oh i see - that was not the intent i took from your short post before -- sorry you need to explain when talking on the forums of your meaning - but thanks for the input i get the point now

sat morning going very badly on most games --- retreating an a couple couple i am pinned in the corners -- couple i am down material too much to make 30 moves -- so turning into a very bad day will have to start couple more 24 hr games soon as i believe i need to resign a couple games in about three or four moves it was nice to be above 500 for once but i think that's soon to change

You’re not the problem. The pairings are not good for you .

it’s their fault for giving you bad pairings

SAT NIGHT games are about the same iam losing an a couple of fronts now with about four games in jeopardy of not making 30 moves --- yeps --- started two more tonight maybe better luck

well 20 in a row is a higher number than me most i ever did was 10 losses in a row but i lost once when i was really stupid 30 games in a day

speaking of stupid things---its going very badly today its snowing and i have to get out a shovel which means i be super tired rest of day especially after i take my meds - some financial things turned against me last night- my cost running a side hustle selling things on ebay -- well the costs to do it run higher than what was taken in this last month so my visa is completely used up covering those costs - plus i lost my last 5 dollars in poker money for the rest of the month the allotment is used up - so no poker - no going out with buddies -- and i had to cancel my iptv account -- so no netflicks/hbo etc and such till i can get turned around -- well out to the snow first ---maybe the superbowl will makes things seem better this evening --- who is playing again lost track after detroit was tossed out --- i and no i don't like the maple leafs so i did not buy my stanley cup tickets early this season like those fans do ---hahahahah

Keep pushing forward setbacks are temporary, and you've overcome tough spots before. Focus on what you can control, find small wins, and don't lose your sense of humor.

thanks for the pep talk i needed it today

my 532 is shortly going to go done to maybe under 500 with some losses only moves away and only one of them is at the 30 moves set min -- sooooooooooooooooo

snow is cleared and coffee is reheated --- and maybe a new game started even though the site today is very very slow

LOSTATCHESS

sloppy play on my part rushing to fast to make the move i thought was right turned out i put my queen in jeopardy so this game will be lost don't think i be able to get to 30 moves - was too much in a hurry as soon as i hit the check mark i saw the mistake -- too late then --- darn damn etc etc etc -- takinga break for super bowl game now

LOSTATCHESS

iam reaping now the rewards of my bad play in moves 6/7/8 in a bunch of games lost two games and now just about losing a third well yea losta third game - maybe even a fourth ---- thinking about switching to only defensive moves right from the start - to see if i can extend my move count over 30 moves per game yeo all new games will be very defensive moves from the get go

Agreed. I'm certain you (lostatchess) have the skill to beat your opponents. You just need to train yourself to watch out for those patterns like the knight fork! (And don't say you can't learn it - give yourself time. Impatience is the enemy of progress.)

Same with arrogance, and best of luck to @LOSTATCHESS
