No, you never wrote that. However, your archive discloses that you are not very active here, three games in a month.
One of the most important things in chess is being able to explain why you make a move. Think to yourself: I make this move because... Try not to hang any pieces, do anything stupid. Develop in the opening and don't try to attack too early unless you are 100% it will pay off. Learning openings isn't necessary yet at your stage. If you play 1. e4 e5 the chances are slim that anybody at your level will think: Hmm, I'm gonna play the Berlin defence now! Just play many games and do many tactics. After your game, look it up again and check what you could have done better and why you didn't think of that at the time.
That'll improve you. Openings, common endgames, strategy etc is more advanced. Basics first!
Tactics, tactics, tactics! At least that's what I think people say to beginners.

When i registered i couldynt find live chess games so i forgot about this acc now i came back and found about live chess option so i am going to play here a lot.
Like i told i think about the mowes 2-3 times before i actually do something
I read a lot about after game analyze your game but I dont understand what i done wrong everything seems normal
Get yourself a good book of basic mating paterns and study it daily.
Pick up Chernev's books "Logical Chess: Move By Move" and "The Most Instructive Games of Chess Ever Played;" and play through every game several times, reading all of the text. Take what you read with a grain of salt as some of the comments are dated, but largely those won't matter till you're much better.

make a plan. look for mistakes in the opponent' play. try to "build" a position and then start attacking
i would advise to play aggresive, but it depends on your style
Getting advice is easy. The hard part is figuring out whose advice to follow.
I knew you would show up.
Welcome to my world. Just sit back and enjoy the ride. Getting good at chess could take a while.
Always analyze your games, and play chess wholeheartedly
Always work at your weak squares, and calculate all the possible moves
If you are distracted, always quote "be here now" and put your focus in the board
Way to go Jethro.

When I read the title to your post, the first qestion came to mind, how long have you played chess, well, you answered, do not worry you are right on track!
Try thinking a move ahead and what your opponent could do to hurt your chess Army!
The bait is in the water pal and they are circling it.
1)Your opponent is most likely sane. Thus, any "useless moves" he makes are 90% of the time detrimental to you or beneficial to him(blunders and special circumstances constitute the 10%, of course). Find out these detriments and benefits and deal with them.
2)Your pawns are important. How many times should I say this. Your pawns are important. Get them into an inverted V and dominate.
3)The centre four squares, while in my opinion overrated, ARE important.
4)Unless you're Bobby Fischer or something, a side attack is generally inadvised. The side consists of a poison pawn, a dangerous knight who will kill most close range attacks, the second most powerful piece on the board and in some cases a sneaky Bishop.
5)Bishop=Long Range, Knight=Short Range, and that's how you use to decide whether to trade pieces or in a fork/skewer/pin situation involving those pieces.
6)When attacking pieces, get at them from places they can't reach. A Knight is suitable for most pieces, practically anything can kill a Pawn, diagonal attacks for Rooks, vertical/horizontal attacks for Bishops and traps and nets for Knights.
7)Practice
8)Find an opening that's suitable for your use, that you like and that isn't the Ruy Lopez(if Black plays Pa6 you will not like it). If there are counters to said opening, memorise them and memorise how to negate or destroy them. If all counters are unstoppable, find another opening.
9)Learn the common counters and tricks, such as the pawns on the A and H files being poisoned(due to that !@#%ing Rook), the Centre Counter and why a pawn moved two spaces into the centre four squares must be defended from the opponent's Knight.

Fred Reinfeld's 1000 Checkmates and/or 1000 Winning Sacs and Combinations would be good for learning tactics and combos.
Hey all
1 month ago I learned how to mowe the pieces then i rely started to enjoy the game even addicted anyway. I loose a lot yes i know its normal too loose a lot at the beggining but i just can't get my mistakes. I fairly read a lot about chess. The openings i know and play are Spanish , Nizmowich Lanser Attack , Scandinavian defense , Modern Stobewall Dutch defense. Marshal attack and others. I always think twice about doing a mowe I just can't understand the middle game any tips would be appreciated
