My only tip is take your time, try taking a bit more time in stuff like rapid to make good moves.

Avatar of BloonsGod95024

That way, you see even more move possibilities.

1. When it's your turn to move...

- Look for checks. If none of them are good/helpful, look for threats on other pieces.

- If none of those threats are good, try to make a useless piece less useless.

- If you can't do that...that's a problem.

2. Before doing your move, check to see if anything is left hanging when you do.

The most common blunder is one that leaves a piece open to being captured; the problem is, a brilliant move does that too, albeit intentionally.

If you see that your move will leave a piece hanging, don't immediately discount the move. There's a 99% chance that it's bad and you shouldn't do it, but there's always the 1% chance that it's a brilliant sacrifice.

3. When it's your turn, look for any sacrifices you can do.

This seems stupid, but sacrifices are what get you brilliants. There's always a chance that one of those "blunders" you've found could actually be something amazing.

4. Always assume that your opponent will play the best move.

Playing moves in hopes that your opponent does what you want them to do is a surefire way to get absolutely destroyed; you'll walk right into blunders that could have been easily averted. Remember: your opponent wants to win just as much as you do.

5. Analyze your blunders.

Understand why the move was bad and make a mental note to avoid doing that if a similar situation arises. Eventually you'll run into something similar, and you'll know exactly what not to do.

6. Just because you don't make blunders, doesn't mean you won't lose. 

Mistakes add up. Simple as that. Don't just avoid blunders; avoid question-mark inducing moves in general. Aim for the fewest number of question marks possible.

Looking at your most recent games, your blunders are as follows.

1. 3...h6

You protected your queen...from a knight. Instead of moving it away. And then you didn't take your opponent's queen when they blundered theirs back.

2. 13...c5

You missed a free bishop and allowed yours to be lost. Then, instead of taking the bishop with your king, you moved it away. (Idk why the game wants you to take the knight with the rook...I'm going to say the engine is wrong there.)

3. 23...Rd1+

You had the right idea...only to promptly blunder your rook, instead of taking your opponent's.

4. 29...Nxc5

Gives away a free knight.

5. 45...Nc7

Again, this gives away a free knight.

I think this is all pretty self-explanatory. You are not good at recognizing that certain pieces have different values; your ability to jump on hanging pieces, and recognize when your pieces are hanging, is similarly poor.

Start going through this website's lessons so you can figure things out.

This is your last lost game:

https://www.chess.com/game/live/126240550767?username=nickolepicko

It's a 30-minute game. You banged out 19 completely random moves in 2 minutes (???), blundering away all your pieces.

This is the opposite of what the advice was.

I'm thinking of making a form that confirm a move is good. The form is only used while playing with a bot. I think if you regularly check it you probably get used to recheck. But I haven't finish the form because there was too much to provide in it

Avatar of c124875

I mean like using a chess bot and the form to practice so that you don't blunder and get better at chess

Here is a good blunder check, think of it after every move:
Am I hanging any pieces?
Am I blundering checkmate?
If I am trading, will my opponent win material?
If my opponent has any checks, captures or threats, can I defend?
*What would I do if I were my opponent?*

Your biggest blunder is abandoning games. You will be banned if you do not stop it.

@borovicka75 ?

I believe that continuous abandoning games is violating chess.com fair play policy. Let Mr. Stahl correct me if i am wrong.
