This video showcases instructive positions where we must avoid blunders. We discuss the correct thought process for reducing errors, avoiding confirmation bias, and wishful thinking.
Blumenfeld, a Soviet chess player and psychologist, offered valuable advice on blunder prevention: "Before making a move, examine the position one final time with the eye of a patzer." He also recommended writing down the intended move before executing it, a practice no longer permitted under FIDE rules. However, players can adhere to this principle by substituting the move with the opponent's clock time, as allowed by FIDE. This fosters the habit of always conducting a final blunder check.
Furthermore, I believe that we tend to make more blunders when presented with pawn-grabbing opportunities. This notion prompted me to create my recent Chessable course. Additionally, pawn moves often escape detection during blunder checks, as illustrated by several examples in this video.
