How to win at chess

Play games with no mistakes and no blunders.

If you play without making mistakes, you will win a lot of games.

5 great moves are no compensation for one terrible move.  If you want to get better, stop making mistakes. 

I just won a game with no mistakes or blunders.  I thought to myself, spread the word about how winning is so easy when you don't make mistakes!

Those who do not get what I am saying, do not get it.

 

So far only people who do not get it have responded.

People ask how to get better, make fewer mistakes!

In terms of the post-game analysis? Keeping the mistakes and blunders at 0 is certainly a goal of mine too. I think that's got a lot to do with board vision?

Saying don't make mistakes implies everyone knows what moves in what positions are mistakes 

This is the equivalent of saying "How to do a kick flip. 1. get on your skateboard. 2. Do a kick flip."

I'm sure if we lose at our ratings then by definition we made lots of mistakes. I ran your last game through analysis and it does give some mistakes. But I am guessing it's just lots of passive moves that ended up collapsing your position.

He was not being serious... he was sarcastic when he said it made him not lose.

He literally said,"I haven't lost a single game yet".I am just informing others that what he said is not true because he did lose many times.

Avatar of nTzT

He was joking about it because the advice of the thread isn't actually very helpful.
