Can you put the game on the forum

Not sure how to do that .

Hi underdagun--that game was appropriate for your rating with some errors and lucky chances on both sides.  Rather than focus on a particular move, let's talk about overall ideas.  Your modern opening, attacking the center from a distance, is tricky at your level because it takes precise timing.  It's easy to get crushed by white's central pawns and you may want to explore more direct options like 1...d5 or 1...Nf6 as well.  For the rest, just try to become consistent in seeing the entire board.  If it's not a blitz game, take time to examine all possible moves by your opponent.  Some are murky, but look for any obvious hanging pieces or attacks on your own army.  See what isn't defended and that will lead the way to basic tactics.  Brush up on those until your understanding of forks, pins, skewers, and discoveries is solid.  When starting out it's easy to focus on just one area of the board, certain pieces, or a particular strategy when the position is constantly changing.  But start by looking one move ahead: what's not defended?  What doesn't have anywhere to go if it's attacked?  What is the purpose of the opponent's last move?  Once you can do that, apply it to seeing 2-3 moves ahead.  With practice from there you'll grow into positional play and a wider understanding of the opening/middlegame.

Thanks pentium . I used that opening to attack his pawns I like using my bishops. What other openings would have been good

It's a good opening, underdagun, but it can be tricky to play against experienced opponents.  It comes from a newer school of thought that says, "Don't occupy the center directly--let the opponent grab space and then strike back at the right moment."  So white is allowed to get pawns to d4, e4, even c4 or f4--he often ends up with a large wall of 3-4 pawns controlling the middle of the board.  You don't have to abandon it completely of course, but certain moves do take that approach of directly occupying the center and some people find them easier to play.  1...d5 is very popular, stopping white from grabbing space with 2. e4 as mentioned.  1...Nf6 does the same thing.  Then you can use pawn moves to e6, b6, g6, etc. to develop your bishops in a number of ways.  The light-squared one can go to b7, f5, or g4 depending on white's setup; the other can go most anywhere like g7, e7, d6, c5, or b4.  Small opening missteps aren't a crucial part of the game at this level, so it's worth experimenting to see what happens.

Thankyou ! How do I download that game to show like u did

So 6. Nxd5 or Bxd5 are if I made the continuation with Bb7 and the pawn was still on d5 ?

Not bad for834
