Things that help me avoid blundering.

1) study endgames.

2) study tactics

3) play very slowly in the opening.....I play 45+45 and I often use 20-30 minutes of my time by move 15-20.

4) When you have a winning position dont get in a hurry to end the game. If there is a combination make sure it is forcing and you are calculating correctly. Do something to improve your position if the combos arent working just yet.

5. exercise regularly......blunders can happen just from being mentally tired. Physical exercise can improve you mental stamina.

6. Keep a positive mindset....negative thoughts can lead to blunders.
