The Product | Blunder And Best Move Checklists

What’s Included Inside The Checklists?

Here’s everything you get immediately, upon ordering today. Two checklists, three skill levels, and the formats to use them however you play.

  • Best Move Finder Checklists For 3 Skill Levels
    Best Move Checklists

    Best Move Finder Checklists For 3 Skill Levels

    A step-by-step routine for finding your strongest move in any position, whether it’s a forcing tactic on the board or a quieter positional idea you’d otherwise miss. Each checklist is matched to a rating band.

    • Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced versions
    • A clear sequence to run through every move
    • Covers tactics and positional ideas
    • Replaces guesswork with a process
  • Blunder-Avoidance Checklists For 3 Skill Levels
    Blunder Checklists

    Blunder-Avoidance Checklists For 3 Skill Levels

    The safety net you run straight after. A quick scan for the hanging piece, the missed fork or the mate in one, before you commit to a move you can’t take back. What trips up a 700-rated player is very different from what trips up a 1900, so each level has its own checklist.

    • Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced versions
    • Catches hanging pieces, pins and back-rank mates
    • Takes about 10 seconds to run
    • Built around the mistakes your level actually makes
  • Interactive PDFs And Print-Optimised Versions, In Multiple Layouts

The Real Problem

You Don’t Lack Chess Knowledge. You Lack A Process.

You’re up a piece, maybe two. Then one careless move undoes fifteen minutes of good chess in about four seconds. Or you stare at the board for two minutes, unsure what to play, and go with what feels right.

  • Without A Routine

    Hope and guesswork

    Every move is a fresh decision with no structure. Even good players blunder.

    • Hanging pieces in winning positions
    • Missed forks and back-rank mates
    • Long thinks with no clear plan
    • Tilt that wrecks the next game too
  • With A Checklist

    A routine you run on autopilot

    The same questions, every move. The kind of routine strong players use without thinking about it.

    • Find the best move first
    • Scan for the blunder before you commit
    • Know exactly what to check next
    • Fewer games slipping away

How It Works

Two Checks Before Every Move 

  • Find your best move

    Run through checks, captures and attacks. Ask what your opponent is threatening. Then decide on your strongest idea.

  • Check it for blunders

    Before you play it, scan for the hanging piece, the pin, the back-rank mate you nearly walked into.

  • Play it

    Now you move with a reason, not a hope.

Matched To Your Rating

A Different Checklist For Every Level

What stops a beginner has almost nothing to do with what stops an advanced player. Each checklist is built for the mistakes your level actually makes.

  • Beginner

    Stop hanging pieces

    Build the habit of checking what’s attacked and what’s protected before every move.

  • Intermediate

    Begin taking control

    Find the forcing moves you’re missing, and catch the tactics your opponent has set up.

  • Advanced

    Start dominating

    Catch the intermezzo two moves deep, and notice the slow positional slide with no immediate punishment.

  • What You’ll Be Able To Do

    With a process behind every move, you can:

    • Find strong moves you’d have missed before
    • Catch blunders before they hit the board
    • Stop throwing away winning positions on autopilot
    • Play more confidently under time pressure
    • Recover faster after a bad game, with fewer blunders to recover from
  • Is This Bundle Right For You?

    This is for you if you:

    • Throw away winning positions with careless moves
    • Freeze on the board and don’t know what to play
    • Want a simple process instead of more theory
    • Are a beginner, intermediate or advanced player

Chess Checklists - FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly are the checklists?

Two step-by-step routines. The Best Move Checklist helps you find your strongest move. The Blunder Checklist catches mistakes before you play them.

Which skill level should I choose?

Pick the one that matches your rating: Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced. You get all three, so you can move up as you improve.

Do I need to be good at chess to use this?

No. Whatever your rating, there’s a checklist built for the mistakes you make.

How do I use them in a game?

Run your best move checklist, then the blunder checklist, before you commit to a move. Do this in training games and casual games until it becomes automatic.

Can I use them in rated or tournament games?

Check the rules of the event or platform you’re playing on. Many don’t allow notes during play. Use the checklists to build the habit in practice, so the routine is in your head when you play without them.

What formats are they in?

Interactive PDFs for any digital device, and print-optimised versions of every checklist, in multiple layouts.

Can I print them?

Yes. Every checklist has a print-optimised version.

Will this make me win more?

It’s a tool for building good habits. The results depend on how consistently you use it.

How do I get my files after purchase?

You’ll get instant access to the download on the order confirmation screen. You’ll also get an email with your order details and a link you can use to download again at any time.

Do you offer refunds?

Since these are digital downloads, we don’t typically offer refunds, because you could download the file, ask for a refund and still keep the file. But if you have any issues or want help, contact us and we’ll make it right. You can email James personally at info@chesscheatsheets.com.

What payment methods do you accept?

Credit/debit cards, PayPal, and Apple Pay / Google Pay for a quick, secure checkout.

Do you offer discounts?

Yes. Check out our bundle deals to save when buying multiple packs. They’re our best-value products.

I’m having trouble with my download. What should I do?

Email James at info@chesscheatsheets.com and he’ll get it working.
