How do I stop making non obvious blunders?

I do, but I struggle seeing a couple moves ahead.. I don't give up too many obvious hanging pieces blunders... I double check my opponents threats but miscalculate several move trades, and whatnot.

my average depth if thought is probably like 6 or 7 my most depth is 30 or above

I checked your last 5 or 6 losses.

your errors are obvious. For example, you missed mate in 1, you moved pieces a second time before developing all your pieces and castling, you allowed your opponent to weaken your pawn structure by doubling your pawns, you give away free pieces, you don’t take free pawns, and so on. These are all beginner’s errors.

my advice is to work on basic chess principles Also, I advise playing slow time controls and not play blitz or rapid until you have learned the basics. You are not losing because of 3-move calculation errors.

If you struggle to see just a couple of moves ahead that is what you need to focus on. It is called calculation and it is the single most important skill without which you are doomed.

I've found that most "non-obvious" blunders tend to be positional in nature. Weak moves that allow your opponent to improve their position way faster than you can. Of course, long-term plans to win a piece do happen, but for the most part the less obvious mistakes tend to be failure to recognize how to avoid your opponent getting a good position.

One problem I often run into is stopping outposts. Suddenly my opponent's knight is in a very uncomfortable position and I don't know what to do. I also suck at getting outposts myself. Thus, learning how to strategically trade pieces (especially when to do an exchange sac) in order to get a secure outpost, and how to avoid allowing good outpost spaces, is something I hope to get better at soon. Knowing when exchange sacrifices are good in general is also something I've been trying to improve upon.

Stop making blunders their you go hope you found that helpfu.... JK always look what does my opp want to do

Thanks for the responses... Mikewier, yeah I have many other problems I'm sure. Appreciate the input.. I really don't have a coach or the means to have one, so it's hard figuring out my weaknesses. French, yes positional chess is what I need work on.. any tips on how to do so besides just doing puzzles? Books? Study guides? Anything free or low cost preferred. Cassian, lol yeah not blundering. It's hit or miss for me, I play a lot more on Lichess. I don't seem to have many no blunder games over there so I'm definitely doing something wrong.

I think the best thing to do is to practice your chess vision, this can

I guess that 6,7 and 30 are milliseconds, no?

Always analyze your games afterwards. You should know your weaknesses even without a coach.

This is your last loss against a human and here you resigned. But while yes you are in a bad position white still has many problems to solve after 19. ... Nxe5.

P.s.: Ooops your SECOND last lost game. I dont understand why you already resigned in your last game either though. Even if the position is more hopeless than the one above.

Before you make a move, think about the moves your opponent will make in response. I typically try to think about their next two or three moves.

For instance, if I move my knight to a square, will my opponent kick it away with a pawn, if so, where will my knight go next. Am I going to get it trapped?

Or, my opponent just placed their queen on a diagonal that points to my king. Are they threatening checkmate? How to I avoid it?

There are so many scenarios. Puzzles helped me with seeing moves ahead and visualizing lines.

Thanks Marias, I'm not sure what to look for when analysing quite honestly... I do have an issue with prematurely resigning when I thought there's no coming back from the position, but I honestly can't see the correct move there.😭 Isolatedpush.. do you think actually verbally saying out loud the threats of my opponent would help? This is something I've been thinking about, but I feel silly doing it. Thinking 2 or 3 moves is tough for me unless the move is obvious, but I was thinking if I say it out loud, I might be able to have better clarity? I honestly don't know.

Maybe someone higher ranked could friend me on here and possibly play a couple unranked 10 min games with me?

You don’t need a coach. There are basic principles that you need to learn before moving on to more advanced concepts.

Try this. For your next 100 games, concentrate on developing each piece, castling, connecting your rooks, and moving your rooks to the central files that are or are about to become open. See if you can do this before you move a developed piece a second time (unless a piece is attacked and you have to move it).

if you can do this, you will have a playable position. And you will likely have a better position than your opponent, who will probably not have done the same.

Then, when you consider middle game plans, you will be better off than your opponent.

Do this for as long as necessary for this to start to feel comfortable. Then, after learning basic opening principles, you can move on to middle game planning.

Okay Mike, I'll try that.

I have two quick tips that I think will help you greatly.

1. Take note and pay close attention to any opponent piece which is on the same rank/file (for rooks) or diagonal (for bishops) as one of your pieces, especially your higher value pieces. Even if there are other pawns/pieces in the way right now, the board can open up and you’ll be in trouble. This doesn’t mean that if the bishop moves onto the same diagonal as your Queen, blocked by their pawn and your knight, you need to move the Queen out of the way immediately, but you should be aware that if their pawn captures/pushes your knight will now be pinned. And if that knight was the only piece guarding something… now that piece is unguarded. If you are able to do this and spot which of your opponents pieces are primed to see your targets, it should immediately improve your tactical vision.

2. Avoid loose pieces where possible, be very aware of loose pieces when you can’t avoid them. If your opponent hangs a knight, but your bishop has to wander far into enemy territory to get it, you’ll be up a knight but your bishop will be loose (undefended/poorly defended). If you can bring it home right away (your opponent doesn’t pose a more pressing problem, or you have an even better move), then do it. If you can’t bring it back home, then you should be paying close attention to that bishop, lest you lose it to some kind of fork or other tactic and let your opponent right back into the game.

In both cases, the idea is to minimize tactical risk to yourself, meaning that you are less susceptible to tactical blunders in the first place.

Good luck to you, let me know how it goes.

Knowing the different tactics will help you see combinations easier so when the game review mentions a tactic or anything you're not familiar with read up on it. When your king is safe and you're starting the middlegame it's all about tactics. Many novice players will not notice they have set up an absolute pin on their own queen so always be on the look out for that.

Play slower time controls like 3+ day games so you can put as much time as you need in to the move without being rushed. It's like learning a melody on a piano and is much easier to absorb and repeat than it would be if the same melody was being played at a faster tempo. You can still learn from rapid and blitz but it will be much harder.

Hypermodernism concepts like pawn chains, prophylaxis and knight outposts are important. It all adds to your armoury and helps you to know what to look out for.

The more games you play the more it will forge your chess brain and make it easier for you to find candidate moves and avoid blunders. Organising your thoughts especially against the clock is the hardest part and it only improves with practice which is why daily games are so useful at improving your board vision and pattern recognition. Making your own checklist can help and I used to have one mainly to remind me to look out for enemy pawn threats.

If you blunder always play on because your opponent may blunder and it will give you exposure to endgames. When your opponent goes ahead the pressure is on them to keep that lead and turn it in to a win so fight to the bitter end. Make them work for it and you could end up with a draw. I've stalemated won games and it's infuriating but it's all experience. I'm much less likely to do it now.
