Hi all, I am a 1600 FIDE rated player and I make blunders from time to time in slow games.
What really bugs me is that blunder checks never seem to work for me. I know I am supposed to stop before a move and ask myself whether I am making a blunder, and I am aware of the technique of watching the position with a "fresh eye".
However, it never works for me, and I always spot the refutation the exact moment I play my move, as regular as clockwork.
What can I do to improve my blunder checks?
