Your history here, shows that you have played 6 standard games and 19 turn-based games. That is not "a lot". Thousands of games is "a lot". My best advice for improving in the next two weeks, is for you to make an appointment with your nearest voodoo doctor and ask for a chess improvement potionWink

There are four types of chess players: Attacking, Defensive, Trading, and Passive. Attacking players are the aggressive players who attack oftenly. Defensive players prefer to make moves that defend against a possible attack than to attack. Passive players defend until the endgame, where they hope to have worn you out by defending your attacks. Traders like to simplify the board whenever possible. You should try playing each of these styles to see which one works best for you. Many players start off thinking that they are attackers and rush blindly into assult mode without thinking of the consequences of their attack and how their opponent can defend. If you're not having success as an attacker while playing against people at your playing level, you most likely are not an attacker. However, if you do well against players at your skill level and you (accurately) think your attacks out before you initiate them, you're an attacker. Even if you're an attacker, you should still improve your skills in the other three areas (trading, defense and passive) in case your opponent's play warrents a change in tactics. Another thing to consider is your strenghts as a chess player. If you have a strong endgame, you should focus on defense in order to get to the endgame. If you're not a good tactical player, you should trade pieces to clear the board of potential threats. If you have a bad endgame, you should try to attack your opponent to cripple or checkmate him/her before the endgame begins. If you like to have a lot of pieces on the board, avoid trades and focus on the development of your pieces in the opening. Remember to go back and improve your weaknesses so that you're not forced into a style that doesn't suit you. Though I'm no grandmaster, this is what I have found in my 6 years of chess experience (and over 1000 games on chess.com :)
