2.Who doesn't want to improve?
3.Over 40, too many, and if you check my profile you'll see I'm reducing it
4.I did, but I was over 1400 😉
5.Blunders, blunders, and blunders!

I may be an unfair candidate however, I've started analyzing moves more thoroughly, and am working on reducing my game lo ...[text shortened]... I think even if I am a 1600+ player on some sites any advice will still help my chess out.

i want to get better to play for my schools team and work on my goal on getting to around 2000 in 3 years.
I play between 40-60 it depends on the game most ive ever spent is 15 minutes least is probably 4 seconds. becuase it was an obious move



Game 2354648 i saced a peice and thought i had somthing but didn't
Game 2304500i lost this game because i didn't play g6 on my 21 or 22 move

Game 2299830I lost this game becuase i get into a bad position becuase i din't know that opening. i should have played 2.nc3 to turn it into four knights game.
Game 2299830i lost this game becuase i played 14. f5 Game 2249549i lost this game becuase of 8.f6

ops i messed on the link do you want me to repost?

1. YUG0slav, 1546 (but lower otb)
2. my goal is to one day reach 1900-2000, and 1600 comes before both those numbers
3. 4-6 games at a time (like I have a choice) and I have spent up to 40 min on a single move (mostly middlegame, my opening play is much faster) but the average is 1-5 min.
4. went over it, but I was still over 1400 when I read it.
5. a few game losing blunders, and disregard for many lessons that I've learned.

I feel that i am a low 1600 player now although my rating may say that i'm not. i just recently came from a 1550 rating and i noticed that the one part of my game is that i didn't drop pieces even though it happened once every 40 games or something like that. i learned that my middlegame improved as i read pawn structure by andrew soltis and sometimes i would put the pieces of the puzzle toegether with things i learned in the past but didn't really understand then. i'm 18 and i have a low 1600 rating although i can't always keep it above there. my goal is at least 1800 and if i made it to 2000 i'd be happy as a clam. the reasons i lost my last few games were because i played people 1700 or near there that just outplayed me and beat the hell out of me.

I'm trying really hard to get to 1600 but everytime I think I'm doing it my opponent goes and gives me a piece so I end up winning again.

How can I stop my opponents just dropping their pieces?

I am sure if I can somehow do this then I will get there!:'(

i'm sure your being a douchebag
