Tactics and analyzing a lot of games without any outside help, that last one helped me a lot with chess awareness (altho I may still hang some stuff ocasionally).

Do you do daily tactics? I dont know about others and how their work, but if I dont do daily tactics I dont feel as sharp.

About 6-8 months ago I had the delusional idea that I was pretty good at tactics so I didnt use to do tactics at all, I needed to hang some pretty painful stuff to realize tactics were my weakest part in the game! After doing 20~  tactics per day for those last months my strenght has improved quite a bit.

 PD: Doing tactics on blitz mode in ChessTempo is freaking fun and should help with time trouble stuff.

Tips to avoid hasty moves in OTB play? Sit on your hands. The fact that you must pull your hands out from under your butt before moving should act as a "memory hook" to take one last look for dumb oversights.

Unfortunately, that doesn't work in time trouble, since it only slows you down more.

That seems like a good one! "Sit on your hands" but i need to avoid hasty moves in time trouble also.I need something for that and i need it real fast. That loss is haunting me!

If you have 1hour and 30 min plus 30 sec increments how can you be under time pressure?

Time pressure is later on in the game

GM Silman has done some articles on similar, I think the main advice lines were.

1. Know your opening, so you can play the first 10 moves or so in micro-seconds.

2. Do not over analye each and every move, save that time for a particular difficult defense or calculating the coup-de-grace.

3. Always improve your worst piece by default, unless the coup-de-grace can be executed.

and on a personal level it sounds as though you should do a little more study and play a few extra games just for fun, your mistakes or time trouble are not your opponent(s) ripping you off, try to handle that with aplomb, it will earn you respect which starts with the self.

Hope this helps

 You have to play a mixture of long games and fast games.  Try and play a certain set of fast games everyday for a while.  The key is to learn to think faster by playing with the clock.  Whenever i play long game with a certain opponent of mine who only plays slow chess I end up ahead of him by at least 15 minutes at the end of the game and he sometimes loses with time and I play good moves throughout the game, though I do make blunders on certain games we play and end up losing outright.  I do not know a good answer for getting rid of blunders.  They happen, however, I do know if you play speed chess in conjunction with slow chess you will start to think faster even in slow chess.  The exact number for how many games you need to play of speed chess per day for you will be different for me as I need to learn more about playing long games but I'm sure you could find the answer by trial and error.

It was my para-phrasing perhaps?

Any why do you disagree?
