I went and looked at your last 2 recent games and on both games you blundered your queen twice. Here's some quick advice for players in your rating:
- Try not to move your queen too early in the game, because your opponent is going to bully your queen and you might lose your queen. In this example, black tricked white and captured queen.
- Develop your pieces by activating the bishops and the knights, then try to castle, and finally try to connect your rooks.
- Before you capture your opponent's pieces ask yourself "Is it safe to capture this piece?" If not, do not capture it. In this example, white took a pawn but lost his knight.
- Ask yourself, is this a safe square to move to? If not, do not move your piece there. In this example, white bishop moved to an open square protected by black queen and lost bishop.
- Make sure your pieces are protected. That means, if your opponent captures your pieces, you can capture them back. If your opponent is attacking your piece TWICE you must protect it TWICE. If you don't protect your pieces, your opponent will capture it for free. In this example, knight moves to unsafe spot because bishop captures knight and if bishop captures bishop queen captures bishop and nothing can capture the black queen. Black wins the exchange because black captured 2 pieces and white only captured 1 piece.
In summary:
1. Don't move queen too early
2. Develop your pieces
3. Don't capture unless it's safe
4. Don't move to unsafe squares
5. Protect your pieces
