The exact position will (nearly) never exist in your games.

But root patterns of a tactic happen all the time.

Pay attention to the themes like forks, pins, and discovered checks. You should be thinking in terms of that during your games.

And tactics train you to calculate forcing moves. If one more order doesn't work, you calculate a different move order to see it that works. That is also something you should apply to your games.

Tactics train some basic analysis skills. In a tactic when one move order works, you doubled check it by considering different moves for the other player that might make your solution false. This is also something you should apply to your games.

Can u please check my previous game... Other than last move blunder... What wrong i did in terms of position...cause i had very bad position

In the opening you lost control of the center. The queen's gambit accepted can be sharp so be sure you know some moves. You played 6...Nb4 which loses the knight to the basic tactic 7.Qa4+ If you keep playing this opening that can mean some good lessons in the future, but also consider playing the queen's gambit declined. When white is playing d4 + c4 the queen's gambit declined is just d5 e6 Nf6 Be7 0-0 and at some point in the middlegame you will try to play c5.

---

c5 (at some point, not necessarily the opening) is normal in most 1.d4 d5 games actually, so your 4th move 4...Nc6 is... it's not bad but I think it makes the position harder for you to play because it blocks the c pawn. Consider playing, for example, 4...e6 and then 5...c5. This will lead to a more normal kind of position and should be easier to navigate too.

14...Qxf3 was shows you were very distracted by making threats and capturing material Not many strong players would even consider this move. They would play Be7 and 0-0 without giving it much thought. The f3 pawn is not only weak (you can probably win it later) but it's part of a doubled pair (so capturing it doesn't really change anything). It's like winning half a pawn instead of castling which is silly

Castling, as I'm sure you know, is a big part of the opening. Develop quickly and castle. Develop quickly and castle. Develop quickly and castle. It's very important! But this game you didn't castle at all. That's a big problem if you're doing this in many games.

Other than that, your position was actually fine half the time. If you'd focused on opening principals in the beginning (the center, development and castle) then the middleagme would have been a lot easier for you.

Ok let me try one more game

I see you lost pretty quickly. That may have been disappointing.

Let me show you one of my games where I was black.

 

 

Actually this isn't one of my games... it's more like three of my games.

I lost this way 3 times before I decided I'd never lose this way again (f6 is a bad move).

You can be a great player, but to do so requires surviving > 10,000 losses. Some of them humiliating losses. Every top GM has losses like this is his past. Don't let it discourage you happy.png

See my latest now😅😅😅

Can we play one match?

llama44

Sure.

Siddhanth492

So what u think about the game... I think i missed something in my attack... Can u help me how i should have continued the attack?

llama44

When you're a piece up you don't need to continue the attack, you can just win a basic endgame.

But for example 31...Nxg2 is pretty easily winning.

Siddhanth492

Ohhh... Now that u mention it... I usually lose at endgames😅... So i try to take as much advantage as possible in mid game... So were u playing seriously?

llama44

Sure, I was mostly serious. That's probably about 80% as good as I can play at least. And then after I was down a piece I was trying harder. For a lot of moves you gave me the impression of being a pretty good player.

Siddhanth492

Thank youu... I was really trying very hard tho😅

Maybe we can again later?

I think playing higher rated opponents help me by actually putting efforts in defending and attacking

llama44

Oh, after 31...Nxg2 32.Nxg2 Nh4 33.Nce3 Bxe3 34.fxe I didn't notice the queen defend g2. So I dunno. I'm not so good at attacks. Use an engine to find forcing lines.

But i can't implement in actual matches

Wrong! The combination it will be always there. No matter you have or not material advantage or a better position, no matter even the coordination between your pieces, a game of chess is full of tactics opportunities. In order to find them (or even better to create the opportunity) you need to practice all typos of combinations. There are combinations books where every chapter is a typo that you can repeat enough in order to learn it. Also if you want to learn how to use the pieces at full potential, work the endings.

Kraig

Playing lots of tactics helps your pattern recognition to the point that you'll start to spot threats, ideas and combinations that you wouldn't have otherwise even been aware of if you didn't see them repeatedly in tactics/puzzles. 

Siddhanth492

Lok i think i understand

Krumov001

You should work the patterns from the tactics books, one good book with all the tactics schemes/patterns will be enough. After that you should work on the games analysis. Both should be done without moving the pieces. Game analyze is better with others, alt least one with higher chess classification if possible. Game analyze won't work without knowing the endings.
