Play less speed chess. Give yourself more time to analyses a position. I play speed chess for fun and to try out different things, but I also play daily games
What has this got to do with 1000 people posting a new topic every day?
well if u need to reduce blunders u have to analyse ur game urself or with someone and understand ur thought process in different phases of the game
cjxchess16, do you classify 1500s and 1600s as beginners? You're even 1500 and 1600 yourself!

Some days ago I was playing normally, suddenly I started to lose all my games, for inferior rating opponents, I dropped from +2150 to -2000, just in about two days. Then I realize I was tired, so I stayed two days without chess online, spleeping correctly, eating correctly, drink enough water, relaxing, studying chess (with real chess board and pieces), then I came back to chess.com to recover my honor. And that's it. I am with +2150 blitz again. I think it's all about how you are feeling (you are tired, don't play chess, if you are stressed, don't play chess; play chess only when you are calm, happy and healthy), I feel it at least. It is REAL the humor/mood influence on your game. So take a break, try to relax one or two entire days without playing online chess, go to study chess calmly (no more than 2 hours, solve some tactics and read some good chess book), take a good night sleeping, take a good breakfast, drink some water and then play chess online (more then 5 minutes, with additional seconds maybe, then slowly going to games more fast like 3/2, then 3/0, than maybe 1/0 if you like bullet, like a process).
So my question is why am I making these blunders that I normally wouldn't do these past few days?
