Help with blundering pieces

Does anyone know of any lessons or drills that help with board vision or more specifically help players that are having trouble blundering pieces?

Thanks

Look before you leap. It's all there right before you very eyes..more chess is best. Just play slow time chess.

Here's a quick video that will help you not only stop blundering, but also help you on your journey in getting over 1000 rating.

The premise is simple, ask yourself 2 simple questions after each and everyone one of your opponent's moves.

1. What is my opponent doing and make sure to double check, triple check as you are improving. You can stop this when you are much more experienced.

2. Is my move safe. Take a quick glance over the entire board and ask if the move you want to make is safe or not.

How to Stop Blundering

There are different levels of blundering a piece.

One is when you simply move a piece to a square where it is undefended and can be taken. The remedy for that is, as stated above, learning to check before every move if there is any direct harm threatened to the piece. And the best way to develop that "vision" is simply to play game after game with that thorough pre-move check.

The second type is where you don't move the piece onto a square where it can be directly captured, but you move it to a square where it can be captured through a tactic. The best way to learn to avoid those is by doing tons and tons of tactics puzzles to develop your tactical vision and recognition.

Thanks for all the advice.  I started to double check my position before every move, but I think i've just been slacking on it recently.  I'll start making a point to do it.

1. first try to find out what your opponent is doing; e.g tactics, plans
2. then look at forcing moves (which are checks, captures, and threats)
3. Improve vision here!
