Hi everyone,

I am currently having some problems with my game. Over the last year I have been playing against better players in tournaments and whilst representing my city in our county league. What I am finding is that I am losing games not through being outclassed but through unforced errors. A typical match might be losing 3-1 (although about 30% go to 5) with each game me either losing or winning by 3-4 points.

Clearly consistency is an area I need to look at but what other advice could you offer in terms of bridging the 3-4 point divide in order to turn these matches into wins.

Thanks in advance

i think you worry about winning too much.the more relaxed you are,the better you play.

3-4 points per game improvement vs similar level players represents 2-3 full levels of improvement, that is a lot to ask for right away.

have someone who knows what they are doing look at you play, listen to what he or she says you are doing wrong, why you are doing it wrong, and what you need to do to fix it.

We can say some general things like, bend Ur knees, relax, don't be tight, but we really gotta see you in action to know what you need.
