Post them! Annotate if you wish (might be a good idea) but let us see how much you have improved!

Optional: Post a more recent game right below an older one. I'll start:

A game I played way back in 2011. This was against a player who, after realizing I played him more recently, has a 2/1 record against me. This was his only win. For the critics, please note that I have only attempted to improve my game within the last month in a half.
 
A game against a 1505. A couple foolish blunders and 28 moves later I find myself in a heavily losing position. I was completely outmaneuvered in this game.
The difference here is how easily I blundered away a game against a 1200 and now, after a month+ of study, managed to hold my own against a 1505 (persay). If nothing else, it shows that experience + study [does] = improvement.

This might be one of my oldest recorded games.  It's a skittles game against my kid brother, in 1975.  I was 13 and he was 11.

Woo, that trumps me by 14 years! I wasn't even thought of yet...o.o

However, that is a beautiful checkmate with the two Knights.

Huh. I've been playing around with the Scandinavian Defense lately. Never realized it was so incredibly old.
