Game 1

Too many blunders to talk strategy on this one. tpr's suggestion about turning on move confirm is a good one. I might suggest both players start playing 30+0 time controls and actually use the time.

Game 2

Again, terrible blunders by both sides.

There are blunders and then there are "terrible" blunders. 100 - 200 rating points are waiting for you if you learn to eliminate the "terrible" ones. A further 100 - 200 points after that for getting rid of the "normal" ones.

Once you are 1500+, then its time to talk strategy. Right now, tactics and blunder checking should be priority 1, 2 and 3.
@Celestial_Object thank you very much for such constructive feed back. I agree I definitely got greedy and carried away. It reminded me of my early days dominating the 900's with the queens wayward attack... But yes Qa4 makes a lot of sense now that it is shown to me and its value explained. Again thank you for your time.

@MajorGiggles thank you as well for explaining the importance of the time management. I agree that if I was able to eliminate those blunders that really come from not taking to analyze the entire board and what happens next I could surely gain more rating. I think sometime I play some brilliant combinations and then blow my lead entirely and have to rebuild an advantage if and when I can.

I do already play classical. I still blunder but less frequently. I try to train on puzzles as often as I can but I feel comfortable with my rate of improvement since joining. I really do value the feedback of you more experienced players but the explanations you take the time to make are of tremendous help as well. Much appreciation to all who have given feedback.
