Here is an example of my main weakness.   I won this game, but I did not see that I could have had that rook for free until I ran the analysis.  Unbelievable.  The "??" is the computer telling me the move I made was a blunder.  And the arrow is the computer telling me the move I should have made.  How do I miss stuff like that?

OK, that wasn't exactly an aggressive move!  You're down a pawn, but have a much stronger position.....should be a win for white.  I assume the program you're playing notates the game and allows you to return to any move number and replay?  You might find that helpful.

I assume black's last move was P-QB4 (B5)?

PS  When you have that kind of positional advantage, ATTACK!!!  Push the Queen's pawn for all it's worth!
