I lost this game, completely!

 

I violated lots of openiong principles, like bringing Queen early... moving peices quite a few peices early. But, what do you think was main weakness here?
And I didn't annotate this game much, because to me all my moves are lookignliek stupid from retrospect.

I think this post is a really telling example of why a lot of players don't improve. It seems as though you are looking for us to tell you the one weakness that would set the whole game right if corrected. This is faulty thinking. Chess is a system, so the collective effect of the moves makes it a good or bad game. Sure, there are outright blunders, but more often we lose because we play a string of moves with "I dont know why i did it" as their basis. You yourself tell us that you violated opening principles, brought the queen out too early, and made too many aimless moves. Then you proceed to ask us what else. You have just told us! Smile If you would be interested in some training games, just let me know.
