hi guys, I was hoping you could help analyse my game for me, i haven't played chess for ages, and i was never any good in the first place, i tried this game against chess.com on easy, and still lost! i think i just need to pay attention, to my opponents threats, and look to solidify my defence before wildly attacking!

thanks for your advice!

About you comment on move 2, I think you mean "free pawn". Still you are rigth in that everyone loves free porn.

An easy way to build confidence is to solve tactics problems. If you are unable to use the one on this site then there are many other free ones available around the net. Just google "tactics trainer."

Good luck.

Ok you see basic captures and threats so thats a good start. 
what you seem to be lacking are basic plans that last at least  few moves. Your too focused on grabbing material as a default "plan" Once you have gained a material advantage get ALL your remaining pieces out and just threaten trades that benefit your development or remove your opponents active pieces. Dont get fancy! I commented on a few moves below and offered some advice. ... . practice with 10 min games  5 minutes is ok too. work on the tactics trainer here or at chess tactics trainer (do a search it will pop up) review classical players games before 1930 to see how they develop. Focus on ONE simple strategical opening for each color. accelerated dragon, 4 knights scotch , and the tarrasch against d4.

at move 31 i was screaming: AAAAAAAAH YellYellYell

Careful where you move your lady.Yell Better luck next time! Have fun. And yeah, knights are sooooo tricky! Trigger extra alarm bells when they are around Smile

A beginner should not play the Sicillian. It is too complex. But maybe I'm biased because I always lose when I play the Sicillian.

Also, just focus on avoiding blunders and the easy computer will fall at your knees.

When someone is a queen for a piece up, the opponent is completely disorganized, and you eventually go on to lose, you can hardly blame the opening, the closing or Lee Harvey Oswald.

It simply means that you completely lack elementary playing skills, you don't pay attention to the opponents' threats, you cannot organize your forces efficiently, and all that crap.

Indeed, helltank's comment made me smile :)

To the OP, don't worry, we all started this way. You just have to practice. Don't waste a second studying openings, instead try to solve tactical problems, play a lot, and you will notice very fast improvement

hey thanks guys for all the advice, i'll certainly try to put it all into practice, i'll look after my pieces more, and double check all my moves. most of all i'll pay more attention!

 

@tonyh, thanks for all the effort analysing my game, i'll look over it a few time, to see how to improve my game

 

thanks again!

You answered your own question's

"i think i just need to pay attention, to my opponents threats, and look to solidify my defence before wildly attacking!"

It is said that Fischer didn't like playing "an opponent" - make sure you

eliminate your opponent's chances as far as possible...

Consider reviewing the following:

1. Basic opening principles ... i.e., center control, development, king safety

2. Tactics such as forks, skewers, removing the defender, and in-between moves

3. How to simplify a material lead into a won endgame

4. Endgame play (this type of study teaches basic relationships between pieces and helps one avoid forks and such in general play)

Unfortunately, that's one of the more common practices around here...looking at an 80-move game and just commenting on the first 3 moves (like it was all over from there). Smile

Chess teaches us:

      patience in the opening,

      patience in the middle game,

      patience in the endgame,

      patience when our rating sucks....
