losing games to my own bad play

so there is no thinking on part of the site just moving pieces without giving advice right ??

That is correct.

thx

SATURDAY MORNING - some of my 24 hr games are going relatively well some are going poorly the ones i reached deep into i am now material way behind in most of those - its just a matter of time before they are over - more than half now iam over 30 moves in each game - couple iam in the 50-60 range - but some right from the get go i know they are lost you can tell how someone moves thos knights in for the kill right away iam on defence -- not much chance in those games - but maybe i can stall till 30 moves at least that is the goal in those game getting to 30 moves and over

SATURDAY LATE AFTERNNON--- lost one game ---going to lose another within two moves - so have started a another one trying to start new opening on that one

for the one with officialemusical, there is a fork you can find. It's pretty easy if you try.

THANKS but nothing is easy for me in chess-- iam a very simpleman basically a stupid old sick man - that sometimes has things right in front of his face and misses them -- been that way all my life -- great opportunities have come and gone i just didn't see them or was to scared and maybe a little lazy to grab them by the throat and go with them -- so here i am at the near end and i playing chess very poorly mind you and you would think with all my life experience would do well in this game-- but spots don't change on a leopard i guess someone has to be the loser in this game -- and thats me

forget that post above the meds sometimes play tricks with my brain and then i feel sorry for myself -- this was one occasion --sunday morning early way to early-- very disappointing saturday night watched a couple of good movies-- alone-- had one beer and my meds guess they did me in a little sleep was very restless--- bad dreams all night--what i needed was a good !@#$%^%^&* well you know what i mean-but that won't happen again in this life

well on to another topic --- this morning i got four more games over the 30 plus moves line so thats good for me -- lost one this morning but it was over 40 moves so ok -- started two more so maybe today will be different-- and please forgive my ranting post above ------

SUNDAY NITE has from personal point today gone badly -- had some hopes for some things to go my way and would have helped me and they didn't--- they went the opposite way they got worse so it depressed me a little well more than a little - chess somewhat went the same way lost a another game but !!!!!!!!!!- had two other games go over the 30 move threshold- so a very very small bright lite tonight --- maybe later i will play a couple more moves tonight

LATE SUNDAY NIGHT - played a couple of moves on each 24 hour game --i didn't lose a game this late so far -- but all is well ona couple of them as i approach 40 moves

Early MONDAY MORNING -lost two games one made to 29 moves the other made to 34 moves started two more this morning going to start with c4 move instead of normal and followed up with same knight push see what happens using this out followed by second knight out then pawn allowing bishop out last weekend was very bad for me -- but its a new week and old friends just phoned and want to go for lunch --- maybe they will have happy news of any description and will make the day tolerable to stay in

Chess isn't meant to be taken seriously. The results dont matter. Just chill out, look at a position in peace and come up with ideas on what you want to produce on the board.

you are right about the results not mattering -it just so hard to lose that ---since no money or fame can be gained by playing here --why does it matter ??-- i know its stupid and really depressing -its just well i have very few things left in life that mean anything anymore you might say i am a loser in life and at its end stage game -- this for some reason matters not the winning itself well a little ---just playing well-- doing something others i know can't or at least better than as i have failed at some many things in life - jobs love money fame power -even health though i am still above ground as a lot of my past friends are not ---so peace and chill are super hard to get when the game keeps pushing further back all the time -- but thanks for the thought it was well said

oh yea just lost another 24 hour game -- but now i am over 30 moves in two others --

last thought tonight ----wish my community collage or university had adult classes for chess - at least i would get out of the house and attend them -- they give computer courses for seniors but no chess -- kinda sucks

Yea I definitely get what you mean - You put time and effort into the game and it would nice to get some improvement in return. But the thing is, you have to enjoy the process. I sucked for half a year at the lowest levels when I started. It was only until I stopped playing endless games trying to force myself to win and started to actually learning about the game and thinking about reasons why I play each move. In slow controls you can take atleast 5min before each move and think: Why do I play this? If the ends up being bad anyway, you think later: Why was it bad?

Yeah but point being you should enjoy the process even if you're bad, or if you dont at all, maybe its not for you

TUESDAY AFTERNNON three of my games are turning at about move 6/7/8 are going south i can feel that the opponent already knows by his/her/them pressure they are bottling me up so i don't think in these three games i make 30 moves maybe one of them if i can turn things around but two are defensibly lost - other games well i think i am ok to make 30 maybe 40 moves each - i keep slugging along i guess

Wednesday morning -- going to lose three games pretty soon - so just trying to reach 30 moves - started two more lost a 3 min game just to see what was happening at the time slot with me not very good back to 24 hour games only again

If you're going to play live games, try 10 minute or 30 minute games. 3 minute is clearly too fast for you, but you get pretty high accuracies on daily, so maybe with more time you might do better?

Speaking of bad play, why wasn't this brilliant?
