How many players included GM's even very strong GM's can be blaimed for the fact
that they where thinkng if you play that I play that missing all other moves.
Just because they had a certain combination in their mind.
missing a defensive move from the oponent?

But..
I agree that this is comming from positional forcing of play
But if you don't know better you keep on playing in this way.
And you never improve.

But if you get more positional knowledge you become wiser
Like many Gm's in their early days also where using there pawns instead of there
pieces not giving the oponent bigger chanches to find a counter attack
to get the same archievement.


But besides the tips I already gave here is an one
Many players sometimes calculate wrong just because in their mind they made
double moves for instance a rook is standing on a1 a knight on d5 a bischop on
b5 and a pawn on e3

Know the calculation comes Rook a1-a7 Knight e7 Pawn e4 Bischop takes c6 Rook
a7-a5 Bischop b5-e2
It is good to train at this
For instance write it down and later on play what you thought.
if you improve at this your tactical abilety increases.
