As it stands, a blunder/blunders on my or my opponent's side decides a very vast majority of my games (with opponents rated 1300-2000). I wonder do higher ranked players (let's say 2200+) remember when, at what rating, did the games they played become more strategical and less dependent on players' monumental errors?
Because one unpleasant thing is losing due to huge mistakes, but another even more unpleasant thing is the unrewarding feeling of winning because your opponent made a mistake, primarily not because you were strong but because they were weak.
Obviously even GMs blunder, but when they don't blunder pieces in every game they play. So, when would this 'circus' normally stop?
