Easy 4 downlowder: Catalog of Chess Mistakes ebook by Soltis (PDF + PGN)

Chess is a game of bad moves. It is, in fact, the game that most depends on error, No game has a greater variety of ways of going wrong or gives you as many opportunities--dozens on every move.Other games depend heavily on chance or on the mastery of some relatively limited skills. But a chess game is decided by the failings of one of the players.
Yet we refuse to recognize this. \Ve like to think the game is a battle between good moves and better moves. vVhen we win, we tell ourselves-and anyone who wlll listen-that the critical difference was our fine maneuvering, our positional cunning, or our tactical ingenuity. \Vhen we lose, weIl, it was a stupid mistake- as if errors were an aberration, an extraordinary accident. Mistakes can only be messy, ugly, and disruptive, we say.
