I lost this game, completely!

 

I violated lots of openiong principles, like bringing Queen early... moving peices quite a few peices early. But, what do you think was main weakness here?
And I didn't annotate this game much, because to me all my moves are lookignliek stupid from retrospect.

I wonder what the reason was that made you voilate your own opening princples.

And here  about the rules at chess.com in their own words :
What is are the rules about cheating?
You can NEVER use chess programs or engines (Chessmaster, Fritz, etc) to analyze current ongoing games unless specifically permitted (such as a computer tournament, agreed upon unrated game, etc). The only type of computer assistance allowed is games databases for opening lines in Turn-based Correspondence-style Chess and Vote Chess, Chess.com Opening Explorer, chess books, and an analysis board. ...

The main thing early on was that you had to play ... d6 to protect your e-pawn.

I think this post is a really telling example of why a lot of players don't improve. It seems as though you are looking for us to tell you the one weakness that would set the whole game right if corrected. This is faulty thinking. Chess is a system, so the collective effect of the moves makes it a good or bad game. Sure, there are outright blunders, but more often we lose because we play a string of moves with "I dont know why i did it" as their basis. You yourself tell us that you violated opening principles, brought the queen out too early, and made too many aimless moves. Then you proceed to ask us what else. You have just told us! Smile If you would be interested in some training games, just let me know.
