Blundering pieces and pawns is by far the number 1 reason people have lower ratings like around 1300-1500. Part of it is not calculating out lines, if you are not calculating out lines to about 5 plys, that is a problem. Also, constantly look for loose pieces of both your own and your opponent. And look for type 2 loose peices, a piece that is defended once and attack once. Finally, it helps a lot to do tactics and combinations puzzles and also look at your games afterword and see all the missed tactical opportunites on both side. Until you become a pretty good tactical player, you will never increase your rating, because it is so common to blunder and it ends the game pretty much on the spot.

That “putting your time to good use” is like my motto when playing chess. Since I always play 30-minute games, I almost always spend the entire game during the middlegame, just to make sure I don’t blunder. Many people doesn’t seem to realize this, as I’ve had opponents (which probably are used to blitz/bullet) who would chat me with “zzz” or “???” when I haven’t made a move for a few minutes, which to me was really weird and annoying. Like bro, why’d you even pick to play a 30-minute game if you’ll just blitz moves and expect that your opponent would do the same.

3:00 There is 0-0-0 here actually because of Qe4! Escaping the skewer with a pin, and if black tries f5?! to deflect the queen we can escape the deflection with Qd5+ using the newly opened diagonal. Then after the king moves, the rook escapes too
