How to stop blundering?

1️⃣ Slow Down: Take your time and double-check your moves to avoid careless mistakes.
2️⃣ Look for Checks, Captures, and Threats: Scan for immediate threats to prevent falling into tactical traps.
3️⃣ Train Your Tactical Vision: Solve puzzles regularly to sharpen your ability to spot game tactics.
4️⃣ Develop Good Habits: Stick to strong fundamentals to reduce the chances of errors.
5️⃣ Review Your Games: Analyze mistakes to understand and improve.

I missed the winning plan in the position on the board where I played against IM Dudukovic with white pieces!
Can you figure out the idea of how white is winning?
This is one of the first positions that I show to my students if they have a problem with calculation!

The last move of black was Bf5 - white is on the move! :)

See you on the chess board!
