Originally posted by Dragon FireHey, I can't send you that PM right now. I'm at my 10 PM limit because of yesterday night.
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'll send it after my 24 hours are up.

17. Qe7+ when white should win.
17. Re2 was wasted and subsequently really hashed up. There is a need to get basic tactics right here.

10. h4 may be the last chance to stay in the game.
Originally posted by RahimKIt is difficult to find any salvation here. Your 7th move was bad and your 8th was worse.

If you don't know the French stick to e5.

Hello Chess fans from around the world. It's finally here! What you guys have been asking for. Anyone interested should do the following things below:
1. Rhp Name and Rating
2. Why you want to get to 1600
3. How many games are you currently playing and on average how many minutes do you spend on each move?
4. Have you read my Need help getting to 1400 ...[text shortened]... so we can compare. Plus I'm only allowed 10 PM's in 24 hours. I love the life of a non-sub 🙂
2. i want to be really good, 1600 is one of many numbers between 1316 and really good.
3. 3 games, 1 inactive. i tend to take games in waves, like fill up and play them all, then fill up again. I'm a very busy guy, (and a non subscriber) but i can play lots more if needed. the number of minutes i spend on each move varies widley. i almost never make a move the same time i decide to make it (although i usually don't think about it in the mean time, i just don't like to rush my decisions). in general if i'm winning and no pieces appear to be imminently threatened i probably spend less 3-5 minutes planning out the future of the game and my move. if i'm losing (down material)i might look for 10-15 minutes multiple times a day for a day or two before i move. if material is about even and position is either slightly in my favor or slightly against me i usually spend 5-20 minutes considering moves.
4. no i haven't read it. i think i saw it once briefly. i'd like a link if you could post one up and i will definitley read it.
5. sure...

i lost because i wasn't paying close enough attention. the guy was still p 1200 at the time and for some reason i thought i was above not noticing a trap like that... so i didn't notice it. once it happened i pretty much gave up.

i was throttling this guy... like not even close. this loss pissed me off more than any other probably. i got to agressive, the first couple moves of my king were ok in my opinion, but i got way to agressive and thought i was above losing at that point.

This was just a traditional blunder in my opinion, i missed it. i wasn't paying close enough attention. i replayed the guy and beat him albeit very narrowly.

i got outplayed and made a huge blunder... this was nearly a year ago and i play a lot better now (which is odd because i did nothing for a long time, then picked it up again and was somehow better)

same as the other one... a longass time ago and i basically forfeited my half of the board to him while i moved my queen around a lot.

just seems werid you would say that. he said he is willing to help multible people and your the first one.
