Well i HATE online chess, i make my move when i am notified its my turn; then spend 3 days waiting 4 the enemy 2 come on-line. AND this is why my rating sucz lol, what i need to do is spend at least five minutes or much longer each day looking at the position b4 i make my move. I have 3 days! so stop playing 'blitz' chess, analyse it and work out your plan...

Online chess is supposed to be correspondence chess. Spend an hour or more on each move.

I have no problem learning mistakes. I'm practically a world champion at making mistakes. It's making GOOD moves that I find difficult.
I agree about Blitz. Playing Blitz is good for your Blitz... but I suspect that it's bad for your chess in general.

I've taken a quick skim through your blog on HobbyDeck.
One bit of advice that I can offer is that it's much too early for you to choose an opening system to play "for life". As a player who is still developing their chess abilities towards their full potential, your style has not yet matured. You don't yet know which type of opening systems will fit your style because... to be brutally honest... a player of your strength has not yet developed a playing style.
Certainly you should choose a set of openings to play for now, and the four that you have chosen are good enough... but you should be open to the idea of switching to some other set of openings once your own personal playing style begins to manifest itself.
I could probably give you some tips on one of the openings that you've chosen... the KIA (King's Indian Attack). I have been playing that opening fairly regularly for years.

Not many 50 year olds are born in 1987.

Yes i agree with you totally, i have no style except my personal style and that is 'blundering' style. I need to start somewhere so i have picked the caro-kann as a solid defensive system b/c it is far simplier than the heavy theory Sicilian, is not a flank game and not as closed as the French. Plus it works against anything White might hit me with. The Veresov and Scotch openings are reliable enough for me for a long time to come and then i will move towards the Catalan (KiA) [Kings Indian Attack] as a variety and those three other flank openings 1... g6,1. b3, and 1... b6. These are all unusual openings for me to investigate to stay away from the popular modern openings that people know and have used for many many years. But for a start i need 'normal' openings for a long time and will not play flank openings but as my personal style develops over the next few years i will have a good stable of openings to focus in upon more closely...

One of the mistakes i think beginners like me fall into time and again is that of trying to calculate future moves. I read a bit and study and am advised to calculate what is likely to happen in the next 1 or two moves.
For a beginner this is terrible advice so do not listen to it. Beginners do not calculate, its bad... Beginners need to work out their plan of what they are going to do and try and work out what the enemy is going to do, you do this during your opponents thinking time, when its your turn to move you look for tactics and then work out how you are going to avoid your blunders, thats what beginners need to do. Replay their games immediately afterwards and see why and how they blundered the game away, not to forsee different moves into the future; but stop their own mistakes...

Well i think beginners make certain mistakes. i feel i have; trying 2 find a plan 2 win. Frankly i am so busy trying 2 win games i am missing things, now i plan on NOT trying to win, now its about survival; stay alive longer by defeating my opponents plan and not blundering material or position. Now i am winning more games, by simply staying alive longer; let them make slip-upz...
