Seeking for tips to reduce blunders.

Hi everyone,

I'm reaching out because I'm feeling a little stuck in my chess improvement lately. My accuracy rating is usually between 75-85, which isn't terrible, but I keep finding myself getting outplayed by my opponents.

The main problem seems to be that I'm making one or two big blunders every game. These mistakes really cost me the advantage, and I end up losing positions that I should have been able to win.  

I'm looking for some tips on how to improve my chess consistency and avoid these blunders.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you, Cheers!

Thanks

Where's profile?

You can train your brain to recognize blunders with several effective exercises that will definitely help:

• solving puzzles
• puzzle rush
• practicing reversed tactics
• learning the 7 basic tactics
• recognizing tactical motifs
• visualizing positions
• studying compositions
• playing blindfold chess

There is a FREE workbook with those exercises available at: https://stopmakingblunders.matbobula.com/ and the YouTube series dedicated to the whole topic: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRvADDu6xjmngaGTnQIfd8l-akr6kCshD

This might not help reduce blunders but antichess (like on lichess) is good practice since you have to find the worst most forcing moves possible

I understand your point, but with antichess, it's important to proceed cautiously because it can potentially reinforce habits that might not be beneficial in regular chess games. That's why it's generally recommended to focus on exercises that cultivate good habits, such as the ones I mentioned earlier.

True you have to be careful not to get into the bad habits
