roadblock

sunday morning the honey due list is done -- at 9:18 am in morning just got up coffee is in cup meds taken not sick  have toast in hand    ready to go !!!!!!!!!! just remember knights before bishops control centre -- ok here we go 

as usual sunday morning went badly for me -- more lost than won- thought it would be different but it wasn't -- will try later on before lunch  maybe things will change maybe they won't i'll work on some puzzles to get my sunday morning blues dispelled-- and the sun is shinning too out my front bay windows thought things would be better --- agh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

just found a new  section-- form me that is new  - learn /practice section --where you can practice openings over and over -- i like this -- think i will sit here for a while and get my opening ten moves down rout still will be back just before lunch to battle when my sullen mood lifts 

Broke don't move same piece until developed rule.

Broke castle early rule.

C'mon Doker, you got this. You know the opening principles. Use them.

Tip: try to develop knight on king-side first to castle faster. 

yea it always sounds good and right after the  game hind sight is always perfect - just when you are playing the game he makes moves that you don't expect and therefore react badly to 

going back to other method  of opening  i used-- iam going to forget trying to take the middle postion squares  it seems to always  make  me take moves i don't want to take

so far this afternoon one brick up--- then  two bricks down--    

more of the same-- one brick up and two bricks down-- back to taking break --- afternoon med nap -- just a small one will be back in hour of so 

No reason you can't do both...

Regardless whatever opening you use... always follow the opening principles and you'll do great.

well tonight broke even i guess ----couple bricks up-- couple bricks down

going to work that for black right side opening and then the middle open up maybe there is something there --- seems to make certain players not very happy when i play  that move -- so i will make  it rout again faster to move pieces till  i get to move 10 then i will slow down and think - its those pawns that always do me in --  i wish i had as much confidence as you do in my playing -- i seem to hit and miss- off to slumber land -- maybe i wake in middle of the night -- if i do i will play a game   

Me too. Your game I analyzed two games ago (vs Tanjerome) impressed me. It showed you understand quick development, which most players below 500 don't. Even the last game I analyzed, you should've won. Nearly all your games now you're "winning" by move 10+ according to the computer.  That's because you're developing correctly, while your opponents are doing all the wrong things.

All that's left... capture those hanging pieces.  My advice is wait an extra second or so before moving. I have no doubt that if you had all the time in the world to analyze, you'd see when they have pieces undefended. Start capturing them and your rating will skyrocket.

monday morning coffee in hand and its sunny outside  for now -- two bricks up on the wall --three bricks knocked over - thought it would be a better start -- after honey due list things are  done i will be back just before lunch -- maybe it will pick up better --  even two bricks up two bricks down would be good for today  

nope nothing good here  --monday lunch time two major stupid losses -- in row -- yeps!!!

ok  slow down --maybe some puzzles will relax me -- always everything goes to pieces after move 10   will come back after i have my meds nap for a hour or so -- 

then i will be ready to go --- i hope  

Ya missed his hanging knight early in the game, but overall - I'm not loving this opening.... no center control and that early side-pawn move only weakens king side.

thats was a mess i see now lost focus after move 12   - yep was played badly by me --- so worried about defending i fail to see the hanging pieces i can get -- yep misplayed not thought out  just terribly played  -

late this afternoon played poorly again one brick up and three bricks that where thrown off the wall down  down to 117 again

just can't seem to see those pieces that you see after  the fact that i leave hanging or he leaves hanging 

whole point of game isn't it to see the board 

one more game before supper --10 min will try to use all the time this time  

ok things have gotten worse -- can't even beat a 100 player now -- time to step back --- i guess this is not working -- what ever i am doing --no point going on --  bye 

Don't you dare!!!  I don't care what your rating is, you've improved A LOT.  Look at the last few  games I analyzed.  Developing quick and castling... ya just missed a few hanging pieces.

I wish you hadn't changed openings.  That one game I analyzed with the middle pawn opening was your best opening games of all time.  You developed, controlled center squares, castled... other than missing a few hanging pieces - you were crushing it. All games will be that way if you keep following the opening principles.... AND capture those hanging pieces.

good morning, i drank a pint of brandy, seems to make me think less and move quicker, works better in 3 minute blitz, brick after brick, i dropped many brick, then pickup brick, brick brick brick, only problem, connection here at hotel like 56k dialup modem bak in the glory dayz of moms basement, ah i love my mom, dell xps heroes 2 or 3 anyone?  she locking the basement door and me sneaking and finding key, tricksy little guy i am, well not so little now hmmm, idk maybe i clean my room and i did laundry, do i dare open the scripture and unlock the gates? i hope you have wonderful day, i dont think meds work like Gods word, it is pure medicine compared to this big pharma they tricking us make you pay and pay and the doctor today, feeling faint, this symptom finger not workingso well, i type faster pro naturally, love you take care i do truly , not romantic like brotherly love, lovee!!

smiling having FUN FEELING LIKE A NUMBER ONE!!!!

mayb i practice opening like doker suggested only problem is i have such hard head and it makes for a soft butt, so they say, and perhaps i keep getting better naturally, its so slow brick brick brick then they fall though they keep rising slowly yet surely, and we have aeternity of time dont we, it never ends, thank you for reading, idk maybe i go play for real

my wife has convinced me not to give up on chess online -- i think more of the reason is  it keeps me out of under her feet in the kitchen because i play in the bay window area of our living room where the sun comes in in the morning  and a distance from where she keeps - herself - 

i will give one more try -- and will stop complaining as that just adds to my depression with all the others things not going right in my life --- i will not make  my learning chess one of them--

boy platitudes are hard to keep 

lets just go on from here
