Mistake for stronger players too Game 2573219
But I would've played 13.Be3 instead of his 13.Re3 and I think White wins on move 28.Nxg8+ Rxg8 29.Bxd5 instead of 28.Nxg4?

If you really want to stay below 1400, then all you have to do is start some games. After a week, start some games again. And nothing more.
But to be serious, a big mistake is that people ,when they find a (probably) good move, play it out immediately. Take some time, set up the position on a real board (or use 'analyze board' (I prefer a real board)), look for the best answers your opponent can do. Look again, maybe there are some better moves. Look for sacrifices, maybe there is one, that gives you a strong attack or even allows you to mate your opponent. As Emanuel Lasker has said: "When you find a good move, wait! Maybe there is a better one."
1. Bring the queen out early.
2. Make sure to move at every piece at least twice in the opening.
3. Try not to place your pieces past the 4th rank.
4. Move rook pawns first.
5. Be sure to put the king right out in the middle of the board. But in the endgame, make sure he stays tucked in the corner.
6. It's never too early to give up. Be sure to resign often.

Suggestions please! My first.
[b]1. Never spend time on your games. 5 seconds a move is more than enough.
All you bright fellows lets hear your suggestions here rather than in the threads about improving.[/b]
