Mr. Fields is giving you sound advice cal. I was given the same advice and once I learned not to rush into moves I know that my playing strength definitely increased. My blitz rating is around 690 or so but I noticed a change in the way I play now. I no longer rush my moves (this is why Mr. Fields told you to sit on your hands) and I give myself the amount of time that I need to see the board. My board visualization skills have never had a chance to develop like the higher rated members here because I really did learn how the game of chess is played just this past Thanksgiving weekend. That's was the first time I ever picked up a chess piece ever and I remember asking my sister's boyfriend if chess was somewhat similar to checkers. Anyway to make a long story short (my goodness I have forgotten what I was babbling on about) don't rush your moves and you will improve rather quickly. Why I wouldn't be surprised if my blitz rating went up from 660 (or whatever it is) to 750 by the middle of May. Cheers! 🌹

If he sits on his hands, he'll have to move his pieces with his teeth...
I found the Chess Mazes books by Bruce Alberston to both reduce my blunders and improve the accuracy and speed of my calculation skills. I also try to:
* look away from the board (or close my eyes for a second)
* visualize my move
* scan my opponent's pieces in order (K, Q, R, B, K, P) for threats
* and finally move the piece on the board
where can you get master games I ve heard master games could help you with chess I want some very high quality clearly annotated games with adequate comments.

There are tons of books and videos of annotated games appropriate to all levels of skill. At the beginner level, I've enjoyed Chess Master vs Chess Amateur by Max Euwe and Silman's The Amateur's Mind. Chernev's Logical Chess: Move by Move - Every Move Explained is also worthwhile, though the writing is a bit dense at times. While I find playing thru annotated games instructive and fun, I think it's unlikely that this approach will significantly reduce blunders, which is the topic at hand.
