    How many times have I made a move to only notice then some weakness I
    have created or allowed.

    I'm including in my routine a good survey of the board after each move
    so that I make sure I don't leave gaping blunders. This is really good
    and maybe I will get 1500 soon.

    This seems almost necessary, although I'm doubly angry now when a
    blunder actually gets through.

    Some would say every move creates a potential weakness...
    a problem only arises if your opponent spots it!

    Good luck.
