well two more days of not getting to move 20 or higher before losing going to try some different opening moves maybe it will shake something up

well thanks everyone for all the advice about how iam barking mad and that i try to lose -- the first maybe right -the second is just not so -- today i have reached a few games over 30 moves that is a going up at least -- and one win -- and iam out of the basement not 100 anymore -- 

no light at the end of tunnel yet-- but its not  as dark as it was before and i will keep going -

well six losses but each one over 25 some over 35 moves  guess thats better

Avatar of dokerbohm

6 more games this afternoon one win five losses all over 25 moves some over 35 so a little stable footing i guess

2 wins 1 draw and all loses over 30 except one --- hey i can't be getting better -- must be the luck of chance playing better players who where not paying attention due to a slip here or there -- yea thats what it must be -

one win one draw four losses none of 30 moves -the train has stopped on the tracks again-with loss of steam the main reason - trying 3 minutes games again  with ten min games the players take soooooooooooo long to move the first 5/6 moves i lose trian of thought -- i know what iam going to play in first 5 moves bing bang bohm

4 wins 6 losses 1 draw -  most losses where over 30 moves -- really don't know if this is improvement still at 100 - ok sometimes you should lye down and give up 

Avatar of dokerbohm

really now sure what you are saying in the second post -- first one i get -- yes iam lazy old guy really old in thinking and mind set-- trying to find a secret way to win --- not going to happen i know -- but trying the conventional ways to learn are at best are hard for me -- there is no way to learn -- point one to point two next step step etc etc lesson one this lesson two that - just random opening moves that against someone better and thats everyone who plays here---  never work-- - but i do get your point-- thanks for the input anyways ---- p.s. about your demo of my game -- if you noticed he had me cold against my king-- what was i supposed to do ????

today 6  games - 6 losses - all games except one over 30 moves 

Avatar of dokerbohm

just entered a one day game ?-- to see what it is like --- question is why do i have 800 rating -- iam a 100 rating player at best in all games ???????

You show GM potential, so you've moved out of the 100 club.

Avatar of dokerbohm

wow the day game was long - it seem to make me play any better just slower -- tried two games both i lost but both where over 30 moves  --- will try ten minute games again

3 min games - 6 losses all where above 30 moves each -- guess it was ok
