another great video, thank you! I completely missed that sequence to trap the queen. I think this was more a tactical weakness on my part compared to the other game's blunder situation

I've published one game review on my channel, from one of your early losses. It's pretty basic, turned on one blunder where you threw away your queen, losing an early advantage.

Slow WAYYY down is my best advice.

Don't just go through the motions. In daily games, you should analyze the position so hard that you know it like the back of your hand. Use the analysis board.

Thanks for the tips! I seem to play better on the dailies than live..it is hard to adjust for the speed

Slight mistakes could cost one a game as i have come to know. You just have to understand that every pieces is important; a Pawn is important as a queen is to you in your chess ranks. Every piece has to watch out for its comrade. Get your eyes in every part of the board.

It is okay to can't win a game still. If you are tired of can't winning a game you can join my club called Chess.com Lovers.

Think of it. If you can not win a game forever. You can not think, because it is impossible. Isn't it?

"... Sure, fast games are fine for practicing openings (not the most important part of the game for most players) and possibly developing decent board vision and tactical 'shots', but the kind of thinking it takes to plan, evaluate, play long endgames, and find deep combinations is just not possible in quick chess. … for serious improvement ... consistently play many slow games to practice good thinking habits. ... I know that a large percentage of my readers almost exclusively play on the internet - after all, you are reading this on the internet, right!? But there is a strong case for at least augmenting internet play with some OTB play, whether in a club or, better yet, a tournament. ... I would guess that players who have never played OTB usually gain 50-100 points of playing strength just from competing in their first long weekend tournament, assuming they play five or more rounds of very slow chess. ... Don't have two day? Try a one-day quad (a round-robin among four similarly rated players). ..." - NM Dan Heisman (2002)
