baconarmy17, when you make a move, you have to remember that you have an opponent and consider his response--especially CHECKS and CAPTURES. In your game against mathwiz_08 you hung a queen and a knight within six moves. The first step to improving is to stop throwing away pieces for free.
I would also encourage familiarizing yourself with opening principles.
ok well i usally use the standard queens bishop opening or kings pawn opening
but when i decide to attack im usally screwed
