
– “Over protect” your pieces. When you move a piece, look at what else can protect it (especially pawns). E.g. a bishop and pawn can protect each other very well.. outposts for knights, connected rooks.. this minimizes the possibility that a tactic will win your piece
– I see you’ve done puzzles in spurts.. keep working on that steadily.. consider it like a warmup to exercising (the game), since it will create pattern recognition helping you to find tactics.

My pleasure! It’s fun helping others. Good idea on the Stonewall, and you can learn the Owen’s Defense as well for black, as well. Since you play half of games as each color, it’s good to learn them both and keep growing. Eventually you’ll indeed know it in your sleep, and you can take some notes on more rare lines and what to do in those situations (though you should not look at those notes during play as that’s cheating IMO.. just review every so often). The more you play and review the more you’ll improve. Don’t forget puzzles too!
