When you try to move see if this is good or check twice if any piece is hanging and you will soon see the results

Learn checkmates, and don't stress about openings. Play King's Pawn

Also, learn opening traps and gambits

Anyways, try and just do lots of puzzles. Puzzles help you stop blundering pieces which is the first step.
