Blunders!

Submitted by carlos_b on Fri, 10/09/2009 at 5:45pm.

I hate losing because of a blunder, especially when I have worked hard to gain a game-winning advantage.

If I look at all the games I play though, as often as I lose because of my blunders, I win because of my opponents' blunders.

There must be some technique to avoid blunders. And it ain't about tactics or strategy. All advice is welcome.

Since making this post I have not made so many blunders. I do still make the odd one though.

Your desire to reduce blunders will be achieved if you continue playing matches in tournament
