Dear Forum,
unfortunately I am unable to find my old threat: "How to stabilize your play."
Still I want to give a quick update.
I asked how I can improve my play and avoid blunders and people suggested that I should play longer games and spend time figuring out calculations - and it worked!
My rating increased - a lot! (about 50 points?)
I also just today played my second *perfect* game.

Well... it is not perfect, but I made no mistakes or inaccuracies (according to the engine) - and I probably would have quit the game if the opponent had not suggested sacrificing my bishop. :D
It really helped spending my time thinking about positions and using the shift+right click function and making marks on the board.
All in all: Taking your time playing plus playing stronger oppositions makes a difference and improves your play.
