Sometimes we need to laugh so we don't cry. This is a great place to post a silly blunder or something funny that happened in one of your games. Please be supportive!
Here's one from a game of mine against a GM. I just played a bad move and my GM opponent resigned. Can you spot what we both missed about the position?

Training schedule: How have you organized your training schedule? What have you learned that works for you and what doesn't work for you?
Goal setting and weekly progress: How do you identify your goals and check your progress towards them on a weekly basis?
Let's discuss and if you are stuck on something related to the above, ask for help so that we can elaborate and improve together.

This forum hopes to share games where players have played brilliant moves that changed the course of the game or have overlooked a move that might have given them the better advantage. Brilliant moves are amazing to play and make players confident in there calculations. Most of the times it is that lower rated and some high rated players tend to sacrifice pieces which turnout to be blunders ! This forum hopes to tackle how players must think before sacrificing a piece for an advantage or even a WIN !!
