roadblock

I wouldn't fret too much about the three losses. You are still higher than you have been in a while and to me your openings look more sensible than in the past, ie you're trying to take control of the centre, getting your knights and bishops out, and holding your queen back. IMO that's all good.

sunday morning a even play two wins two losses -- so really not so good-- but the high light is getting to 30 plus moves on a regular basis now next is 40 moves goal see when that happens

yes i changed my opening a bit still after move ten /15 i get jamed up alot -- and yes i should do puzzles more last few days i slackened off doing them so back to doing a bunch before i play -- one more game before i take a rest or cut the grass which i need to do even if only half the lawn- before it rains -- then lunch --- then play a little bit then afternoon med nap then play some more

sunday after lunch and lawn cutting the little i did it started to rain -- ha ha wifee!!!!- this session seems really getting odd -- i seem to be playing players who are really bad its not me doing anything right they are just making or leaving me hanging or just giving up -- i skill level is the same my loves the same -- just the results are in my favour right now -- i really am perplexed as what going on --- could it be the time of day ??? late at night i always lose -- iam playing close ranking players to me -- just don't get it -- i will keep going as i know the shoe /boot is going to hit the floor soon and i will be back at 100

just before sunday dinner session went about even some losses some wins playing players now who seem to have much better skills than me so there are only rarely chances to get away with something my mistakes and blunders are still high so much to improve on -- hoping i can still get above 40 moves plus a game when i lose -- maybe after supper the show will finally drop and back into the basement i will go --- cause house of dragons doesn't come on till 9 pm and then my attention is held elsewhere

well monday morning and the slide begins to the bottom couple losses in a row hope i can turn around by mid morning play

You're keeping your head above 200! This is the best you've done in ages and your improved opening where you play for central control gives reason to think that this time you wont slide all the way back down. IMO your biggest problem now, as I expect you know, is hanging pieces, for which you need lots of puzzles.

Or lots of noticing the blunders in your games

monday is going ok more wins than losses almost to 250--- almost that is --- maybe tomorrow will be different-- i was lucky on a couple of games to win so --my hopes are up but reserved -- i need to get better at move 15 and onwards and iam really terrible at finishing a players at the end --i see that now ---

tuesday morning is going the same pretty good - 266 for me is third highest i have ever been in two years --- what the heck ---- soon i will be playing alot better players and the downfall will begin i sure -- but for now -- the excitement is quite riveting--

tuesday afternoon -- two wins two losses -- stayed the same 288 so getting to the magic number 300 if i can hold on to luck against lessor players

tuesday before supper i knew it wouldn't last 4 losses in row i guess iam head ups against my better peers -- so for a while it be downward to the bottom again-- yep i knew things couldn't be rosy- one game before supper i guess just to make 5 in a row

wed morning slow start - two wins one loss but still over 275 so ok this morning will try to tighten up game this afternoon lost last two games in the last 10 seconds of the game for him/her

thursday morning again slow start down two losses in a row -- so getting toward 250 again playing much better at this game players than me --- so its to be expected i guess -- will play this morning after doctor visit

falling fast now under 250 seven in row losses not so good today i guess -- i hope i reach a level soon where i can at least win one game today

yes but iam doubtful that will ever happen- just lost a couple games in row thursday night and now approaching 200 -- looks like i am heading to the bottom again---- god i hate this game ----- oh well maybe once i get below 150 i can stabilize out and play players who i have a chance to beat right now it seems impossible-- let say it one more time ---- i hate this game -- wish i was not additive to it-- one game tonight then that's it

thanks for the upbeat talk-- i think kinda wasted on me -----

Yes play like the other hyper aggressive 300 elos

well i am done for tonight -- no i won't play that childish opening -- it should be banned -- queen bishop thing also -- iam done really just tired of this game now need to back off again play puzzles for a while ---man i hate puzzles but then again i hate chess tooooo god i think i am having a meltdown------------ whooooo

Try it I play it sometimes against 2000+ it is fun lol

If your addicted to t at least try to have fun in the game

i thought non rated games would not affect my score -- i just lost three non rated games and now iam at 200 --- what am i missing

Did you play unrated or did you just miss click lol cause unrated challenges work perfectly fine for me
