chess advice

this is a question directed at experienced players,i have just joined rhp and can't get enough of it.i start games and want to finish them,my play has improved but now i think i should consider the moves for longer raising my game further.if anyone has any thoughts i'd like to hear them.
thanks philbeans

1. Play a reasonable number of games.
2. Join
3. Join a Clan
4. Study your games that are over with a stronger player and a chess engine.

Yes, you should study your games longer if you want to improve. I don't agree with buying an engine.

thanks to both dmnelson and wulebqr for your advice on trying to improve my game,that's something for me to consider philbeans
