> To win at chess, blunder less. How to win: don't lose. C'mon it's not like people actively choose to make mistakes.

  Sure, but you can choose your play style. I find I’m way more likely to win a chess game if I play a few moves of a really safe, boring opening, and then just focus on keeping everything protected and never extend myself too much until the opponent hangs their queen (I’m about 400, so that’s actually very likely). If I get creative and come out all aggressive, I hang my queen. But the former is boring as hell, which is why I don’t play chess.

    That's you, when I play aggressive chess the OTHER side makes blunders. It will show up as "the other player made a mistake so you won" and as an unforced error of course it's unforced, if we all played perfectly there would be no game to play, but the aggression is what showed their bad tactical play
