roadblock

late night play 2 wins one loss 61 moves  time for bed-- to those who have spuke and say just quit -- i say why -- you need me to win against at this site - to improve your egos about how many points you have -- as i do- so some win some lose and some just lose -- its all still chess play 

Doesn't matter.

Every game is wild you blocker.

well this was weird i won three in row this afternoon -- maybe late this  afternoon after my nap i can pull a couple of more wins --- who knows ???????

Play the computer at a level that you can only just win. watch you tube chess channels.

Agreed, I looked at some... very strange openings. Kinda fun to see weird stuff. Everything is hanging. Tactics everywhere so early.

Advice that helped me years ago (wish someone told me when I started):

The opening of chess is a race to develop. When ya move the same piece twice (pawn or piece) without a really good reason, you fall behind in that race. Win that race and tactics appear.  Just develop, castle, and find the tactics.  Against that level of competition, you'll be destroying everyone.

We're rooting for ya Doker!

what good words you speak thanks for the help -- i will take all you say in advisement-- sat morning one win---- one loss 45 moves 

Yeah have you tried doing tactics puzzles and playing the bots ?? Playing the bots would give some indication of whether your moves are good if you do it on 2 crowns.... I appreciate the bots may not make logical moves but may be surprised what some tactics and move feedback can do for you. Onwards and upwards, full respect for keeping at it 👍🙌

Just check to make sure you aren't giving up a piece before you make each move. That is all you need to do for now.

again thanks f0r the advice/help i will  implement those in my play-

going for more surgery next week and have to decaf myself - so no coffee tea- rye and gingers- for four days -- have gone one  full day and already i have a major headache and body pains from the the withdrawal - didn't know i was addicted so much to caffeine- glad i have some pain pills left over from last surgery- i have taken one this morning and feel much better -- enough so  i will try a few games - so off to the games maybe in this relaxed state i will win a few-  

tonight i have one loss 45 moves - two wins -- and one draw -  so i guess its a upward move  but my afternoon play was not so good so i guess really the day was downward slide again but only slighty

back to 155  score so quite a lateral move this monday morning off to the doctors for pre admissions stuff - back late this afternoon to play

wow three games in a row losses -  one not even a good loss-other two over 40 moves each - - i have noticed when i play at night looking at my record book - i lose twice a  many at night as i do in the daytime - so if only played in the daytime i won win more ---hummmmmm- wonder if i should put that into practice --- naw - my 169 score  is back to 100 range again-- but at least you can't go below 100 -- thank-god ---- 81 % of my night time losses are to players 200 and up -- maybe i should narrow my scale in opponents to 100 to 150 i will try that next ---- couple of more games tonight  till my night time meds start to take hold- and then its off to my nighttime respite of the high seas and sailing ships and damsels in destress-   oh and by the way plenty of ------------drinking

got to 110 score tonight -- not much improvement  -- but just as many losses as wins -- maybe tomorow will be better -- again my stats prove its better to play in the day time than at night evn with the adjusted score selection from 100to150 

still get those over that 188 159 etc etc  but not sure why ??? lets see in the tuesday morning session - if that holds true 

tuesday morning is a  downward trend again one win 5 losses  playing too many people over 150 which is what i have it set for -- have to find out why ???? after lunch session will be short off to the hospital and surgery just a quick day thing in and out so maybe  late tonight i can get a few game in

Did the surgery go alright? I remember when I had to have a gastric bypass to my outer colon; I must say Chess has helped me through some dark times, I am not a cynic when it comes to play!

just got back from the hospital they cancelled my surgery  not of enough nurses to do the job - rebooked for next week -- well might as well playa few games now 

wishing you the best, play chess just for fun.
