After a full year of designing, testing, and refining, I’m beyond excited to announce the release of my 10th (!) Chessable course: Preventing Blunders in Chess. chessable.com/blundercheck
As a cognitive scientist and coach, my mission is to identify the biggest bottlenecks in a player's progress—and give you tools that generalize.
Not tricks. Not shortcuts.
But thinking skills that work across all positions. And the biggest bottleneck I’ve seen? Unsafe moves.
What is truly limiting your performance—your ceiling or your floor?
Improving your ceiling (strategy, calculation, openings) is great. But if blunders keep ruining your games… then raising your floor should be your top priority.
Blunder Check helps you do exactly that.
Think about it this way: If you improve your strategy but still drop pieces, your rating won’t rise. If you improve your safety checks, you instantly become a stronger player.
That’s why blunder-checking isn’t just a useful habit—it’s the most essential skill in practical play. It raises your floor and ensures that your games are decided by real chess ideas, not regrets.
And yet, while books and courses cover tactics, openings, and strategy in depth, blunder-checking remains one of the most underrepresented skills in all of chess education. This course fills that gap.
And no—it’s not about passivity or fear. This course teaches you to verify your ideas with confidence.
Some of the most powerful exercises challenge you to play seemingly blunder-looking moves… …but calculate just one or two plies deeper to prove they work.
I have already received great feedback from the alpha and beta testers of the course. Here is what a beta-tester wrote today: “I know this sounds pretty cliche but I really thought your course was absolutely outstanding and I’m up to my all time high of 1250 chess.com, and over 1600 lichess after studying it.”
It probably works!! I am super excited about the impact of this course on your chess progress. Thanks for your continued support ❤️
