Even though, I am not the best myself.. I am slightly higher rated. So maybe this can help you a bit. After reviewing a few of your games.. I noticed that you don't like to be fully developed before launching an attack and you like to put your queen out early. I was stuck at the same level for a while too. I played the same way. I thought a good plan of attack was to move the same piece twice durring an opening to catch them off guard and to bring the queen out early. Sometimes, you have to move a piece twice in the opening or you can for an advantage by doing so but mostly it seems good to have all of my pieces deployed before I strike. Sometimes its purposeful to bring the queen out early... but I must warn you.. its usually not. Also, another idea that will help you for sure.. if want to win more games, you need to cut down on blunders and when I say that, I am not talking about tactical oversights that you may have missed.. simply put, let less stuff hang. Ask your self questions like.. is my knight going to be safe? Find out weather its supported there or protected. Finding out a way to blunder less pieces will give you a rating boost for sure.

Btw, I didn't put this game through an engine. I just explained a few of my personal thoughts on the subject

Let's play a few games. Then we can do a post mortem analysis. I can also explain to you how I process my thoughts, so you can actually find the correct moves, instead of just seeing them in analysis.

I picked this up a little while ago and just stuck away, when my game goes in the toilet (it happens) I just look over this to see what I might be overlooking.

What might help you is if you watch this instructional video http://www.chess.com/video/player/live-sessions-the-most-instructive-game-ever 

Daniel Rensch gives probably the most instructive chess video lesson ever. You might get something from it. I know that I did

For your level you just have to understand he basic principles like develop pieces, don't bring your queen out early and try to control the centre. Another thing that'll help is to do some tactical puzzles anyway best of luck

One quick question are you serious about the 8 hour a day study or are you exaggerateing because that's basically like the whole day

This works for me:

Define "chess for fun" and "chess training". My own definition is, that chess training is active learning such as doing exercises, and "chess for fun" is pretty much everything else. So when I say I train chess for ½ hour, I do look at the chess board for more. When you have defined "chess training", try to set a goal, which is ambitious but not extreme, like half an hour of tactical exercises and half an hour of other kind of exercises.

I belive that the way to improvement is to try to play the best move all the time. That might explain my relative low blitz skills (I have 2100 ELo and has around 60% score against one of my 1600 ELO friends), but it really works. To understand what is the best moves, looking at alot of high level games and getting a feel for the position.

And obviously, tactic training never hurts. I gained 80 rating points in 2 tournaments after doing tactical exercises for ½ hour per school-day. Not enough for a statistical research, but it might say something.

At move 20, black's bishop is lined up against his king. So, 20. Bxg8, Rxg8 (Bxa3, Be6+) 21. Rc1 followed by b4 if needed will win back a piece. Get some basic books on tactical motifes, do them every day, and learn how to develop your pieces. Use tactical motives where possible as threats that speed up your development, rather than waste moves on threats that can be defended whilst your opponent improves their position. Get to the point that you can see moves that make double threats. Then your opponent can only defend against one of them.

stop hanging peices and notice when your opponent does and you will jump 300 points in few days i would have thought. i was your rating when i first started playing on here, in time you will improve given that you learn from mistakes and stay alert at the board, easier said than done though i agree :)
