Hello all, firstly please excuse if any of the questions or quandaries encountered in this game seem obvious, all suggestions and info are welcome and appreciated!

Hi lunchbox. For what its worth, this game is a little too much on the beginner level to annotate reasonably.

If you really want to improve your game, what I would suggest is to grab a general beginners book, like logical chess move by move, but more importantly, you must study tactics. the free website "chess.emrald.net" would be good place to start. devote 80 percent of your time to tactics, and 20 percent studying any material for beginners, and you should improve eventually. 

Thanks for the link, that looks like a useful site to build up on tactics, I'll hold off posting in here for a while, at least until I improve markedly.

Cheers,

Lunchbox
