2
Can I CAPTURE?Did my opponent leave anything undefended? Is there a free piece?8 missed free captures
3
Am I ATTACKED?What is my opponent threatening? Do I need to defend something?9.5 blunders per game
4
what's my NEXT move?What's my plan? Am I developing, attacking, or improving a piece?4 tilt streaks (3+ bad moves in a row)
Do this EVERY move. This alone fixes 80% of your losses.

The Rules
◆When up material, trade pieces. Fewer pieces, fewer blunders.
◆Don't move same piece twice in the opening unless capturing.
◆When tilting, stop and breathe. Two bad moves? Slow way down.
◆No queen raids. Your queen gets chased, you lose tempo.
◆Every piece has a job. If a piece isn't doing anything, move it to a better square.
◆Control the center. Pieces in the center control more squares.

Finishing the Game
Endgame Cheat Sheet
Step Zero: Before Anything When Ahead
1
Am I about to stalemate?
If opponent's king has no legal moves and isn't in check, it's a draw. Always leave an escape square when you're winning.
1 stalemate in your games
2
Is my back rank safe?
Make sure your king has an escape square (h3/g3 or h6/g6). Don't get mated on the back rank.
2 back rank mates against you
3
Can I checkmate?
When you're up material, stop and look for checkmate before making 'safe' moves.
3 missed checkmates
The 4 Checkmate Patterns
♜ Back Rank Mate
King trapped behind own pawns on the back row.
Spot it: King on g8 with pawns f7/g7/h7. Any rook or queen on 8th rank = mate.
♛ Queen + Support
Queen delivers check, another piece covers escapes.
Spot it: King near corner. Queen can land next to it + another piece covers remaining squares.
♜♜ Ladder Mate
Two major pieces alternate checks, pushing king to edge.
Method: Rooks on adjacent ranks. Alternate checks. King gets pushed row by row to the wall. 4-5 moves, done.
♛♔ Kiss of Death
Queen gets next to enemy king, your king supports her.
Used when: Q+K vs K. Push enemy king to edge with queen, walk your king up, mate on the wall.
How to Win
♛♔ vs ♚
- Queen builds a “wall”: cuts off ranks/files
- Push enemy king toward any edge
- Walk YOUR king closer to help
- Deliver checkmate on the edge
♜♔ vs ♚
- Rook cuts off king to one side
- Bring your king toward theirs
- Use king to control squares
- Rook checks when king retreats
♛♜ vs ♚
- Put them on adjacent ranks
- Alternate check, check, check
- King pushed to wall in 4-5 moves
- Don't overthink. Just ladder.

Patterns Found
Hanging Pieces
18xBefore every move, ask: 'Is the square safe? Am I leaving anything undefended?'
Forgetting to Castle
6xCastle by move 10 if possible. It's the single best thing you can do for king safety.
Missed Free Captures
8xAfter opponent moves, ask: 'What did they just give me?' Look for captures before making plans.
Blunder Streaks (Tilt)
4xAfter 2 bad moves, stop and breathe. Look at the whole board. Consider taking a break between games.
Early Queen Development
5xDevelop knights and bishops first. The queen gets chased by cheaper pieces, losing tempo.
Undeveloped Pieces
7xAim to develop all minor pieces by move 10. A piece on its starting square isn't helping you.
Missed Checkmates
3xWhen up big material, slow down and scan for checkmate. Practice mate-in-1 puzzles daily.
Back Rank Mates
2xCreate luft (escape square) for your king early. Move h3/g3 (or h6/g6) before it's urgent.
