Originally posted by mmQ I will do it as soon as possible if it benefits me (prevents my opponent from being able to castle). When it does happen in my games, it usually happens in the first 5 or 6 moves honestly. Later on, if you're up even any small margin of material, it usually makes sense to trade of equal material as often as possible.
That's crazy. -

Depends on the time format. But, for the most part, I guess I would say I'm about average for anyone who plays semi-regularly but doesn't study chess at all really. Maybe even slightly below average. I make dumbass blunders all the time.
You? -

Heard. I think I play too aggressively and impatiently nowadays. I used to be more defensive and take my time setting up solid positions, more or less playing it safe and simply waiting for my opponent to make a mistake. Now I just want to make something happen and look for the "kill-shot" as soon as I can, which often gets me into trouble. I need to go back to my roots.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Kawkasian That's me too, I don't really put any thoughts into my moves except the one I'm currently making and as you say that one is always an aggressive one with little thought of the moves to follow.
I think it's referred to as 'hope chess.' Make a move and hope for the best. I mean, I generally have a little bit of a plan but it's also very difficult for me to think more than 2 or 3 moves ahead. I just can't visualize it in my head lol. It's a little reassuring knowing that this is the case for the vast majority of casual players.
Then you got the fucking super GMs playing 5 people simultaneously while blindfolded keeping track of all the games in their head at the same time.
I recall hearing that Magnus has like 10,000 games just memorized, and I saw a thing where they just showed him random chess positions and he could recall what specific games they were from. -
