What is a "blunder"?
A blunder in chess is a serious mistake, often leading to a significant disadvantage or loss of the game. It usually happens when a player overlooks a move or makes a poor decision that results in the loss of material, a missed checkmate, or a weakened position. Blunders are typically unintentional and can occur when a player is under pressure, distracted, or miscalculates a move. A blunder can turn the tide of the game, and it is one of the most costly mistakes a player can make.
