Try to move 1 or max 2 pawns in the first few moves. After 1 pawn move, bring a knight to f3/c3 (f6/c6 as black). Then try bringing your bishops and other knights out. Never move so many pawns like you d id, and never abandon your knights/bishops!

Originally posted by trevor33You moved to many pawns far to early. In the opening try to concentrate on developing your peices and taking control of the centre. Bring out your bishops and knights. You tried to bring your bishop out, but you moved it to a stupid position where it was forced back and you then proceeded to block it in with your pawns, so that by move 7 you had no pieces developed and a bad pawn structure.

It's a fairly common flaw in many beginners' play, that they want to create some sort of super-gigantic pawn chain because they think it'll be some great, big fortress of security. But all it really does is make one of your bishops bad, and gives you permanent weaknesses on the other color. Use your pawns to fight for space, particularly in the center. But don't leave so many holes in your position, or it'll be unplayable before you know it.

First thing you should do in an opening is get the pieces out, and castle.
e4 or d4 is a good start, get the knight then the bishop out, and castle. Keep you pawns fixed as much as possible.
Move pieces, not pawns. When you move a pawn, you leave a weakness behind it.
I would say learn some combination ideas, a tactics book, or software suitable for a beginner. And maybe a good opening book. Like guico piano. or petroff, etc

Originally posted by trevor33How hard is it for you to look through your own games? It's very easy to see where you went wrong. You lost an entire rook on move 44 because you walked right into a little tactic called "removing the defender". And then later on, you actually forced a trade of rooks when you were already down a piece. When behind in material, you don't want to trade pieces; you want to trade pawns.
if you start at 39b what did i do wrong from there
cheers

Originally posted by trevor3317.e4?? was a terrible move. It gives away a pawn for no good reason. Then, you followed it up with 18.Bxe4??, a bad sacrifice which just helps your opponent's pieces reach good squares.

It's useless that you continue asking for analysis as long as you don't understand the basic principles of the game.
