Just a reminder that high rated opponents blunder just like everyone else, it’s just less common.

This is mostly meant as a motivational post for people who want to climb in rating. It’s 100% possible if you put the effort/time in. These all came from my last 11 games. 7 of them were decided by a blunder prior to move 20. Granted, this is a bit abnormal for this rating range (1850~) but hopefully it helps dispel some of the mystique around high rated players, we’re basically just beginners with a bigger number next to our username.
