    hmmm, I haven't looked at the thread this weekend, and I see we've gone in a strange direction. Maybe someone wants to open a new thread? Yaroslavl maybe, QTKO maybe? This thread is not about openings, or Magnus Carlsen games, and King's Indian openings...its about my development as a chess player, and esp about analyzing my games and the games of other regular posters on here esp jojojopo, aronchuck, and QTKO at this point, and anyone else who wants to join this thread and contribute analyses of our games and contriburte their games, altho this won't be a thread for grab-bag analysis of games, just for regular contributors and posters.

    So let's not have extended discussions of Magnus Carlsen's games on here, k? let's put our focus into the three questions, what's the opponent's idea, where are the weaknesses, which of my pieces needs improving, and the analysis of positions from my games, and games of other posters who have submitted one of their games for duscussion. thanks. There are plenty of opportunities to open new threads, or to join existing threads where such discussions are in progress. Also, if you want you can write an article or a blog for chess.com to discuss Magnuis Carlsen games or anyone else. also, I'll be submitting a game later tonight, so we'll have a concrete game to talk about :)

    I should have been able to win this, since I was up a piece, but I obviously misplayed my huge material advantage, and resigned when my opponent deftly obliterated all of my pawns and was left with three connected passed pawns. There was clearly a point in the game where I made a critcal error. I will now attempt to find where that was. It should be easy for you guys.

    I've just played it over, and its not clear to me where I made my critical error. In terms of the questions, I clearly have a weakness in that I am getting better at looking at my opponent's weaknesses, but not at my own weaknesses. I need to put my own weaknesses more in my sights, and work at improving pieces when I perceive a weakness of mine.
