This course can change how you think about your chess
Azel is an amazing resource, that thinks about chess improvement in unique ways. This course is a terrific example of his clear thinking, and actionable advice that can be used to transform your game, and make your learning far more efficient. Thank you so much Azel, I've tried other blunder courses, but I'm far more confident this will have a real impact on my game!

Excellent, highly recommend to Adult Chess improvers
This is very important course for any serious budding Chess players w/ELO 1600 or less and trying to self-improve. This course is applicable especially to those Chess players who are on their own without having a Chess coach or not a member of Chess training centre. I found this course very helpfull since my ELO ratings dropped 150points in 18months only due to one-move blunders in the matches where I was winning! I am an adult Chess player, an OTB person and member of Chessclub in Denmark who likes to play Chess professionally. I am an adult improver who has started taking Chess seriously at age of 48years, after a gap of 27years from Chess days. At 21years of age, Life happened so to say, that kept me away from game of Chess (Chaduranga in my native Indian language), which was my first love! I thank both CM Azel Chua and NM Matt Jensen for bringing this course to me.

Outstanding Foundational Course!
This course aims squarely at the root cause of blunders, with detailed instruction on how to eliminate various types blunders at the source. Chua provides very specific exercises that, if applied over time and with persistence, rewire the brain to prevent the errors that lead to blunders. In exercising these disciplines, Chua argues: "master the simple, and the more complex errors will start to fade away." With this in mind, I found the lessons on Coordinate Training to be incredibly insightful and foundational! I have been experimenting with applying his recommendations for some time now when I do both my tactics and opening training. In this way, even when I'm doing something as simple as a chess puzzle, by verbalizing the details of the move, I'm increasing my awareness of the pieces on the board in order to prevent making inaccuracies, mistakes, blunders, etc. Chua suggests that when doing this: "you’re not just recognising pieces - you’re tracking relationships, threats, and intentions, often without even trying." I have re-watched the course a second time and highly recommend it! The course is an excellent component of the ChessGoals library!

Blunder no more! (meaning blunder much less)
A clear guide on how to find and tackle the root causes of our most frequent blunders. It's not a quick fix, and you will need to work hard, but that's the beauty of chess, right? Though I'm not playing frequently enough, I'm on an 8-game winning streak on "live games" (rapid and blitz), and I attribute most of it to this course.

Excellent course to help understand Blundering
This course contains information that is not found in other material I've seen about how to reduce blundering. The common insights describe what to do but this goes into more depth to really help you understand what can occur that leads to blundering. Very pleased to see this as part of the chess goals courses
