maybe like look the whole board and say stuff like what would happen if i played this move or what would the other person do and only do moves that make sense and you have a plan for, i might be lower elo than you but that hacks helped me

There is no magic secret that allows a beginner to stop blundering pieces. Chess is both a game of skill and memorization as well as a test of fluid iq.

In order to get better the only solution is to practice and get better over time by playing games and analyzing your losses once by yourself and once with a stronger chess partner or coach.

Doing a set number of tactics daily is a must for an improving player. I suggest you find a good tactics book.

Find a good theory book and go over a chapter a week just like you are taking a class.

Study annotated master games. (Just 1 per day is better than none per day)

Drills and sparring with a chess buddy helps.

When you do puzzles try and visualize the next few moves and see the possibilities before you make a move.

Science shows chess and IQ has no correlation from whatever some people yapped about a bit ago

I would recommend practicing against bots with the threats setting on, so you can learn how to identify when there are pieces under attack. That is what I did with my sister, and it works.

I do it too, and it works.
