In this video, IM Kostya Kavutskiy is bringing to you the important topic of blunders in chess. Many chess players at the amateur level and even super GMs have played moves that were really bad. Such obviously wrong moves are called blunders. There are two different types of blunders that are handled in this video.
0:50 A tactical blunder is when you lose a significant amount of material like two pawns, a minor piece, a rook or a queen.
7:00 A strategic blunder is when you don’t lose material but you give up control of a very important square or you make a very unfavourable exchange. Basically, a strategic blunder is any move that really worsens your position without of course losing material.
12:51 There are several tips and techniques to avoid blunders in your games. The most important tips are:
1. Never relax in a game until the game is fully over. A lot of blunders are happening in positions where players think the game is over, either they are making an easy draw or they are completely winning.
2. Whenever a move is played, always look for the new squares that the moved piece is now controlling. In chess, every time a piece is moved, that piece will be controlling new squares.
3. Pay specific attention to pieces which are unprotected. If you keep in mind which pieces in the position are unprotected, or are not protected enough, or seem vulnerable, this will allow you to not only avoid a lot of blunders, but you will also be able to spot a lot of tactics for yourself by exploiting your opponent’s mistakes.

This channel is criminally underrated. Insights from it are helping me (an intermediate-advanced player) outline paths and plans for concrete improvement. 10/10 will be sharing with my students.

I like this video, but but it does not address my main blunder problem, which is, in my 10 minute games, how I can avoid blunders and not lose on time. Right now, in almost all my games, I find myself going into an endgame with a significant material and positional advantage, but still losing on time.

@favy5501 3 года назад

dont play 10 minute games and problem is solved ;)

@Life-Sky 3 года назад

You should check your times per move; In lichess you can see your time management through the game and try to find the situations/moves that you spend the most time on. For example by practicing simple tactics you will be able to spot them instantly in games, then see some videos on openings to know what to play from the beginning and middlegame guides on that opening to know what are the ideas to look for in that position. >Doing Puzzle Storm and quick tactics will help you spot the basic patterns quickly; Look for checks, mate threats and captures, in that order of priority. The more you practice, the faster you will recognise certain patters and tactical motifs (weak king, undefended pieces, etc) >Play only a few openings because that will help you know what to do positionally, you will feel more comfortable having faced similiar situations/moves before, going through a middlegame were you already know the main ideas. >Have some "mantra" or general rules to find moves: -In the opening develop kingside and castle quickly. -Protect my pieces. - If short on space create a pawn break -If opponent weak king then open the position -If opponent stuck then improve my pieces - If don't know what to do then move a Knight >>forward

Hey can u guide me how to start watching videos on your channel should I go playlist wise or random I am new to chess.....

@git-tauseef 3 года назад

I asked for guidance not likes n highlights😅🙏

@Chessfactor 3 года назад

Basically that is a very good question and we are happy to give some recommendations. If you're really new to chess, then we recommend to work through our Elementary Path on our website. Our website is completely for free and besides instructive videos, we also have training exercises available to the video topics. After completing the Elementary Path, you can move on with the Beginner Path. For the near future, we will organize/assign our playlists on the channel to different rating levels so that it is more clear for the users what to learn or focus on. If you're really interested in learning specific topics like the French Defense opening, then please check our playlists. Hope that helps you further. Any case of any questions feel free to message us and we're happy to assist. Take care!

some months ago i started to play officialy OTB and its incredible the amount of blunders i commit in winning positions, because of that relax

@NinjaSquirreI 6 месяцев назад

Most players play online blitz or rapid. What good is the advice to do a blundercheck, if it takes 20 seconds to do it? You don't have 20 seconds every move to spend on blunderchecking.

@andr333y 3 года назад

I blunder too much, thank you for your help

@Chessfactor 3 года назад

Let's hope that you now blunder less 😉

@FredPlanatia 2 года назад

Hi Kostya, thanks again for a wonderful lesson with some interesting examples to illustrate your points. I have a simple question. How does one ingrain these habits? I know what I should be doing but i forget them when i am playing. Is there a method you know for making them become a reflexive habit?

@Aaron-nl9ji 2 года назад

By consciously remembering those lessons. There's no shortcut to success. Use game reports and analysis to see what u could have done to improve ur game

@human7491 Год назад

Play slowly, less emotionally, and with these guidelines in mind. Most importantly, analyze your games.

@justsomeboyprobablydressed9579 11 месяцев назад

The funny thing is that all those grandmaster players are certainly aware of all the advice and tips in this video, and yet they still blundered.

@apaatsio 2 года назад

In the last example (17:00), why is black "forced to resign"? After white takes either the bishop or the knight, black will be only one piece behind. Is it that devastating? (FWIW, I'm a total beginner in chess.)

@Simon-jg4qf Год назад

Well technically black isnt 'forced' to resign. Usually in beginner games where blunders happen frequently, you wouldn't resign because you could just hope the other player blunders. But at an advanced level where blunders are much less likely to happen, being one piece behind makes a very big difference. You will have a harder time protecting pieces and attacking. Think back to the counting material lesson.

@onnoquinten2944 Год назад

I coach beginners up to round 1500 as a 2000 player and they often think stuff like this is too simple, like they need some secret juice to get good. Master the basics.

@isseshafeeg3899 7 месяцев назад

@muhammadmasri5238 2 года назад

i dont need examples on blunder. i have all of those in my own games. how do i prevent it though

@mangasprai Год назад

wow the "plan" blunder is so hard to see on the fly...

@ragnarlothbrok367 Год назад

i dont have a minute to do blunder checks in blitz, only way would be thinking faster but its not possible to change your brain like that

@shaileshbhat6131 3 года назад

I don't think anyone is going to Blunder less by watching a video.

@Chessfactor 3 года назад

Basically you're right! However, we just wanted to make the viewers aware that there are tips and techniques that can be applied so that they make less mistakes in certain situations.

@shaileshbhat6131 3 года назад

@@Chessfactor I think most Blunders happens when a player forgets to look for forcing options, So a better way should be to teach player importance of looking for forcing moves( Checks, Captures & threats). Also thinking of opponent's last move & Undefended pieces will help reduce Blunders.

@belpack8989 3 года назад

I just played two games yesterday where I felt I had won, then relaxed a bit and ended up losing them both. So that first tip really hit home for me. It should be just a matter of keeping it in mind.
