Once you’re finished, we’re going to set up a lichess bot account. Head over to https://lichess.org/ and create a new account.

> the player who committed more blunders lost 86% of the time

In some sense this is almost tautological. While finding an exact definition for a chess blunder isn't straightforward, here is one example from the Lichess UI:

https://github.com/lichess-org/lila/blob/b527746b179cdde6438...

Basically, if you make a move which decreases your winning probability more than 14% over the best move, that's a blunder. But winning probability is a nonlinear function of stockfish centipawns. A drop in 100 centipawns when you're up 15 points isn't a blunder. When the game was equal, it is.

Point is, by the time you know it's a blunder you already know something about the outcome of that move, that it swung the winning probability by more than 14%. So the analysis is kind of just measuring some function of winning probability and saying that it is highly correlated with winning probability.

If you want to improve make it your goal to play the best chess you can, not increase an arbitrary number. Watch YouTube series like John Bartholomew's "Climb the Rating Ladder" for some general insight into what you might be doing wrong. Read Irving Chernev's "Logical Chess: Move By Move" to see the thinking process of high level players. Do lots of puzzles (I like lichess.org for puzzles). And always analyze your games. When you analyze make it your goal to find at least two things you could have improved.

The easiest way to play against Stockfish is perhaps on https://lichess.org/, but it's not the only chess engine that evaluates positions with a neural network.

if you actually like chess, try lichess.org, the free and open-source, no ads ever, premium alternative

It comes with experience. There is a website called listudy.org that has a section called “Blind Tactics” that might help with visualization.

Listudy: Memorise openings with spaced repetition. Chess Endgame Training Chessercise: Practice chess with YouTube. Chess Madra: Build and practise an opening repertoire. Aimchess: Learn your strengths and weaknesses.

If you are trying to practice a certain opening, I would highly recommend listudy.org just to build that spaced repetition in your head.

I find https://listudy.org very useful for drilling lines. I don't see it mentioned often, but it allows you to import any lichess study (selfmade or other) into it and it'll pick a random line that's up to you to correctly play out until the end. Works very well if you do it enough

I use private Lichess Studies to store/build my repertoire. Start "choosing" your preferred responses to various opening moves and store them there. Start 1 move deep at a time and branch out slowly. At low level of play it's actually better to go just a few moves deep and have some canned responses to common bad moves from your opponents. You can import your lichess study into listudy.org which turns your saved opening prep into spaced repetition exercises to practice.

Second, you can check out https://listudy.org which can do this with lichess studies.
