This episode is our Season 6 finale. We'll be taking a short break and will return with Season 7 on April 14, 2024. This week, we discuss ten common reasons why players at the club level lose games:
1 - Non-processing
2 - Rushing against odd opening moves
3 - Neglecting development/premature attacks
4 - Misplaying castling
5 - Rook posing
6 - Too much French pastry
7 - Trading down to a losing King and pawn ending
8 - Trying too hard to win
9 - Being cavalier against lower-rated opponents
10 - Poor clock management
