How do you stop a blunder error?
Here are three tips to help you avoid those game-changing blunders:
- Before moving, do a “tactics check”. Once you have decided on the move you want to play, visualize it being played on the board.
- Find “the threat” behind your opponent’s move.
- Make as few assumptions as possible.
How do I improve my blitz?
IMO, the best way to improve at blitz in a hurry is to play the same junk openings, over and over, and over the course of several weeks, REALLY begin to internalize the recurring tactics. Play something like a BDG heavy repertoire as white… maybe a BDG/Tromp combo, which should cover 90\% of games you start as white.
Why do I keep getting blunders in chess?
In chess, a blunder is a critically bad move. It is usually caused by some tactical oversight, whether it be from time trouble, overconfidence or carelessness. Especially among amateur and novice players, blunders often occur because of a faulty thought process where they do not consider the opponent’s forcing moves .

What is an inaccuracy in chess?
An inaccuracy is something you want to avoid. A mistake is something you really want to avoid. A blunder is something you really, really want to avoid.
Is blitz chess addictive?
You are forced to attack, defend, and then move pieces in wild, unpredictable manners which really puts the pain on your slow chess playing skills. Playing blitz chess is like smoking (except for the fact that smoking can give you lung cancer or cancer in general. Chess cannot do that to you) it is an addiction.
How do you reduce blunders in chess?
1. Double check your moves. The single most effective way for reducing the number of blunders in your games is double checking the moves. It may sound obvious, but surprisingly many players do not do that.
What is the best way to improve my chess skills?
Here’s an interesting alternative. Play bullet chess. Bullet chess is all about seeing your opponents threats and dumb blunders. It helps you familiarize with the pieces and how they move and helps you to avoid blunders and see threats quickly. Bullet also improves your ability to cope in time pressure, and that is where most blunders happen.
Are there any obvious moves at chess that do not need thinking?
There are no obvious moves at chess that do not need to be thought about. The sooner you realize it, the less blunders you will commit. If your instinctual move problem is a serious one, I recommend one method that is typically used to train young players.
Does bullet chess really improve your chess skills?
Bullet also improves your ability to cope in time pressure, and that is where most blunders happen. Of course, bullet chess should not be the main means of improvement, but it does improve one’s abilities during time pressure.
