Placing your opponent in check quickly is an often successful approach to blitz chess.  But if ahead on pieces near the end of the game, repeatedly putting the opponent in check can simply waste valuable time which could instead be used to develop a path to victory by [[checkmate]].

Quick algorithms are helpful to manage time.  When the other side moves, quickly review:
 +
* does their move jeopardize, directly or indirectly, one's king or queen
 +
* did they blunder in their move such that their piece can be captured
 +
* can you move a piece out of jeopardy by placing the other side in check, or jeopardizing one of their pieces?
