If you are stuck on the rating of 100-500 then play like me. I was a 100 rating player but after I learned this secret then I become 441 rating player under 3 weeks. The secret is controlling the centre with d4 and d5. F pawn is most valuable so don't move it at all except in endgame. And all of last my advise will be if you are 100- 300 rating player then play scholars gambit. Even if you can not mate through it you can win materials early of the game which is very advanced stage in opening.

550 rapid here, scholar's mate is something you shouldn't get used to. It has a chance of working under 500 but it can lead to poor positions for white and even a queen blunder if not careful. Instead, you should learn how to defend against the scholar's mate as many players play it at this elo, like so:
i wont explain too much as many resources exist, but you can get a good position as black
though if you think your opponent won't know this defense then by all means go for the scholar's mate but don't blunder your queen in the process

Going for the scholars mate will ensure your rating stays under 500. In general, breaking chess principles isn't a good way to improve.

This is true. Always make sure you know how do defend it. When I was 550> Elo on my old account, I knew how to defend against it but many players I did it against did not, winning me quite a bit of games, but as soon as their Elos reached <550 they defended it well

Blunder means a bad move so don't do it stop recommending scholars mate. Let's be real that's just hoping your opponent falls for it and what is the worst thing do do? Play hope chess.

Just think, play slowly (not too slowly like don't spend 3 minutes on a single move if it's 10 minute) and don't blunder. Not blundering is easiest when you do a lot of puzzles. can't do them here, go to the other site.

First, that isn't the correct use of the word blunder.
- Blunder means a move that completely ruins your position, like a move that loses a piece, or one that allows your opponent to force checkmate.
- Move that makes your position worse but don't completely ruins it are Inaccuracies or Mistakes, such as getting the queen out early.
With that out of the way,
- Getting out the queen early is generally an inaccuracy or a mistake, as your opponent can spend time in the opening developing their pieces and attacking your queen at the same time.
- You have to spend valuable time defending your queen, which could've been used for piece development.
