moving too fast .

i know the feeling. after playing only bullet and sometimes blitz games i couldn't play 15 or even 10 minute games because i thought i had to move quickly. but after losing a lot of games because of silly moves i thought to myself "this is ridiculous, i'm better than that." and since then i try to concentrate on every move. i would suggest you play in 15|10 mode and take your hand off the mouse after making a move. thus your mind calms down and your potential to calculate positions increases.

analysis of a position takes WORK. it's much easier to make any move ,rather than searching for the best move.if you want to play chess for fun-without work. do so -but don't complain. if you want to improve - do the work-take the time.

        Try online chess here. You can have anything from one day to three weeks a move. It's certainly not difficult, or "near impossible" to find opponents.

Well, I really thought that NN 73 would do the trick; I'm not sure what else I can suggest. I'd think if you were striving to play real chess (i.e., coming up with candidate moves and looking for checks, captures, and threats for the three plies required for avoiding hope chess), then you'd be complaining about not having enough time to do all of the needed work every move.

At any rate, I wish you luck solving your problem.

Thanks . When I play online games i'm alot better at analyzing but a common problem I have is feeling like my analysis is wrong because of my rating and then not coming up with a plan and playing bad moves . When in a middlegame with no obvious plan I am oblivious and I cant find anything when there are no obvious imbalances . Actually I will post a position where I had no clue what to do and see if any of you can help me so i can  be constructive instead of complaining .

That seems like a reasonable move in this position, although you didn't say which rook you moved. (Which one to move, hmm, maybe think about that for a few seconds?)

Some other things to think about: Are all of my pieces currently safe? Are there any potentially loose pieces? (The c5 bishop and e5 pawn could potentially become loose if you're not careful.) What other candidate moves do I have other than R?d8? For any of my candidate moves, what are the reasonable candidate moves of my opponent, and can I safely meet any threats generated by his response candidate moves?

You get the idea. Those are the kind of thoughts that should be going through your mind on every move. One good general rule is that if you can't see a plan to follow or a tactic to exploit, just ask yourself what your worst placed piece is, and can you move it to a better square?

I'd be happy to play a slow game with you, a 45/45 or even 90/60. The best way to slow down is to practice taking your time.

i move fast sometimes and i lose on the board

time is bad

in the old days, they did not have chess clocks

and played until the other person lost or snored
