Thanks a lot for your advice guys. I play with a good teacher at school, and beleive it or not, he says that I don't protect my king very much. He says that I could try to improve protecting the king.
I think the problem with me is that I seem too busy attacking, rather than taking care of my king (which is what I should be doing!)

But we talked about this already. Learn from that mistake and move on.
