It really is simple.
Play one touch chess in developing phase of the game.
That means every piece is move just once until every
other piece is developed.
Once fully developed then you can start playing chess.
First I pulled back my f4 London Bishop because I try not to
have unprotected pieces in the my position.
An auto re-action and a good tip not just for blitz chess.
Purdy, who has appeared on here in the past few days,
warns you very clearly about unprotected pieces.
Never leave or place a piece loose (unprotected)
without first looking for a possible fork or pin
and never see an enemy piece loose without doing the same.
He then adds in passing, "Strong players follow this rule intuitively...." 😏
Now happy with my position, I sent in the Knight.
My opponent had not castled so sacs on f7 were the first thing I looked at.
The 'combination' is very easy to see.
White to play.

Piece of cake. Should be seen by everyone reading this.
But apparently my moves 1-11 are very difficult to see and play.
Especially by players under 1400.
I'm constantly amazed at the amount of fanny about players do in the opening.
(Good players can do it because they know when the rules of thumb can be bent.)
It's very simple really, I did nothing clever from move 1 to 13 and the 'combo' is childs play.
Yes Black played a bad game (he should not have taken the Knight 14...0-0!)
but the point I want you to take away is I did nothing but develop and won.
Thread dated: 21st March.
If I find anymore games after this date with daft Queen sorties, pieces moving
3 or 4 times in the opening, uncastled Kings etc etc. Then I'll go potty.
Now get out there, play one-touch-chess and post me a brilliancy.
I'm White it was a 3 minute game played last week
