Tips for improving?

Hi guys can anybody help me in improving my game? This is my most recent game here in Chess.com. Thank you in advance!

Tip: Don't post your wins. Post your losses.

At this point whatever you do will improve your game. Hit a plateau over 1300 and ask again.

Thank you for the replies! This is my very first post and I only discovered the game analysis forum today so I am very sorry if I posted my win. Oh and another question how can I see my games that I played a few months ago since my game archives limits my games from August until September?

It is okay to post wins, but the problem with that is that it is harder to see mistakes. 

I put a game above where I had many mistakes, but I probaly mentally think those moves are not that bad since I won. 

In your lost posted above, watch how you create tripled pawns. It weakens your own attack. 

Also see how you are trying to break through his queenside. You are completely ignoring his attack on your kingside. Also remember to not hang your pieces. And also try to create a nice pawn structure, look at the difference in the two pawn structures. 

Yes, viewing further back in your archive is a premium feature. You have to buy a premium membership to see all your games.

Thank you for those tips! I'll make sure to watch out for those next time.

Thank you for replying about the game archives!

I agree with notmtwain: Look at your losses for mistakes you made that cost you games. Tactical puzzles were helpful for me, like the ones on this site (I get unlimted access as a diamond member) or ones available from chess books. They helped me learn to see opportunities more quickly on a chess board. My rating is still low, but I'm studying openings and end games, too. If you don't have access here to videos, You Tube has a lot of nice chess videos on openings and end game skills. Finally, do what I haven't been doing lately (but plan to start): Keep playing so you can put the skills you are learning into practice against live opponents. Don't get frustrated when you lose. It's part of learning. Good luck! Chess is a great game.

Thank you for those suggestions! My questions about the game I posted was in move 12 O-O because I'm not sure if I made the right move or if I should have continued my attack. And also thank you imsighked2! I'll make sure to follow your suggestions!

Ah I see so I need to use all of my pieces in the attack and see if I have a better move. Sorry for the late reply I have a disease called a foot and mouth disease or something.

Train tactics (acquire a set of several hundred very simple examples of all the main motifs and go through them repeatedly until you recognize them instantly, and only then move on to intermediate level puzzles), train basic endgames (practice against a computer or friend repeatedly until you jnow them by heart), and train thought process. www.danheisman.com is all you need to know, Dan is the undisputed champion of teaching how to I prove at chess. You need *very few* books. An opening encyclopedia, endgame encyclopedia, endgame course, beginner tactics, beginner strategy, collections of master games annotated for beginners. Play slow games, play fast games, review your games with a strong player. Rinse, repeat, and you can get to expert in a few years.

Thanks for the tips and website. I'll make sure to check it out later.
