2. To be competitive otb with a friend who will play me now even though I lose > 9 out of 10 games.
3. 9 games, 2 minutes
4. I visited all of them but disagreed with some.
Game 2112991 otoh a blunder: relying on a piece that was easily exchanged for defense. oto, lack of confidence facing the Sicilian.
Game 2140988 Failed to see the need to bring light-squared Bishop into the defense. Also a general lack of confidence playing middle game as Black in d4-d5 openings.
Game 2113140 No plans.
Game 1905540 Transposed from Sicilian to French. Weak move in opening?
Game 1925371 Failed to calculate that an attack was possible early in the opening after a passive move by Black.

Originally posted by BLReidI also need help with the planning. I'll see if I can post some advice about that which will help everyone improve their game.
I haven't submitted any games, but I have been following this thread with interest. First, thank you Rahim for your continued effort to help people, it counts for alot. Second, even though I am currently 1685(ish) and peaked at a little over 1700, my game really isn't that good. I had a streak of lucky wins that gave me a nice little boost, but reality is set ...[text shortened]... l, that's my story, and I'll keep plugging, but thanks again for what you are doing.

Originally posted by mathemosGame 1, Tactical as you mentioned. I know it was a set piece game but putting the Knight on a3 isn't great. That is why I don't like 2.c3 because it takes away the knights square on c3.

Game 2112991 otoh a blunder: relying on a piece that was easily exchanged for defense. oto, lack of confidence facing the Sicilian.
Game 2140988 Fail ...[text shortened]... led to calculate that an attack was possible early in the opening after a passive move by Black.
Game 2, Move 12...Nxe4 is a great move you missed. This game is still playable. 15...Bxf6 16.Qxh7+ Kf8 and Black is still fine. I don't see anything good for white now.
Game 3, Bd5 I don't like moving that piece to many times. Finish developing. Giving up the bishop pair for no good reason. Tactics. Correct was 21.Bxf6 Rxe1+ 22.Nxe1 and only then 22...gxf6.
Game 4, not asking what the threat is before moving and not askign what your opponents reply will be to your moves before playing your move.
Game 5, Same as game 4 comments.

Okay I believe I got everyones games now.
Which patterns do you guys see between all the games posted and my comments?
I will continue once you guys post all the patterns between all the games and my comments. I'll start you guys off with 2 of them:
1. Not seeing what the opponents threat is.
2. After choosing your move not seeing how your opponent will responsed to that move before playing it.

Originally posted by RahimKin game two i should have played Bg5 first and then if black plays Be7 I can then win a pawn by Nxe5. the correct defense to Bg5 is Qd7 though.
Game 1, attacking before finishing development. Left your king in danger.
Game 2, development again. Good sacrifice?
Game 3, Lost because of tactics and not seeing the threat.
Game 4, Not seeing the threat. I don't know you were doing that game. Can't understand your moves.
Game 5, Not seeing the threat again.
I seriously suggest you read my 14 ...[text shortened]... Can't do anything else for you unless you start asking what the threat is before every move.

Alright moving on, What patterns do you guys see in all those games I went over and posted my comments to?
I gave 2 already.
We will continue after all the patterns are found and posted on here, so who ever wants this thread to continue and want help getting to 1600 should start finding the patterns and posting them. Good luck 🙂

If no one does this i'm not going further. Waste of my time to help people when they won't help themselves.
I already listed 2 patterns. It not hard, look at my comments about the games and tell me the other patterns you see or common themes between the loses.
