The problem here is common, I mean for many players, and it's fault of design.
No. If a player choses to not observe and think, fine, than he has to live with the consequences.
Your statement would make chess a game with "fault of design" just because players know they can change a pawn into a queen reaching the back rang of the enemy but noone took the players hand in a move losing just another pawn and hindered him doing so.
