    The "drive it off a cliff" metaphor is great. My (1,200ish ELO) recent blind spot I'm working to fix in my games is the: "hmm, I don't love any of my move possibilities, especially none of these three or four options I've been mulling for the last 15 seconds, I think this other move looks good" and I just play it without noticing a bishop on the other end of the board can just capture that piece -- or something similar. And then the game falls apart
