How can a self taught, middle aged guy break through and understand the game better? Anything from advice to resources is appreciated.

Does the advice we give you have to be about chess?

Asking this question in the Only Chess forum might have got you something useful.
Asking this question in the General forum is tantamount to putting your head on a chopping block. 🙂

Ignore these idiots, Jerrard. Go to www.eudesign.com/chessops and
learn openings. Make sure to read explanations about how each move
differs from the other.

Study my games when I cared.
They were actually quite interesting and inventive.
These days, might as well be playing checkers.

Send a PM @greenpawn34, our resident chess blogger. I'm sure he can help.

I think you will break through. It took me a while to get good, I just kinda floundered for a while. Try new things in having fun in you'll start seeing more
Maybe do some research on basic chess strategy?
I did that when I was learning and it helped. I got a little booklet it would try different tactics from it as well. Eventually trying new things in playing, things can together. I'm still learning of course. Have fun

The best chess advice I ever got was from an old man in the park, playing chess and taking on all comers.

I asked him, "What's your best chess advice?"

He pondered that a moment, and then he just said, "Shut up and play."
