Also remember this: If you make only a mere mistake and did not blunder, YOU HAVE FAILED. Don't make mistakes, blunder.

And remember, chess is 99% blunders, so you should blunder at LEAST 99% of the time.

np. Usually I would demand at least a paragraph of gratitude, but in the kindness of my heart I will accept this.

True, a very good way to blunder, unless your gambit wins the game.

Do we get awards or achievements for blunders?
yes, although not official. sometimes (20%), your opponent sends a confused pm to you, wondering why you did what you did. do not be fooled, however, this is actually an undercover chess.com staff giving u an award

I did not need this course. I already knew all of this. If I could give it zero stars, I would. I want my money back.

There are several ways to blunder. But how exactly does one blunder? Let me attempt to explain:
Blunder: a stupid or careless mistake.
For example, I may have blundered by making the text on the blunder definition different, making it look like I copied and pasted it from somewhere. Did I? Well, yes I did. Now that you know what a blunder is, let us go over how to blunder. There are several ways I can think of to blunder in chess.
A. Let yourself get checkmated.
B: Miss an oppurtunity.
C: Hang an important piece.
D: Let your time run out and forget that you were playing a game of chess.
E: Don't play the Bongcloud.
Remember, over time it seems to get harder and harder for people to blunder. A 500 might blunder every 3 moves, while a GM will only make a major blunder maybe once 10-30 games. All you need to do is remember these 5 ways, and you will blunder like a patzer in no time!
I have been there so many times before, were I make an ugly blunder! 
Not cool right?!
