Well, kiddo, considering the fact that being 1800 strength puts you in the top 10% of USCF players, things could be much much worse for you...especially considering the fact that you're "already" (shouldn't that be "only"?) 10! Most people would be quite happy to "suck" like that (I didn't get to be an A player until I was 16).

I agree ur being to hard on urself mate. If u want to refine ur skills u would have to find a master who can coach and mentor u, someone who can examine ur games and ur style and weaknesses and strength with u all of that. Nearly all the really good masters and grandmaster did it that way. I think in person for u would be better then trying to help u online personally but i could be wrong. Dont ask me over the board ur probably better then me hahaha....
