To not blunder, don't blunder. Thats a good system. I should apply it to stop blundering.
How to not blunder? When you do drugs, don't drink and drive.
No wait... Is that right?
No, it's when you drink, don't drive and do drugs....I think...
No wait, it's...
If you split infinity, wouldn't you still get infinity?
Actually you are correct. It's kind of like doing long division while driving on drugs.
If you start spilling infinity, can you stop?
Once you're done accessing the situation, try assessing it.
Lasker said when you see a good move look for a better one. I look forward to the day I see a good move.
how about doing all of that, and go that extra bit and see what an opponent might miss. I believe it is here were games are won below 30moves.
How to be a GM:
- play good moves
-accept early draw offers
I'm a mathematician/statistician by trade, and I have formulated, tested, and confirmed the following hypothesis: "The less I play, the less I blunder."
Now before you all start chasing me in the streets for such heresy, please remember that even Galileo had a few oddball ideas that were later found to be true.
This one I haven't formally tested yet, but my gut tells me it has promise: "The less I play the less I lose."

Okay, I just can't remain out of this discussion. First, it seems there are, as usual, differences of opinion as to what a blunder really is. Of all the definitions in the MAC dictionary, I think this one fits a blunder made in chess best: move clumsily or as if unable to see : we were blundering around in the darkness.
I think this topic has been interesting, and humous, at times.
"I think this ... has been ... humous ..."
Humous .. well I don't think I've ever been called that before. Is that good? My son's gastroenterologist once told me it was very good, but he spends most of his time asking about kids' poop and I worry about his perspective.

One of my short comings is leaving out letters and words as I write. It can be humorous at times. Hey, if I can give someone a laugh in this troubling world it can't be all bad to blunder once in a while.
- access the situation
-check each and every one of your peices to see if they are under attack
- before you move, think, 'if i move here, what can my opponent do to me?'
