How to get better.


You won a piece in the opening, but over the course of the game, you blundered some pawns, traded your queen for a rook, lost a knight to a fork, and more.
I would recommend using more of your time to calculate and think about your moves, and what your opponent will do after you move.
I typically use around 10 minutes, more if my opponent doesn’t make many obvious mistakes, even more if I reach an endgame.
