Then ask a more concrete question. Why are you losing the games you lose now?

I like nagyonnagy's answer very much, actually. Study and study more as he said, with play too. I put in 5000 hours of play and study to make Expert/Master in otb & Postal. Not even GM or IM, just plain old Master. Mostly you need play right now probably tho, until you can keep material equlity and win with material advantage. imo

I looked at some of your games. And you seem to like sharp play. But right now you play more solidly in your defenses to d4, and more closed up games like the Ruy. I liked your defense vs "Tines... " by the way. And you have defended pretty well vs those players saccing on f7 vs your Siclian. They'll probably stop doing that pretty soon~! Laughing

If I were you I would continue playing a lot and work on improving your analysis ability. Strive to be able to see at least 4 whole moves ahead acurately for a start. (In my otb tournament experience, that is often enough to play well for the opening and middle game of most games, and win a lot. Sometimes 8, rarely 10 or more in combinations. Of course endgames are often known & seen for many moves but is much easier then)

Analysis IS KEY to winning. I think in a game between someone who knows more and someone who can just analyze better, the latter has the advantage if it gets tactical. For eg, think of how many games computers win even with their Openings Book turned off.

Also work on knowing your openings very well for the first dozen moves. When you have them well known that far, then you can study another dosen moves from those most common positions. Since you like sharp play, you can be a good openings player and learn to come out of them ahead.

I think you are not yet keeping games materially even enough yet to benefit from endgames study. (I was over 2000 Elo in otb before studying more that the two most common, K+P's and R+P's). First learn now the Basic endgame mates such as Two B's vs K, R+K vs K done correctly, and any you don't know. Then later the two endgames mentioned will likely be in well over half of your games and good to learn.

Everytime you play a game, try to figure out where you first went wrong, or lost material ... then find a better move & idea for next time. Then you always get a little bit better each game.

I don't need to say "play fearlessly" to learn all you can from the game. You already DO THAT~! Laughing So good luck on your Chess.

If I were to make a list of an order, perhaps:

1.Learn to analyze well is most important, but an ongoing thing too. 2.Learn several openings you like the play of. Also general principles of opening development and center play. 3.Learn how to maintain matierial equality. To play without having anything taken from you. How to defend against material loss. Then 4. Forget that awhile and learn to attack at all costs, even if unsoundly at first. Or even if it hurts your pawn formation etc. And learn some Gambit openings to aid that. The attacking will also help you learn how to defend your king, because your oppoents are going to show you that when you attack them. 5.Learn those two most common endgames. 6.Learn about pawn formations and pawn play such as Levers, Duo's, passed pawns, Protected passed pawns etc. 7.When someone defeats you with something you do not understand how to meet, turn it around and use it yourself against someone else. You will either find they cannot meet it either, or they beat you which shows you how to meet it yourself. Then take that and play it against that first guy that beat you!

Thats an awful lot to do right there. And actually, I need a break. There's a lot I've missed ... because it would make a book. And some other players can mention them. Number 11 on the list would be 11.Always learn as much as you can. Learn from every game & learn from everyone.
