I need your help <Joking>

I am a 800 player, but i beat an 1100 player once, so im more of an 1100 player.  I keep losing games even though i know 12 openings 30 moves deep.  Can someone help me understand why i keep losing?  

I ply a lot of blitz, and no long tome controls, and i stll hang pieces, and miss simple tactics, and mates in 1.  

Can someone direct me towards websites that can help me.  If there are any GM's that teach for free please teach me!!!  

One more thing...im an agressive/tactical player that is looking for an opening that is agressive/tactical where i can get an opening advantage, but involves no risk.  

I like to sacrifice a lot so if anyone knows of any openings that have a lot of sacrifices, but still safe, let me know.

I don't know man from the looks of it it looks like you need to study some more opening theory to make sure they don't outtheory you or outsmart you with some cheap tactical shot. Get some good opening books and explore even the least popular lines .... it's essential you get a good solid opening foundation before you can even consider studying the middlegame/endgame

Thank You!  

So are you saying i need ot learn more opening theory?

Should i memorize 30 moves deep instead of 20?

It seems like your foundation is rotten. I love to use IM Silman's little story about how a 12 year old made his way up to an expert rating (2200) when he grew up, but he could never go past that because his mindset is wrong.

Here's a basic overview of what you need to change:

Stop attacking and sacrificing. A Bxh7 sac might look amazing, but if you just only have a queen to attack and nothing else, you just lost a bishop for free. Only look out for combinations if:

1. Pieces (besides pawns) are hanging

2. King is very exposed (i.e. black just castled queenside but he is missing his B and A pawns, and so did you. Initiating play on those files will win, and maybe some tactics might pop up!)

3. Pieces are very loosely guarded (such as in a fianchettoed bishop situation, the knight is very loose.)

You don't need to study opening theroy. Just make your logical moves (develop, center control, etc.). This might not make your play BEST, but it saves you a ton of time.

Look out for imbalances, too. Ever just had about 15 minutes compared to your opponent's 5 minutes on the clock? Think! Develop a plan. Of course, this can't work if you have only 30 seconds on the clock, but if you happen to have extra time, you have to watch out for:

1. Better minor pieces (is his bishop absolutely destroying my king saftey comparde to my knight on the sidelines? is one example)

2. Space advantage (usually making a passed pawn if there is a pawn majority there, or cramping enemy pieces)

3. Key squares/files (Open files? Knight outposts that work? Try avoid putting a knight on the queenside if you're aiming to smash your opponent because his king is open.)

^the basics

30 is average. If you want to get good you should get it up to 50 or so. Top GMs will only leave their opining preparation for the last 10 moves or so. They usually draw against each other unless one of them makes a mistake in those last 10 moves.

But im an agressive/sacrificing player.  

Thanks Mosai...I am currently memorizing all 8 openings i use as white 40 moves deep, and all 8 openings i use as black, 40 moves deep.  This will get me to 2300 right?

No man 20 moves should be enough, don't let them players who keep preaching about how important the middle game and the endgame are distract you, you need to start from the fundaments and then work all your way up. Make sure to include everything in your study, including things like the Englund Gambit, the Omega Reti Gambit, the Grob opening etc so that you eventually know how to react to them whenever you are playing with them black pieces. What good is it to learn the endgame when you drop a queen in the opening?

Just memorize some lines.

Yes, cos you'll be wiping them players who focus on the endgame off the board. Useless to gain endgame mastery for them when you'll be having them crushed by move 15.

yes but im an agressive/tactical player, so i know im better than my rating.

Im an agressive/tactical player that knows 8 openings 30 moves deep.  

LOL...Yepp. its a joke.  

:D

I knew it already from another topic, had exchanged messages with him on that one lol

Some caught it, some didnt :-)  <Not mentioning any names>

I'm memorizing ONE opening, 80 moves deep. What could possibly go wrong?

your goal is not to memorize openings but to know what you want to with your pieces. Memorizing openings doesn't tell you what the pieces are doing only where they are.

I need the same help as Diakonia! And about a million other people on the site! I memorized all my openings 1000 moves deep but IT"S STILL NOT ENOUGH!
