I will at least draw this game

[Chessqueen]

I believe that the best way to increase your Elo is to get an engine that is close to your rating and after you beat it select another engine a little bit better and so on and so on....

NOTE: Noticed how the my opponent Bishop became useless. Please do NOT make fun of me it is my way of finally improving. Next game will be against Rainman engine

Nothing to 'make fun of' here...
The best way to improve is to play and apply yourself (and what you know) in game situations. So...go with it.
No interest in seeing the games though, but good luck!

Thanks, that is a good advice, I am finally managing to control my anxiety and, now I can use all those books knowledges that I acquired after reading more than 30 chess book in the last 13 month, plus I have figured out how to reduce 50% of my Blunders percentage by watching this video ==> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_h4KLNqvLWw

I will definitively beat this Clownfish chess engine, lately I have absorb a lot of chess Knowledge by reading chess books in the last 13 months, lets see what happens in the next 10 minutes
NOTE: This is the only Opening that I have been playing in Chess.com as Black in the last 3 weeks, I have played over 900 games as Black with the same Opening, so probably one of you had played against me, usual time control is game in 3 minutes and 2 seconds increment.

This was the last game,I will NOT play anymore games against these engines, anyway you might already played a few games against me as a Guess, the usual time control is 3+2 in chess Com, in total I have played around 1800 games using the same Opening as White and the exact same Opening as Black, it is better to become a master in your openings then trying a different Opening everytime and NOT knowing what you are doing
