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)

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.
