Finding the best moves is really hard and many books were written on that topic. I use a simplified model with my students to help them make really good moves without reading 100 books.
Decreasing blunders is easier. The majority of people are talking about tactical blunders and not positional ones. To decrease blunders, stop after every move that your opponent makes and ask yourself what is he intending with the move. Then, think about what you want to play. When you decided what move you want to play, stop again and imagine how the board looks like when you make that move and is there anything dangerous your opponent can do after that move. And keep calculating until the forcing line is over. At the end of the forcing line, evaluate the position.
This process is usually short for beginners, because they just need to stop hanging pieces and start taking advantage of the situation when their opponent hangs a piece.
How do I decrease blunders and find the best moves? I would be really grateful if someone provides me a proper answer. Thanks in advance
