So I've noticed a big weakness in my game, which is that when the center is tense I tend to be a lot more prone to blunders - i.e. missing easy tactics to do with trading pawns, taking pieces with check, etc...
Often is the time I'll have done some trades in a tense center only to find I'm a piece down, unbeknowst to me. I think I'm a fairly decent tactician, but for some reason, when there's central tension, I just go blind. Does anyone have a good set of puzzles or anything that might help?
