I suggest you read more endgame books. Their is a good one by Silman called Complete Endgame Course. A good checkmate sequence is always prepared early in the Middle and opening play. It’s like when you consider the Greek gift, you need to plan ahead, because one wrong move and the hunter becomes the hunted.
Me too. We were playing in the house with my siblings. It was fund because we managed to finish two books. We played over all the moves on the board. I think the lockdowns was a good time for indoor games. My chess has improved since i dedicated more time to it during the covid lockdown period. Also, since i lost my job when the pandemic started, i have all the time in the world to perfect my play.
Hey, don’t beat yourself so much, chess is a game of blunders. If your opponent doesn’t blunder or make a weak move, you will never win. But I would suggest you play longer time controls until you get comfortable with the common patterns. Try to remember as many patterns as possible. Blunders occur when you have a position you have never seen or played before.
Also, to avoid blunders, don’t play when you are tired, or playing for long hours.
What is your rating? If it is below 2000, you will still have some blunder issues. But that doesn’t mean GMs don’t blunder, everybody blunders, but when you are just getting started you will kinda blunder more.
