roadblock

Your also resigning too early ALWAYS try to find defensive moves

Your opponent usually blunders unless they get lucky until like 1600+

So being -4 in the opening doesn't matter or even -30 in some rare cases just pretend the resign button isn't there

when your queen is gone its over unless the other person is a complete blunder head putting off the inevitable just wastes time for my opponent and myself-- i just need to learn stronger opening and middle game mainly middle game is where i lose all my focus

tried the ten min games not much better results -- even when i take the time to look at the moves i still lose - but 5 min was better not in results but play will try a couple of more of those to see

No it isn't I beat a 500 before (higher rated than you ) NO queen and less than 15 seconds (on a Chromebook )

Maybe technically your lost but you 100% have chances to win the game if you hang a queen in 1 move you opponent can also do that

How about this I'll do odds down a full queen and a piece or two if you except the challenge

maybe i should after three more losses even at 5 min.games in row not even getting to move 30 in any of them -- should try a longer game say 30 min. then i could some aids to help me decide what to do next move and see all the possibilities yep will try that tomorrow morning my meds are taking over now and time to stop

Now don't start cheating or using help but other than that yes you should play longer games

thats game challenge sounds great but what help would it be to me if your down a queen and another piece who would learn anything (maybe you would ) for me really nothing , except that you are a better player by alot then me - thanks for the offer its the only offer i have ever got to play someone here --- iam tempted even knowing i would lose just to play you in a ten min game --- maybe i should say yes to your kind offer - maybe tomorrow

I wouldn't learn anything but you learn how to convert up material

Which seems very needed at your level

Since to convert you have to not lose the material (which you lose material by move ten most games and it is more than a piece )

More like 2000-2100

Tuesday morning same as usual maybe a little worse today - lost all games not one over 30 moves again and i lost my queen in a couple of them back down to 100 - tired a couple at 5 min couple at 10 min nothing seemed to work same depressing play even tried an opening i wrote from a book last night in bed - that led to a longer game but lost with only two pieces left ----well i will try a couple more this morning -- see what happens going to use an opening i saw in book a long time ago for beginners see what happens i guess

time to completely stop ------------- bye

don't worry i can't stop-- just when the drugs take over i get a little depressed about what iam doing here and then say crasy things

nothing to report today just awful play by me losing to even more awful players so nothing is changed expect i started a chess school program -- one lesson per day -- at least i will give a try - till i get to the lessons on openings --not for a while yet - i will try some openings i see -- who knows - everyone during this heat spell take it easy stay inside with ac - or if you are lucky--- stay on your boat coasting in the med or carib waters -- ha just the thought of it settles me down see you tonight

tuesday very late played few games lost all --- one more before i go back to bed

wed afternoon before my med nap played a few games -- mostly 6 errors 10 blunders per game 64 moves on average -- so not very impressive is it ?- but at least i am over the 150 barrier though i don't seem to care about that as much these days -- one more lesson at that chess school after my nap then back at it-- studying back rankings -- see what that entails

got a new chess book to read 'improving your chess "byfred reinfield -- its going to take a lot of repeat reading as the concept is not making mistakes playing and the eight bad moves we make i never seen any of the moves he describe but then i will each chapter twice to see if any of it sinks in --- small writing and diagrams are very old school -- and small also -- lots of lights on, to read this one but i will give a try

tonight played not really well but couple of wins against players who left me hanging alot so will try again later on --- over 160 now but really so what

something really odd happening in the neighborhood here don't what it is -- but i will try later just before lunch to see if it still happening -- odd very odd -----

its still going on after lunch just before my med nap ---- what gives ??????? this can't be happening ------ i will try again after nap ----- going to read some more of that chess book i bought

still going on there--there must be magic in the system finding totally terrible players to play against me -- i haven't been this high in months-- this is scary --------

still mind you most games i have 10 mistakes 6 blunders really stucks to win with numbers like that-- but i will trudge on i guess

well now Friday afternoon back to regular play lose three games win two sort of thing -- back to playing players much better than me again last two games had less mistakes and about the same blunders as usual so will try a few more before med nap this afternoon

i knew it wouldn't last three game losses in row -- the slide begins to the bottom again hello 100 here we come --- the up and downs of chess mainly downs for me maybe late tonight i get lucky and play some really terrible players and gain some ground back up ---- really doubt it but worth a thought -- off to dinner tonight out at a new Serbian restaurant-- first time for me -- and to get out of the place and breathe non air condition air with this heat wave -----see you later
