Stop playing blitz. I don't understand why people play fast chess. Would you want a heart surgeon to cut you up in blitz seconds and fix an artery?
Come on people, speed doesn't get you busty chicks, laid, or free pizza. Think this stuff out and be smart. Use your oodles of noodles upstairs while you can still doodle and walk your poodle.
Your mistake was allowing black to open the b file. You should have taken axb4, then black would be blocking itself.
Your attack was much too slow and badly co-ordinated, Omega-Doom. The opening gives you an automatic plus so why jeapordise that by castling opposite. The plan with Bf4 and Q d2 is also too slow, not incisive enough and it badly misplaces your queen, considering your attack with h2-h4-h6 etc. Don't run before you can walk. So don't castle opposite wings, which hands your opponent the chance to attack you. The Bf4 idea was poor because it commited your bishop perhaps to the wrong square. Attack in the centre maybe, by centralising your rooks against your opponent's queen.
no it's not normal, you're a noob bro. Sorry :/

Because they enjoy it. DUH.
Don't forget to thank me by sending money to my bank account.

He went for a wrong plan but the biggest reason he lost was 11.a3. Moving the pawns in front of your king is always risky and should only be done with good reason but there is almost never a good enough reason in positions with oposite castling. In this instance it just made opening lines easier for black.
Then 16.Qh2 if 16...b4 17.Bc4+ Kh8 18.e5 and whites attack looks stronger. Black probably has better moves but with how your opponent played this is likely how the game would have progressed.
Yes, sounds good. Probably not so long time ago i could have found this simple plan but now i'm frustrated and not confident because so many losses. And speaking about a3 I probably should have moved my knignt intead of this one but again i lost my confidence already and could not think clearly.
Really? Why do you think it's bad? I won many games before with that simple plan. Do you suggest to play quietly here but how can we prove that d6 was bad then? This position is similar to dragon sicilian where white is also supposed to castle queen side and go for black's king but here is big plus with closed c file. I still think this plan promises much for white it's just me who messed up. It's only one of many examples where i messed up terribly. I was playing many games last time and probably i became complacent and fed up of chess.
no it's not normal, you're a noob bro. Sorry :/
It's ok, let it be. How can you explain that my rating was 1540 not so long time ago? Was i lucky and overrated. But how did it happen to be so lucky? I was 1400-1500 not few but many games. You can see it in my profile. And you can see a comment on my page of EdinburghRook who accused me of cheating which is not true of course. I beat him twice and he is 1680 now.
I have seen the game ,you played very normally untill you allowed a series of moves that lead to Bb2 ,it's obvious that your understanding of chess is good,and your problem is with tactics,I don't mean you should train tactically,it's just a notice
Even in blitz, it's probably best to calculate. In the game, opening Black's K position can be done but it takes time. At 10... b5, it's pretty clear that the Black attack's going to come first. In super fast blitz, I guess you might have to wing it but otherwise it's probably worth some think time to try to hinder Black. 11. a3 was a start but it weakens the dark squares so nullifying the g7B is needed. Probably needed for the attack anyway. Without the B, Black still has attacking chances but probably less imminent which could give time to press yours. Not sure if in the text Black knew the position well, just calculated it or just lucked into beating you to the punch.
Check out Fischer-Larsen 1958 Dragon, for an example of having to fend off K threat before cracking Black's setup and Karpov-Korchnoi 1974 Dragon for busting Black when his attack is slow.
As for drop in rating points, it's possible that when your rating went up you went for a higher rating by trying to "beat" the tougher competition. Since blitz (and even standard) games are most usually lost by a player due to a terrible move or sequence or a bad plan rather than won by the opponent, by trying to hard to win, you come up with a tricky plan that takes too long or leaves pieces or squares too vulnerable. A situation not difficult to take advantage of by a good player. After a few of those losses, confidence sinks which also doesn't help. Might want to go over some of your recent losses and look for that tendency.
Thank you Nckchrls. I feel if i want to play better then i need to study more. I need to study my games and games like you mentioned and maybe to play longer games as well. I'm just puzzled why before it was enough to have my current knowledge and now it's absolutely not. I went to lose even more and my only victory should have been a loss because my sacrifice was absoltely incorrect but my opponent messed up and i checkmated him in one move. This game was very poor again. Lately even if i lost but usually it was on time with good or better position but now quality of my chess has deteriorated and i'm crashed from the oppening right away. Yasser Seirawan has recommended a good strategy book but i forget its name.
Another inspiring game from me.
Looks like i need to give up chess. This game is too much for me.
^Jesus.
I'll admit this happened to me in bullet very recently when I dropped from over 1500 to ~1330 in 2 days! it's got better though. I've recovered my rating. It will get better for you too, but I suggest staying off blitz for a while.
why even h6? h5 is like so obvious

I have no idea. 
Games like this are not exception for me, especially this time. I can play decent game all moves except last one. It's so upset to commit a lot of energy and time into vain. 
Don't give up chess. You obviously enjoy it very much. I don't have half the experience as all the other people that have posted in your blog, but my humble opinion is perhaps you want to win too much. I find that my game deteriorates quickly when I am afraid to lose, or I don't win against somebody I feel I should have annihalated. Perhaps playing many games against much stronger opponents and getting used to losing might help? I have countless friends who have stopped playing a game they enjoy (and were even good at) just from fear of losing. Dont worry; be happy, mon!
Hello. Is it normal to fluctuate 300 points? it's very strange but not so long time ago i had 1500 rating in blitz and now looks like to hold 1200 is difficult for me. I don't feel that i'm playing very differently from past but in past i crashed most people and now i'm crashed. And i have no idea what is going on. I lost my last 9 games in a row. Look at one of them. Man you just hav bad time. Maybe you have some problems in life and that reflects on your game. That happens to me all the time. You must concetrate, forget about you real problems and try to win a game.
This game is shame. I played it agains a guy who i beat twice before and now he beats me without any chance. Also i'm not happy with sicilian anymore. Previously i won more games with black then with white because of it and now i'm outplayed completely. And i continue losing on time as usual. Now before a game started i have a feeling that i will more likely lose. What would be your advice? Stop playing since it's absolutely hopeless now? Study something?
Promoted the pawn on wrong square. It was mate next move. You need some time off. Well played before the blunder.
Edit : Mate in a few moves, not 1.

Yes, i saw that i'm a rook up and went for it immediately.
Hi Omega_Doom,
If you need to improve then you must learn to play blunder less game in slow format of the game. In blitz where you do not have much time to ponder over the moves- its the knowledge accumulated through study & past experiences, and pattern recognition that comes to rescue.
There were some mistakes in game 1 (Philidor defense) & game 2 (Sicilian defense). It is apparent that you did not played the opening as you should have played with white and therefore failed to obtain an advantage. It happens perhaps when one is not well versed in theory.
I will here show you how to tackle the line you played as white against Philidor defense to obtain an advantage.
Most important of all- keep playing chess no matter what the results are. You learn more from the mistakes. Cheers!
