Playing in another chess tournament this weekend. Sometimes I use an idea list to keep track of the things I need to specifically improve on. Based on studying my recent games and, in particular, losses, there are several things I have to watch out for.
I've been working on all of these items but writing it down like this will hopefully hold me a bit more accountable.

1. Time Pressure
0
I tend to use too much time on moves that should just be intuitive. Sometimes if there are 2 or 3 alternatives that seem equally good I spend too much time thinking about what is best.
But then i get into time pressure when I REALLY need the time. Like to calculate a specific forcing variation.
