Sharpen your tactical vision and eliminate costly blunders with this in‑depth chess lesson on “My Opponent’s Last Move”—the critical habit every improving player must master. I walk you through five real‑game positions where missing a single threat leads to instant disaster. You’ll learn how to apply the CLAMP checklist (Checks, Loose pieces, Alignments, Mobility, Passed pawns) to spot mating nets, knight forks, remove‑the‑guard tactics and trapped pieces before they strike. Whether you’re a beginner stuck in the 1000–1500 Elo range or an ambitious club player chasing rapid rating gains, these examples reveal exactly why we misread “defensive” moves and how to punish—or survive—them.

Keywords: chess tactics, avoid blunders, identify threats, CLAMP method, beginner chess strategy, improve chess rating, knight fork, remove the guard, chess course, chess tactics.
