Hey people,
I started playing chess in November 2017. My first rating was around 900-1000pts. (rapid/classical) and slowly, over the last couple of months, I managed to increase my rating to 1600-1800pts.
So far, my training scheme is simple: (a) play a lot of games and analyse my mistakes afterwards (b) tactic puzzles (c) watch streams/videos.
Despite lacking opening theory and endgame wisdom, I feel my most urging flaw is what I want to call “impulsive moving”. Often or not, I deem a move as good and instantly go for It, without analysing it to the full depth. Most of the time I just blundered badly. This is losing me a lot of games and although, the more I play, the better it gets, sometimes I’m just the biggest moron on earth.
Believe me, it is not just losing games. “Impulsive moving” turns me into an irritated person, which yells and screams like a baby. My girlfriend recently called me a freak. I smashed my laptop after hanging a queen. This is a serious problem.
How do I stop myself from immediately moving, but start thinking more deeply? Please help.
Best regards,
b
