No offence but after so many games I can’t believe you’re this bad. My only suggestion is to play 60 minute games from now on and take your time. You’re moving too quickly in games. Only focus on taking every piece on offer and not hanging any pieces for now. Otherwise keep the position as quite close and you should slowly learn how to play. Currently you aren’t learning so if you want to improve you’ll have to go to the maximum time control until you understand the game better

Giving advice is being nice. I want him to get better and take time on each move so he can learn. Unless someone tells him what to do he will still be 100 rated in another 1000 games. You try being nice to someone giving him constructive advice.
sunday night games one win one loss one draw -- seems iam going sideways will play after i watch 60 mintues on tv maybe a small break is needed -- to those that seem to give advice i understand -- i know i don't really know how to play the game your way -- which is part of my problem - i have a condition that makes it very hard for me to learn patterns or strategy from books which i find hard to read -- i really need a live one one on one teacher -- i am looking closely to getting a teacher soon that can teach me one on one - but that is in the future -- paying someone to sit with you and take your hand like child is very costly and some of my meds are costly - over and above our gov't medical costs coverage- make funds a little scarce right now -- hopefully i have plan for that ( a little criminal activity) will soon bring in what i need-
thanks for the thoughts - helpful to have people try and help even though they don't really know the reasons and the why --
monday morning - i have got to 133 -- who ho!!!-- i don't believe that - 2 wins one loss at 58 moves -- upward trend i guess ---- see you this afternoon after my med nap
Monday afternoon after my med nap iam at 144 score- wonders never cease hopefully after supper i can keep it up and get a few more points today -

Keep trying and trying to play for longer. Look into Italian game, London system, Fried liver attack and Scandinavian defence. Those are the easiest ones. After that trade whenever you can and never hang a piece. Wait for the opponent to blunder and punish them for it.
tuesday morning -- thanks for the advice going to actually try that italian opening after i learn it will start to write out the moves today --so i can implement them - this morning- three losses all over 40 moves except one - two wins and one draw -- so a little downward move- snow is coming today i got to find my snow blower and get fired up to test it- make sure it works -- off to doctors office tomorrow 2 hour drive to his office to see the pathogeny report on my last surgery hope its clear so then i will not have to have radiation- already cancelled all my vacations this winter - in case iam --wife not to happy -but it better to be prepared and not get cancellation fees -- there is always next year -- -maybe???- but there will be next summer for sure - will be back at 12 noon to try a few more games and study this Italian move opening
after doctor appt he said i was clear of cancer in my voice box but still have to get radiation to make sure -- so good news today- not so good at chess -- 4 losses 1 draw 2 wins -- hummmmm
ok tomorrow new day
well back to 100 again -- yeps
well another three losses -- me thinks this is the end-- does anyone out here know a game i can play besides chess /checkers/ &go - that i could learn -and play and enjoy better this game obviously has me beat - i am starting to get frustrated- when three 100 players beat me bad in a row
must be some game out there i can play to idle the time between my meds and sleep
let me know -- no cgi games mind you aim an old guy thanks to all for advice
