Hello fellow chess players,

I am new to blogging but the main thing is I want to help you Improve. For the next foreseeable future I will be making Blogs daily to help you improve whether you just started or play for fun or are experienced.

Playing on chess.com I have always blundered a lot. I can't explain it. I just see ghosts. (Things that aren't there.) This blog is to help those who blunder a lot and myself, but always remember, even super GMs blunder, only engines are perfect.

1. Look for hanging pieces or pieces that are overworked

2. Do puzzles religiously

3. Know you basic tactics (pins, skewers, forks)

4. Play longer time controls

5. Analyze your games to see what you missed. Ask your coach or a higher rated person to help you.

6. go through middlegame books to help cure positional blunder (I suggest Herman Grooten's books)

7. If you are above 1400 Rapid chess.com aim for 3200 puzzle rating or higher on chess.com if below aim for 2600 or higher.

8. Experiment with different openings to see which fit you the best.

9. go through endgame books to cure endgame mistakes focus on Rook and pawn because they are the most common endgames.

10. Play almost as much as you practice to get more experience with not blundering.

Thankyou for reding this. I hope this helps you in your chess career.
