How can I stop getting blunder ?

Hi! I'm sorry that you are not doing so well. All I can say is to PRACTICE. (A lot of it!) You can do daily puzzles, puzzle battles, Puzzle Rush, Puzzles, play with other players, and play with bots. I am not the best chess player myself, but I do see improvements in each game I play. I hope this helps! 🙂

Play slower time controls. I just looked at your past games. Bullet?

Try a 30 minute time control.

I don't always have time for the 30-minute time control. I do better when I can do the 3-day time control, that way I can make my move whenever I can get to it.

Then just play 1 or 3 day games. Analyze them. That’s how you will get better

Not the painter... Is correct!

Play slower time controls (I need to follow his advice too!)

Many GMs stay clear of skittle time controls (it's a myth that all of them play Bullet & Blitz... doesn't mean they can't ... just stating the truth is many don't)

George Koltanowski (in 1936 rated 18th in the world by Chess Metrics) the standard-bearer of the Colle opening after his fellow country man died i.e. Edgard Colle (rated 14th in the world in 1930) stated UNEQUIVOCALLY if you want to get good at chess stay away from skittles.

Stop playing speed chess. No one improved by playing fast.

What kind of games are you playing? (blitz, rapid, bullet, etc.)

Or if I am online, or others like myself (if you ask them), might be willing to help you through a game or 2 when they have time. I do it quite regularly and i don't mond doing it at all-even if it costs me the game.

I classify that as good sportsmanship by passing the baton to the new players whom are just startong out their journey to master the game of chess. But unfortunately i can only assist people in English.

After each move of your adversary ask yourself: "What did he attack?". Do it absolutely every time and you will make much fewer mistakes.

Speed chess is, in fact, useless if you want to practice strategy, but very useful to practice openings.

1. Watch out for pawn advances by the opponent that fork two of your pieces simultaneously. It's the understated sort of move that is easily overlooked, but you can end up saving one piece but losing the other and the game can turn on it.

2. Watch out for Knight forks. The Knight's motion is also easy to overlook but if the opponent manages to fork your King and Queen, the game can turn on it too. If he forks a Queen and a Rook, you can lose the latter and it is only a little less disastrous than losing the Queen.

Agreed #14. But we are talking about another 200 player that thinks speed chess is the path to improvement.
