Cannot get rid of making blunders

In other words, memorise best moves in certain situations with zero context. Noted. This is why I'm so fricking sick of chess, and why I have only played against bots for the last four months.

#19: The first thing you need to be able to do is count points. Pawn=1, Knight=3, Bishop=3, Rook=5, Queen=9. Blunder checking is about ensuring that you don't go down a path where you inevitably concede material which you could've avoided.

#21: Memorising moves won't help you with blunder checking. You need to be able to calculate forwards from the current position.

I'm done arguing here, cause it's obvious my point will never get across. I'm out, before I smash something or say something I regret.

#23: You are getting your point across. We understand your frustration and we're trying to help. What we're trying to teach you isn't impossible to learn. It's just difficult. Blunder checking is a problem for all of us. Every human Chess player makes blunders. The goal is to make them less common and less severe.

You're not memorizing moves, but patterns.

For example, all four positions below have the same pattern (knight fork). Also, I'm not sure how playing bots is any different from playing people, if you're talking about being sick of meaningless memorization.

Wrong.

If we didn’t blunder, chess would be boring and possibly pointless.
As we improve, the blunders become less dramatic. Once we reach a higher level (not me), blunders become inaccuracies. At master level, a seasoned player can force you into inaccuracy hence gaining the upper hand.
