Journey to Chess Master #2

The struggle.  Since my last blog post, my rating has dropped tremendously, which is strange because other aspects of my game have improved, such as tactics.  My overwhelming problem is winning won games.  I constantly get good positions and don't take advantage of it.  There were a few games that really hit me hard.  One, I had a mate in 6 and drew.  Another I had a mate in 20, and had a great position according to the computer and I lost.  I feel like my chess game is getting better, but at the same time, my rating dropped 90 points.  It has been really frustrating because it seems like I stop thinking once I get a good position.   Anyway, here are the highlights from my recent games.
