I am still learning this game but seem to make a lot of mistakes.
Game 4529483
Here there was an easy piece win in the opening and then for some reason I moved too fast and lost my queen. Can anyone advise me as this is where I seem to make most of my mistakes? This would be much appreciated. 🙂

Take more time over your moves and always do a quick blunder check before you submit your move. Check none of your pieces are en prise and look at all the checks your opponent has.
Sometimes it helps to do this if you flip the board.

It certainly does win a piece but at his level it is a question of seeing the 1 move dropping of pieces before working on the 2 move combinations.
