hey all,
I played for a while on chess.com and try to improve by playing games and analyzing them after. However, I keep making mistakes. I try to take the time before making a move, but I still make these mistakes. I would like to improve till 1000 before new year.
Should I just keep playing like how I always do? (30 mins)
If you have another suggestions then I will be happy to hear them :)

hey nklristic, thx for you reply! I will definitely take a look and try to learn from it :)
Keep playing 30 minutes. Improvement takes time, and you will have ups and downs. What you could try to add more of though is asking about games you aren't sure how you lost. I took a look at one of your recent losses, which ended up being fairly interesting. Some of the situations got complicated, but I found there were things to notice. There are always things people miss, use those reviews at the chance to see what you need to watch out for so you miss it less.

hey catmaster, thank you very much for the analysis, it is very helpful! during this game I gave away my queen which I was a bit shocked about when it happened. your analyses shows where my missed opportunities are and that is exactly what i am struggling with. I will your analyses definitely too strenghten my other games!
do you go over your games when you are finished?
every good player- even when they stream- will do a post mortem even if it is 10 seconds long
if you play 30 min games give everything you have in that game- win, lose, or draw
and then do a thorough annotation afterwards- annotation is more like giving a summary of your feelings, fears, ideas, etc
and progress to analysis (giving lines and various reasons why things work or they dont)
if you are able to do this via chess.com site and offer this to the forums for others to help and offer their input you will get the maximum out of your 30 min games
and if you do a good after game workout you only need one game a day
if you are playing 10 30min games a day then something isnt right
good luck

hey daxypoo, after my games i will analyse my games by looking up my blunders and mistakes, and trying to understand the best move instead. However, I also have the feeling that I can improve by playing those moves again and trying to guess my opponents next move. I havent done that yet, but I certainly will. I will take your advice to play less games, and play with more give-everything-you-have feeling! thank you for your reply, it really is a help!
