I'm approaching 40 years old, have played chess off and on since I was a kid, and I'm not sure I've ever played a match that didn't include several blunders. Like, on the off chance I'm playing someone who doesn't blunder often, I'll certainly pick up their slack.

My game quality is measured in how many times I say "fuck!" right after moving a piece. A very good game for me is about a two-fuck game.

The fun thing about chess, you don’t seem to think you are good, but I can’t imagine only making two obvious mistakes in a game! It grows with you, haha.

No no, that's a very good game for me :-)

Most of them it's more like four or five "oh my god I hope they don't see that thing I spotted the second I took my hand off" moments—and that's just the ones I notice before they're exploited. I'm sure I make tons of moves that anyone half-decent would call blunders but that simply go unnoticed by both players at the board.

I'm so very bad at spotting diagonal attacks, especially. Anyone who can open up their bishops then play for time will eventually see me put my queen in some dumbshit situation that lets them take it free or cheap in a single move, for instance, not even any multi-move planning required.

If chess is truly a drawn game with perfect play then whoever makes the second to last blunder is the winner.
