Don't use calculation to solely advocate for your first candidate move. Find at least two candidate moves, and try to figure out which one of them is better.
And of course consider all of your opponent's forcing moves.

You didn't get the point. In slow time control there is no such problem. It happens in blitz like in 3 min games when you don't have much time to think but still some blunders can be avoided by thinking additional 1-2 seconds.
Basically the same answer plus you already answered yourself... you avoid superficial thinking by calculating... with the disclaimer that everyone blunders now and then in speed games, and if you're tired or unfocused then it's basically impossible to avoid.
Its the nature of Bullet, Blitz and time scrambles, these games/endings are mostly decided on who is the first to blunder vs who is the first to recognise a blunder vs the clock. As such you shouldn't resign or accept defeat until your time expires.
I think blunders is the major problem for low and intermediate level players. I would be much higher rated if only i could avoid one move blunders. I am currently 1600, sometimes 1700 in blitz and make a lot of horrible blunders. There is no point to learn openings, analyze games or pay to a coach if you still make horrible one move blunders. I have been playing for very long time, solved a lot of tactics but still blunders is the main reason for losing or winning. I am not angry anymore when in completely winning position i make a horrible move and resign. I accept the fact that i am terrible at chess. What do you think? Is there something that can help not to make blunders? I have noticed that sometimes i make very quick move and blunder.
I find Accepting blunders one of the hardest things in chess...
Magnus Carlsen makes blunders.
This is such a bizarre topic i keep seeing creep up. people being annoyed about their blunders, asking how to stop blundering.
It's never gonna stop, u are always gonna have games that u lose. Ur human, not a robot.

The difference is of course how often blunders are made. In my case it is very often. I feel like a complete patzer. I can't imagine how bad is below 1500.

doesn't really matter. the guys asking to find a way to avoid blunders all together.

Not really. At my level result is decided mostly on blunders. If i make only one blunder during a game when i have a chance because my opponents can make more than one. If i make no blunders i almost certainly win but it happens only sometimes. Terrible.
mate at ur level ur making at least 1blunder a game on average.
Sure. What is why i am asking what to do with it? Blunderfest is annoying.

that will never change, no matter how hard you focus, no matter how many books you read. Magnus is rated 2800+ and he makes blunders, so how do you, an average 1700 player think ur gonna get to a point where u wont make blunders?
Ur goal is unrealistic, u will always make them because ur not strong enough to see the right move in every position in every game.
Magnus is rated 2800+ and he makes blunders
And yet, there's a big difference between 1800 and 2800.
His and Carlsen's blunders aren't the same, and OP's question is reasonable... he even specifically says he wants to avoid "one move blunders."

Have u all lost ur mind?
U just admitted magnus makes blunders and then admitted there's a big difference in the skill gap between magnus and the forum poster. So if magnus, who is so much better makes 1 move blunders, how do u expect this guys request to be reasonable?
in my opinion and i am very beginner blunders are cool because you learn ... make a blunder once or twice and you wont do it again later. so take the positive side of it. blitz are hard and i rather practice in 10 minutes or more before trying blitz .DynamicBeast said "Do not make a move until you try to understand why your opponent made their last move and which squares the piece they moved covers. It is fine if you don`t understand but make sure you try first." i will apply this idea thanks excuse my english
Not all 1 move blunders are the same level of stupid. OP is implying his blunders are uncharacteristically bad for his level.
Obviously eliminating all blunders is a stupid question, so I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt and trying to answer the reasonable version of the question.

For my level? I analyzed my last game - 3 blunders, 4 mistakes and i won. Horrendous.
