Each move it is useful to quickly ask yourself:  how many moves am I away from checkmating the other side, or being checkmated?  In [[blitz chess]] where surprise checkmates can happen often, this is a useful part of one's algorithm.  It is easy to overlook in blitz chess the opportunities for checkmating the other side while the other side attacks.
