How many blunders are in a game of chess?

major mistakes, 1 or 2 a game, but smaller tactical errors, usually under five a game! No one plays a "perfect game" with no mistakes, even if you can't even see the mistake. However if you mean blunders that double up my pawns or lose me tempo etc. then I would say about once a game.
