Played 10 games of OTB rapid, with 10s increment. I ruined 5 winning games.
First allowed my opponents pieces to scoop up my extra pawns (was a draw).
Then,l lost an endgame where I was up an exchange.
Next game, I hung a piece.
Next, I repeated 3 times accidentally. Final game, blundered mate in 2.
How do I stop this? Should I do more tactics and play more?
Thanks for all replies!
Avoid time pressure.
I say it with a great deal of sympathy for your desire to play correctly, having lost many times from the blunders of time pressure.
