Got into the game a lot last semester. I'm even trying to develop a strat called "blitz" that emphasizes ruining defensive formations before pieces are optimized. This kind of play as i've noticed hinges on people making mistakes when face with pressure on their better pieces.
I haven't been able to win a whole lot at the game. I can beat people online and halfway decent players on campus, but when I go to Chess club, i'm like the Oakland Raiders when I play the better members.
Any tips for how to improve? It seems that once I make one mistake or overlook one thing, it all goes downhill from there.
