Imagine playing chess without blundering…

Without those painful and heartbreaking moments, without stupid mistakes that ruin our well-played games, and without unbelievable mistakes that stop us from winning a tournament… 

And now, also imagine, how much higher your rating would be if you never blundered…
+200 points more than you have now? Maybe +300?

Sounds like a paradise, right? ...

See more

And what if you still sometimes blunder but reduce them up to 10 times? :)
Still, your rating would be much-much higher than now! Is it really possible to reduce blunders up to 10 times? Yes! And you’ll see soon it yourself! 

A few words about the table of content. 

Step 1.
What blunder really is
Many chess players get confused and don’t know the difference between mistake and blunder.
We’ll have a clear definition, so even online chess platforms will not confuse you.

Step 2. 
Reasons behind blunders
In order to avoid blunders, at first, we should understand the reasons, why they happen.
We’ll find out all the obvious and hidden reasons behind blunders, one-by-one,

Step 3.
Practical solutions
You’ll learn what are the different practical solutions for each of them and how to play chess in hyperfocused mode, notice opponents’ threats, how to avoid impulsive moves and much more…

Step 4. 
After you’ve blundered…
Afterall, we’re humans, and we all can blunder.
How to keep the mood and keep fighting?
GM Avetik will share with you 3 detailed steps on what to do after blundering, how to recover fast and continue fighting.

Step 5.
Practice
While the course will be very interactive, in the end anyway we’ll have quizzes and tests to strengthen your knowledge and minimize the chances of blunders. 

Step 6. 
Downloadable slides and PDF
During the course, on the slide one-by-one we’ll add reasons and solutions next to each kind of blunder. There will be also many rules, and so you can remember them easily, in the attachment, you’ll be able to download the files and keep them with you. 

Step 7.
Send us a cake
If that doesn’t work, sue GM Avetik :D
And when you’ll see how much you’ve reduced your blunders, and how much you’ve raised your rating, send us a cake or write a review sharing your success story.

Good luck!

  • The main reasons behind blunders
  • Solutions for preventing all of them

Great course. Appreciate your dedication to the topic that everyone makes mistakes. The quote that I like on this: "Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results". I treat it as it is okay to make mistakes, but it is very important to do your best to avoid them in the future.

Exactly, Pavel! Thanks!

My biggest chess blunder was not to buy a ChessMood lifetime membership when it was available at half price. It's time to freeze and wait for other opportunities.

This course is good. When I was a member of the chess club at university eight years ago, I was severely scolded for blunder, and I was afraid of blunder. However, I felt a little better when I learned that even GMs make unbelievable blunders. It's best not to make blunders, but I think it's most important not to look away to blunders, but to analyze the cause, deal with it, and not make the same blunders again. This is a topic that can be applied not only to chess but to life in general, and I would like to make use of it. Thank you Mr.Avetik.

This course in unvaluable! It was heart warming to see all the examples of blunders by the best players! Just that alone reduced my tilt and frustration when I blunder by 90%. All the problems and tools to overcome it are very useful! I whish I had access to this content long ago. Thank you so much, Avo, for creating this course!

My previous coach always told me to calm down when I spoke to him about blunders and never helped me address the root causes. This course has been extremely enlightening. Thank you so much Chessmood for providing something that is rarely discussed(in such a deep manner) and helping me improve from 1980 to 2100 Lichess blitz.

Wow, Mohit! What a review! Very happy to be helpful. How long did it take you to cross 2100?

This course is, perhaps, the best one yet on ChessMood!! Not only has this heavily impacted my play and helped me win/draw games I otherwise wouldn't have, but it's also helped me recover after blunders! For example, in this one game I played, I lost a piece, but followed your advice and went on to win it :D Of course, I regret not doing this course earlier (when I had the opportunity), due to underestimating the psychological impact it would have on me...but I made the right move and did it anyways, and I'm very proud of it ^-^ (the game in case you're curious: https://www.chess.com/game/live/117301892539) Thank you so much Avetik for this amazing course :) - Roo

Awesome course Chessmood! It helped me a lot! The only problem now with my blunders is that I overthink things, what section best correlates with this problem?

Thanks, Seshi! And its a good question. I would recommend just keeping going, soon everything will settle down and you'll find a good balance.

Wow. Just wow! I have put off this course for quite some time. After all, how much could psychological factors really matter? Honestly this course is a game-changer! Im close to completing it, and I already see a massive improvement in my results! I just cannot believe it was this easy! Thank you Chessmood!!

I had my doubts before taking this course, but after finishing it, I fully believe it can add 300+ elo to your current elo. This course is very unique, and I haven't seen anything like it anywhere else. Most courses focus on the theory, openings, tactics, endgames, etc, but this psychological aspect is very important. Very glad to be part of the Chessmood family to be able to have the opportunity to experience such high quality teaching. My favorite part of this course is the weeding out blunders sheet. I thought it was very creative, and I hope to minimize my blunders as much as possible from now on!
admin image
GM_Avetik Grigoryan
Yesss!!! Thank you very much, Kyle! Why were you skeptical? :) Are you using the sheet? How is it going?
Kyle Sun
Kyle Sun
I was skeptical because I didnt think psychological factors affected my play that much xD, boy was I wrong! I am loving the sheet! I have taken your suggestions and expanded into much more details about weaknesses in my play. I've been using it for 3 weeks now, my elo went from 1000 to 1200 on chess.com blitz (sorry I love blitz!), and rating is still increasing! Halfway to 1300 now actually

I've already said what an absolutely great course this is. But last night I played my first OTB game since completing it and the advice really helped me buckle down, focus and convert in a major piece endgame where I was winning. Very pleased as these endgames I often find difficult. That said I messed up the advice about arriving early by going to the wrong venue and was 5 mins late for the game! I blame Google Maps!

Amazing course, one thing that has also helped me recover from blunders and keeping the mood is thinking to myself as if I could see the engine evaluation and it would still say that I'm winning or it's a draw and that keeps me from doing more blunders. Right mood, right move!

Great course! It's nice to know that everyone blunders. GM Avetik Grigoryan is just amazing! If you ever read this comment, Avetik, I would really love your advice on something. Whenever I blunder and lose a game, I am very angry and don't want to analyse my game because I don't want to see my painful blunder again and I just want to forget what happened and move on. Any advice for overcoming that?
admin image
GM_Avetik Grigoryan
Thank you very much, Joe! It's not you who doesn't like. It's your ego. Harness it. All the best players, and every singly successful person analyzes and finds mistakes. Keep in mind, that every time you found a mistake, you grew a little bit more. Good luck!

Blunders frequently dissolve an winning position into a lost one, but when we have learned this blunder proof course, I hope it will restrict all our blunders along with inaccuracies so that we can easily accomplish the unearned that we need at present. At last I am happy that I have been able to add this technique in my chess arsenal. A plethora of thanks to GM Avetik Grigoryan and his team for providing such paramount materials .

Again let's GOOOOOOOO 🎉🎉 finished the course in a day , quite a feat i guess? But avetik i really want to be a world champion, i know i will 😄, if i ever get a chance i will tell the world about the best chess coach in the world 🫵. This is a really nice course, i played in an otb rapid rated tournament, 2 days event There were 10 rounds , game 1 was a draw it was really a lucky save😂,game 2 i won quite easily, game 3 I was playing against a IM and lost , game 4 i just was so angry that I couldn't win a IM and lost this game too😑 , Game 5 c,mon i lost to 10 year old kid 🥲. I really didn't know what was wrong with me or why I lost 3 games in a row Day 1 and my score out of 5 was 1.5 pretty low right? Then i went to my room and shut the door and said to myself "I know i am not this weak, you know what? I'm gonna win 5 games in a row tomorrow, let's see who's gonna stop me" The next day , would you believe that if I said i won 5 games in a row? And I did , game 1 was against a 1700 which i won, game 2 against 1500 also won, game 3 against a FM did i actually care about that guy being an FM? Nah . I won that game too 😂 , game 4 this game i only won because I learnt the collaboration mate , thanks to avetik 😆, now now let's not celebrate already because Game 5 i was paired with the same IM that I lost to, i was so surprised that i wanted to beat him so badly 🤣 Did i win or not? Well ofc I did 😁 it was not a win by fluke or luck but underestimation. At that point I only felt that I had underestimated myself XDD So now I'll say a quote "underestimating your opponents is a mistake underestimating, yourself is another"

Thank you for this course. Of course I watched this through several days. When I was in 5th chapter I played short Rapid tournament on lichess. Only on the following day I resumed watching and found out, that I needed to keep my mood - it really confirmed my previous day experience that even when I was hyperfocused and tried to deal with pressure I lost my mood and tournament went badly. I can't wait for next online tournament and looking forward to use whole-yourse-knowledge in my play.

It was a local tournament at Hastings Chess Club for under 1850 ECF rating. I made sure I warmed up, and practiced hyper-focus, keeping the mood and relaxing only at the end. I was 3/3 after the 1st day, went into the 4th game on day 2, and lost, but kept the mood and won my final game to finish 4/5. It was a tie for 1st with 2 others, but still my 1st ever!

This was a brilliant course. As a 13 year old, I often struggle with focusing during chess videos/courses, but this was presented in a pleasing, easy to grasp manner. The content was amazing, and I feel much of your advice will be helpful not only in my chess, but life. After the pressure of playing competitive chess got to me, my love for chess faded, and it became more of a dull task, tournaments things to dread, and they still often are, but your enthusiasm and passion for chess seeps through these videos and sometimes reminds me of the good things about chess. Thank you so much, and please never stop making content like this!!

Amazing course! Very helpful....I was able to decrease my blunder and is not confused now. But, when I tell my mom this is not a blunder she gets angry on me and ignores me...

Great course, I learned a lot. Just two small remarks: - Time trouble is a regular cause for blunders. How to deal with it? (Better opening preparation, better mood, better calculating skills, ... Point taken, but it happens to the best, so what to do?) - The png-files are white letters on a dark background. Looks cool, but needs my whole (and expensive) printing ink.

Hello GM Avetik, This is a great course and tells me that even chess has a routine and has helped me prepare for a game. However, there is another reason I make a lot of bunders and it is time trouble. Can you please make a section on this?

Thanks, Anubhav! Sure! We'll address Time Management in another course.

I just finished this course and it has totally changed the way I think. There's no magic or secrets to any of this, it's just forcing yourself to go through a mental checklist both before the game, during different stages of the game, and after the game. Each of these sections will add a different tool, little by little, to your arsenal. Everything is explained in a simple way with many examples. Wonderful course overall!

Llorenc, it's not related to Blunders. It's covered in the articles.
