Advice on how to get better



Thousands and thousands of games. You get used to openings and even have a few ideas on taking a cheeky pawn in the beginning. Most people lose thereafter as they are so worried about the minus one point that they seem to not concentrate.

Don't give up either. Check out my last ten minute game. I was playing like a newbie. Can't say why but suddenly the opportunity presented itself and I won. So always ignore what has happened and push on👍
