Sir, what I learned from people on this site was: a blunder is a blunder. Even if your opponent response with another blunder and you win the game, it is still a blunder.

Not saying you are, but if youre playing moves with the hope that your opponent will not see the best reply?  That is called Hope Chess, and that is a sure fire recipe for disaster.

Doubled pawns are twice as good.  Must be true cos Ben Finegold says so!

Doubled pawns are not great. The pawn int the front is slightly vulnerable and blocks another pawn's path. The only times the doubled pawns are good is when they control a larger area of a board and they are protected by other pawns.

And, also, who is Ben Finegold?

 How can people not know who Ben Finegold is?  Tsk!
