Hi everyone, I'm a quite new chess player, and I learn to play alone (in fact, I only play in lichess).
My main problem at the moment is blundering, as it's the reason of like 90% of my losses. Very often, I think I play relatively solid for a beginner but I also end up with terrible blunders which make all my efforts useless. Like in those games :

And then, I played another game with this game and won easily. It just shows how terrible my blunders are :

I feel really stupid when I see that because these two examples were incredibly easy to see and to avoid.
So my question is : have you got any tips to avoid blunders ? Maybe good players have a particular way to look at the board, or maybe they ask themselves the good questions to avoid blunders. Maybe it's a stupid question but any advice would be welcome !
