My my, aren't you funny?

In response to the thread originator, I would recommend going to a local chess club, play games against players a few hundred points above you and get them to go over the game with you.

Play through grandmaster games to get a feel for the patterns.

Do lots of tactics puzzles and get an endgame book. Endgames are very important.

I know that you don't know them.

Hence the phrase, ask around. See my previous post.

I can't make it more clear than that.

Search the forums, ask people on here.
