 I've been through this. I think it's either over-concentration, or exhaustion. You get into a good position by playing well, but that takes a lot of effort and then you kind of lose it for a while, whilst your opponent has limited options and thus an easier game for a while. Am slowly getting out of that rut now. Good luck.

I took a look at a few of your most recent games. You do hang a lot of pieces. One instance you hung a night and your opponent missed it, you left it hanging and your opponent took it the following move leading you to resign. It's important to take a look at what pieces are defended or which need extra defence. Also, think about what your opponent might be threatening. Look at master level games. Watch grandmaster streams on twitch or videos on YouTube. Do as many tactics as you can. There are so many resources available out there. You're doing the right thing by playing long time controls by giving yourself that extra time to calculate. Improvement won't happen over night but keep slogging away and you will notice a difference. Good luck!

DeRider play chess near wifi zones or come to Singapore then your problems would be solved trust me

You're hanging pieces left and right. It looks like you're being too aggressive and attacking with quick threats that lead to nothing.

You need to go on a vision quest.  This typically involves going into the desert for a few days with no food, just water, and optionally, drugs to help you commune with the spirits who will advise you better than I can how to improve your game.  Don't get out of crawling distance of your car (in case you should break a leg) and make sure it's topped off with gas.  If you make it back alive without the zopilotes having picked your bleached bones clean, you will find yourself a better chess player, because as it stands now, you can't hardly get any worse. 

I don't dislike the way you played, considering your rating I think you played quite decently, you blundered a pawn and you found yourself in a position quite difficult to manage. While it is true that the best way to learn chess is starting from the endgames if you can't survive the opening you won't have a chance to play and win. you where better in the opening but you let your advantage slip away.

so my suggestion is to try to focus more on the opening principles, once you will have improved a little more you should find your positions easier to play and more likely converting advantages like the one you got here. I would focus on other area of the game once you will have learned to develop all your pieces in a good way, (it's not as easy as it looks though.)

 

it's not a real analysis it's more a buch of random ideas, it's intended for you to look at some diferrent option and try to think if they could have been good or bad, what could have been the pros and cons.

 

cheers and good luck.

 

 

I just recently dropped I think 7-8 games in a row and I believe I have done worst in the past. I lost mainly playing a new a opening I'm not familiar with. I review it, then play it again and trying to remember where I erred last time. 150 points swing up or down is not new to me. I play just for fun.... but I guess men are just competitive by nature.

You are leaving your king in the open for your opponent to attack.

OK sorryy, I realise you have better things to do than helping me, but here's another game. This one was a draw (by repetition), but once again I had a clear material advantage. Where specifically did I go wrong? What should I have done to avoid the perpetual check situation it ended in? (game coming up in next post)

Hello deRider

I haven't read the previous posts but don't you need to play like face toface?

 

Seems three examples of your games here showed two mates and a perpetual. Kind of indicates, though you may have had some sort of advantage, your king was greatly exposed.

Might want to investigate resources that describe how to win a winning position or consolidate an advantage. Making sure the king is safe is usually a priority. You could be eight pawns up but it doesn't help much when you're facing mate in three.

Bro, definitely hit the tactics gym up every once in a while! You are making many tactical errors believe it or not. I don't know if you study openings or not but if you do STOP. First focus on improving your middle game play, which includes basic positional ideas and tactical play. If you do results will come faster than you think. There are free articles online about this on sites like here at chess.com, chesstempo.com, and chessbounty.com. Hope that helps.
