Hi Fulcairee, what I suggest is that by dividing the game in opening, middle game and end game you should study your weakest of those three, then when they are even, studying an opening will throw them off balance again, but without backing down so its always on the gain side.
Best practices to improve chess

I am just playing my game without caring opening middle and endgame. All I am caring is about just logical moves. Even though i somewhat cares about just opening. That is to just develop the pieces by just bringing them out of their squares. Also i am just caring about material value. That is taking bishop or Knight with bishop that is to say 3 points for 3. Is this technique or behavior is bad. Can you just suggest
Me how to come out of this. Also i cannot make strategic planning but i know tactics and I can trap the oppents. So what i need to know is.
1)how improve middle and end games
2)how to improve strategic planning
3)how to make sacrifice for material gains.
Sorry for my bad English

- Play against slightly stronger human players that will beat you.
- Analyze every game you lose and figure out why you lost.
- Don't make the same mistakes again!
(also, play slower time controls, that will give you time to think)

The time controls aren't long enough here for me to improve. I don't go to any chess club. I enjoy correspondence but I've got so many games I'm thinking of deleting this account and starting a fresh but restricting it to like two, three games at most. The other day I calculated like a 13 move mate, it took me almost an hour to calculate because it involved a sac, an intermezzo to form the mating net and the tedious lines to make water tight due to the possible squares they could go to. I feel confident if I keep that up I'll definately improve. The next time I see that pattern I'll bang it out in 2 mins straight.

This isn't going to help me
In a nutshell, "my system" and calculating lines and if the position is favourable at the end is what's helping me the most. but it takes me too long in time. Hopefully it'll speed up now I'm realising if I spend so long calculating, the instant I see that again I'll move in an instant.

PLAY 2 STANDARD GAMES PER DAY WITH 'THINKING' ABOUT IT....AFTER THE GAME ANALYZE EVERY MOVES PLAYED AND THINK ABOUT THE BEST MOVE AND REPLIES OF THAT IN EVERY POSITION.IT WILL TAKE AROUND 1H

ANALYZE WITH BOARD SOME BASIC AND THEN OTHER OPENINGS...TRY TO LEARN AND INVENT NEW CONCEPTS IN MIDDLE GAME...LEARN TO CALCULATE THE PURE MATHEMATICS OF END GAME
