Different things work for different people. Try checking if you blunder against higher-rated opponents or against guys weaker than you are. It might help to understand if the root cause if fear or nonchalance. If, as you said, you are afraid of blundering, then it might help to do a blunder check. Look at the position after discarding your previous thoughts about your chosen move; this helps (at least, it helps me!) to cut down on blunders. However, blitz and bullet games allow no time for second-guessing yourself, so you got to be careful.

Thanks for the suggestion . I will try your tip out .explorer.png

I also mostly ( 98% ) play Rapid games since it gives me more time to think and also improves my chess understanding.

Or.... just get a brain freeze

Play in Antarctica with a sack of ice packs. Plus, if you wear the right gear, your opponent might freeze and you will win the game. That is how you stay cool. Really, it’s possible!

Waste your money on such petty things.

There is nothing anyone can say or do to help you with this. As you say, you are young. It is one of the problems, of being young. The older you get, the less, the symptoms, will occur.

Actually the older you get , the more problems will occur . ex: pains in your body, weak memory and etc. ( I am not insulting ) .

But thanks for your opinion too!

This happens regardless of age. It's normal. I'm probably much older than you and I still get butterflies. I would say, try to relax and enjoy the journey. Keep on playing my friend!
