This video looks at the cognitive/psychological roots of our chess mistakes. We humans live in a very complex world and our brains use shortcuts and heuristics to simplify this complexity. This results in several cognitive biases.: [ Ссылка ]
In this video, we talk about one of the most well-known cognitive bias: confirmation bias. Confirmation bias happens when people seek out information that 'confirms' their existing beliefs rather than evidence that goes against those beliefs. In the chess world, confirmation bias leads to blunders by wishful thinking, trusting the stronger opponent, and not actively searching for the best moves for your opponent.
