Can you guys analyze my game

Hi everyone, I am a beginner chess player (obviously lol) who is trying to improve his game.  However, I can't seem to get better.  I can't seem to break rating 1000 (which really really sucks yuck), and I seem to have recently dipped into a huge slump (I've recently been beat by players as low as 700 in rating ).  I'm here because I really don't know whats wrong with my game (obviously a lot including the rook blunder but I want to know the key pieces that are holding me back).  Please help and thanks to you all (how are you all so good lol)!

Right, so I will comment on everything I think is maybe wrong on the next post. Here are my other lines...

1. other first moves better control the center.

2. after alternate 8.c4, we have a "reverse grunfeld position" that I think is advantageous for white

3. after alt 13. Nc5, white will trade off your "good" bishop, and leave you with a weak dark square bishop, and weak on the light squares

4. a sample line, including the trap of alt 17. Rxd4

5. he blundered, but it's still not so easy for him. your knights are placed well in the center and your pawn is a big threat. his knight is also way out of the picture, making it easier to overwhelm the rook

Other than those suggestions, you played a pretty good game. You saw the final tactics to finish them off. not a terrible game overall, but may I ask what the time control was?

A few positional tips:

Don't let pieces linger in your territory. 9...h6 was called for, to evict White's bishop.

Don't move the same units twice in the opening (12...Bg4) until you've completely developed, unless you know what you're doing or unless it's tactically needed. This is by far the most common beginner's mistake.

It's better to centralize rooks and to oppose the opponent's rooks, therefore 13...Rad8 would have been better than 13...Rac8.

P.S.--Great tactics!

This looks like a nice game to me. Your opening was solid, nice development and when white made errors you took advantage. You spotted some nice tactics also. So if you want advice on areas to improve you should post a loss, particularly one without an obvious blunder or where you had a worse position but weren't sure why or what you could have done differently.

Thanks guys!  Epchessguy, the time setting was 15|10.

Also sorry yeah now I realize that using a game I lost would be much more beneficial.  Hold on, I'll go lose a game right now.

???  What do you mean

I hate myself.  Look at this .

So...Were you in time pressure at the end? OK you are losing the queen but 33.gxh6 Rxh6+ 34.Qxh6 Nxh6 still leaves you with 2 rooks vs 2 knights and 3 extra pawns for white where you should be able to win still. So Kg8 was a decisive mistake. I prefer 2.e6 vs 2.Bc4 to blunt the bishop but ok nothing wrong with the way you went. 7.f5 looks interesting to give yourself more room. eg. 8.exf5? Bxg2. Possibly a bit risky but anyway. After you parried the kingside threats and won the queen nicely 25.f5 looks wrong, you just lose this pawn to Nxf5. Good thinking to smash open the position but you didn't prepare it. The bishop is out of play on a4 so bring it to d7 and then play f5. Concentrate all your forces on what you want to do. 26.Qf6...I think Qe7 was better. The knight is coming Nxf5 but if the queen is out of the way on e7 you can go Rxf5 and eliminate this annoying horse if you want. At this point you have queen vs knight so you can afford to give up material to make life easier. 28.Bb3 is wrong. Obviously white is planning Rh1 he has nothing else. So Be8 planning Bg6 covering h7 nullifies his only threat. You are winning so its more important to squash counterplay than go after more material. Over the 2 games you posted here you show good tactical awareness and a decent understanding of piece placement IMO and are a better player than your rating suggests.

1st game white missed mate instead of gxf4 should have played Rd8 mate

It's check so Rd8 not possible.

Yeah, in my opinion, overall your moves are a lot better than the 1125 rating would indicate.

This game was played at a much higher quality than 1100. Definitely a game to be proud of.

Be attentive my friend. Some of your mistakes stem from lack of positional awareness. 

Game 1:

Move 12, doesn't accomplish anything, Move 13, he has you pinned and once he plays c3 he gets a free pawn (look ahead, I'd suggest moving the queen out of the way), Move 22, blunder (calculate to the end and you'd see you will be down the exchange)

Game 2:

Goal is to try and get his dark squared bishop to weaken his squares

Move 8 weakens light squares (d5), better is e6

Move 11 Nd7 not really necessary unless you want to go f5, I could go for the b5 break and then see what happesn

Move 25 just loses a pawn, calculate it out

Move 29, just take on a2 with check with rook, don't be scared that he can take on h7 if you have check, just go h6 after check

Move 31 d5, just loses a pawn

Overall:

You want to keep your bishop that is opposite of most of your central pawns, so in game 1 pawns are e5 and d4, you want to keep the light squared bishop. game 2 it is your light squared bishop

You want to trade off his good bishop, the one that is opposite the pawns

game 2 it is his light squared bishop

Try to attack the direction in which your pawn chain is facing.

If you have pawns of f6 e5 d4, queenside, and study opening and get the general idea of which side

Calculate more than 1 or 2 moves ahead, and don't just drop random pieces. This is what tactics are for, try to have a purpose in each move and don't make moves that seem right, calculate. 

Dude.... forget positional play for a second. Stop blundering (easier said than done, I know). Practicing tactics and improving your tactical vision are going to help a lot more than seeing why a move lost you a few centipawns.

please dont exchange the materials so quickly; let the position get well, go on forcing the pressure . let the game goes on with pressure to the end games.
