How to avoid mistakes and boost your winning rate
Vishnu Prasanna
Doesn’t every chess game get decided by mistakes? Absolutely. But most players never truly comprehend that they are making the same kind of mistakes over and over again.
Vishnu groups mistakes into the following categories:
1. Unforced Errors
2. Tactical & Positional mistakes
3. Psychological mistakes
4. Calculation & Assessment mistakes
5. Good positional moves that are mistakes
With more than 20 examples, you get a firm understanding of each type of mistake. IM Sagar Shah asks pertinent questions, and has also made cards, shown throughout the videos, that ensure you can firmly grasp the nature of the mistakes. Vishnu discusses how to fix these mistakes, and how his students - Gukesh, Leon Mendonca, Surya Ganguly and himself! - all very strong grandmasters, managed to fix the mistakes that they were making - leading to serious improvement in their play. To conclude, there are test positions to reinforce your understanding of the subject. If you study this course carefully, it will help you to become a stronger and more aware chess player, and will surely lead to a rise in your level of play.
