Hi There, I just lost a couple of daily games. Did the analysis. Don't get it, I was playing through the day so not maximum concentration and I can see some errors but nothing really serious, they seemed fairly even games but slow at times on the part of my opponent so wondering if I played too much rather than wait it out. Anyway none of my friends from home play, so thanks for reading this far and some constructive comment or suggestions would be fantastic :)

For instance, this game was extremely wild. A lot of mistakes for both players, especially on your part. Many opportunities wasted. It happens of course, even in daily games. This is just a quick analysis, I am sure that more could be found here, but it is safe to say that it wasn't a good game by either player.

nklristic

In this game you are disregarding opening principles, playing with pawns and losing the game as a result. Your opponent doesn't really follow the opening principles either, but your play here is very reckless. 

My advice... develop as fast as you can, if you play with pawns do it with d and e pawns in a way to facilitate development, sometimes you can move your c pawn (if you are playing Sicilian of course, you'll have to). Image that the f pawn is nailed to the board for now. That is my advice. Play mainly with pieces and try to move them once only i9n the opening (unless you have to move them again in order not to lose them).

Nklristic thank you so much for amazing response in forum post and notes with the game analysis. I will study all carefully. Very much appreciate the objective point of view because I could not 'see the wood for the trees'

nklristic

You're welcome. That is all understandable. 

This might be helpful as well:

I tried to explain what to do in the opening as an improving player and what not to do, something like opening principles in practice. I hope it would be of some use to you.

Hi, I'm not a master or anything, but can I have a link to your games so I can see them and give advice?

Thanks for your contribution, @nklristic. It's cool to see efforts like that.

@OP, maybe it's good to lose like this. The better you get the smaller the differences, no huge blunders to fix, just incremental improvements to make.

Ok, I will go to your profile and view the games!!

So I saw your games, they were well played, with a very solid opening and good development, but I think that once its your turn, you should think about your move a little more, especially when you have a lot of time, so that you can see your opponents best move and yours. Make sure you are thinking about your opponents move as much (and even more) then you think about your move, because you should assume that your opponent will play the best possible move in every move. Also, make sure that you recheck your moves before you make them to make sure you are not making a blunder (small tip, do a lot of tactics!!). Other than that, you played some great games, and if you keep up the good work and persistence, you are bound to become a great player in no time!!!

Yxliang, Jtemple0, TCmaster21 thank you and all for good constructive comments. I should not be impatient to improve and accept bring a beginner, study the tactics, take care over moves; and as nklristic explained very kindly in detail understand and rigorously follow opening principles instead of risky opening play. And f pawn is nailed down. Thank you all again :) :tup

TCmaster21

No problem! Everyone starts off at a beginner level, but with a good amount of dedication and persistence, everyone has an amazing chance to get better!!!!
