Hey guys, i am really struggling with positional chess. i like to play the queens gambit .. which IS positional. now i am around 1200 and in this range big blunders don´t happen every game but still when I don´t make any major mistakes i lose because i just don´t know where to put my pieces in closed positions, when to push pawns, where to attack. it´s kind of frustrating and i have no idea on how to improve on that. Here´s a recent game for an example: https://www.chess.com/analysis/game/live/127822773117?tab=analysis Would be thankful for any tips and/or someone who wants to practice with me. Cheers!

Can someone please explain to me how the F*** I could lose this game? I traded two minor pieces for my opponents queen and probably should have won. But the queen didn't help me because with all his pieces he could attack from everywhere. I can't believe it. https://www.chess.com/live/game/126132574541

It's amazing - 9 games with no loss - reaching 1000 elo - ever since I can't stop loosing. 7 games in a row. Even took a rest day. Wtf is going on. I'm starting to hate this fucking game. How is this possible? I thought I had that famous "aha-moment", played so well, and boom💥 - loosing loosing loosing loosing loosing. So frustrating
