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.
