Blundering

I keep blundering, and its been my biggest weakness, anyone have any suggestions on how to stop?

Try practicing by looking at a position in a correspondence/unlimited game, picking a move, (without doing it) walking away for a few minutes, coming back, and trying again. Sometimes thinking about the position in two separate thinks helps me avoid blunders. Also, make sure that you take in the WHOLE board when moving (my biggest problem). As you practice, you should be able to get faster. Just an idea...

Play slower games at least 5+0. Stick to one time control. Take your time ca. 5 seconds for each move.

@ya_boy_Agent I have the exact same problem... It makes me feel better someone else does too :)

xD @seanysean

Plan A - Quit chess

Plan B - depending on what kind of blunders you're talking about, you could just calculate different variations deeper, but if you're talking about missing simple moves, thats more difficult to fix, its all about increasing ur sense of danger in certain positions. Usually if there are a lot of pieces crowded in a certain area, your sense of danger should be actively looking for threats for ex.

I think it is useful to check if a move is safe before making it.

@ya_boy_Agent1 "I keep blundering"

Your classic chess rating is 2218. I wish I had your problems. I'm permanently stuck in the 1900's.

@JiangoFetti I like plan B better than A :D
@BobC lol
