Playing the same opening every time and recognizing certain traps and common mistakes will definitely lead to less blunders. Which means OP will improve his rating if he does that.

"Stop making bad moves" has to be some of the dumbest advice ever given. Just get better lmao. Fukkin useless "advice".
