Am I Improving?

I have two games that I lost - one today and other 2 years back.

Is there any tools which can check if my moves are getting closer to engines' first choice?

I think your main  problems are too many pawn moves which slows your development, slow development which reduces your attacking potential, poor control of the centre and you occasionally waste tempi. I  would say you are an attacking player that has improved in the way you attack but you attack early without enough preparation.

hope that helps

Thanks everyone. I particularly agree with lakeland and umersevici. Although I "feel" I have improved, there is nothing to show.

One area in which I have improved is committing less blunders - and yet I do not win more frequently.

I also feel I am too much concerned about losing, hence I do not try new things - like an all out attack!
