You are deliberately ignoring what I am asking of you.

You entirely missed the 'constructive' part of constructive criticism, and instead jumped directly to the criticism. I would like advice on how to improve, not derogatory remarks.

Wow, only once? Guess you’re better than me I’ve gotten below 50 before, 1700.

that game gave me a seizure, maybe you should

learn your openings

see basic hanging pieces (pawns)

be a bit more agressive and dont just sit back when the npc decides to play the london

I don't see anywhere in the game where they hung any pieces or failed to take any "free pieces". After 15.a5 if white plays 16.Nxa5, black can play 16.Rxb2 and infiltrate on the queenside. For 17.a3, taking the pawn just hangs the rook behind it. Taking a pawn with 22.Nxc3 is just bad as white can apply more pressure on the pinned knight with 23.Qd2 or 23.Qd3. And 26.Rxf2 sacrificing the knight to start a counterattack on the white king was necessary. Playing 26.Nxf2 allows 27.Qh7 Kf7 28.Kxf2 where white forces your king out and captures your knight as well. Retreating with 26.Nh6 simply allows 27.Rxh6, taking advantage of the pin. 26.Nf6, while seemingly fine at first glance, allows white to play 27.Ke2 followed by 28.Rcg1 applying massive pressure on the black king's defenses. They didn't hang anything at all.

look at his progress over 90 days (top)

¨and your accuracy is about 70-75 and you call him bad for getting 86 he is going places¨

@1 don’t have much time rn, but move 2…Nc6 doesn’t make sense in d4 openings, avoid blocking the c-pawn please !!

Ah, I'm glad you are now resorting to insults because your pride has been hurt. Your toxic comments have been disproven, and your inflated opinion of yourself has been popped. If you have nothing constructive to say, leave the forum.

Thank you in advance.

@Six_Pack_of_Flabs we can play sometime later today maybe if you want a bit more specific advice, I think I do better with that…

Indeed. It's usually best to not play Nc6 this early in the game so that c5 is available for you. D and C pawns go hand-in-hand in a lot of d4 openings.

Yeah, my lunch isn't for a while. If you put your time zone and what time you can be on, I'll see if it works for me. thumbup

In general, follow game principles. Knight generally should not block the c pawn. Take towards the center to control more central squares. Look for central pawn breaks that can open up the position to your advantage. Improve pieces such as knights by looking for forward movements. Otherwise, you didn’t play too badly.

OP, simply block this poster (which prevents him from typing here),as he has nothing of serious concern to say. I’ve noticed it in other threads too.

100% agree with this, principles put in practice get results.
