One chess advice i would give to every chess player is to always be willing to learn and improve

Chess is a game with endless possibilities and strategies and there is always room to grow and develop new skills

Even the strongest players in the world continue to study and analyze the game to stay at the top of their game

So always be open to new ideas study different openings and endgames and seek out opportunities to learn from more experienced players

Get ready to play a lot of cheaters. Chess.com is horrible at policing it.

Sit on your hands.

Analyze your completed games, especially identifying and understanding your mistakes and how you could have avoided making them.

If you do choose to sit on your hands then just don't fart on your hands. And make sure to wash your hands with soap and water afterwards

Alternatively, you could fart loudly just before offering to shake hands with the opponent.

My original "sit on your hands" suggestion was inspired by my belief that most blunders are caused by a player just reaching out, grabbing a piece, and making a move without checking first to see if it's a blunder.

So if you train yourself to:

1) sit on your hands until you have DECIDED on a move, and

2) always (always!) do a blunder check when you pull your hands out from under your butt

Then putting 1+2 together you will ALWAYS do a blunder-check before you actually make a move.

My advice: do exactly the opposite of what I do and you will get very strong!

Always take the queen, even if you get mated, who cares, a queen is a queen.
