Hi Frank,  thanks for the suggestions.  If I only had the money for a coach... I
haven't had much time to develop my game because of work and I have been running
on 2-4 hrs of sleep so I really played bad.  I ran my game through Fritz 7 and
very few of my moves were judged to be bad.  I really didn't have a strategy
when playing and that does show, plus I missed an obvious fork.  I could have
hit the rewind button, but I never do that - I just play on instead.  I decided
recently that a 7 minute game is not giving me the time to evaluate my moves
well enough.  Now I play Tournament time 40 moves/1 hour + 20 moves/30 minutes.
I can see a difference in my play.  I am going to post another couple of games
for the fun of it.  I am hoping for human input on my games because computers
can catch obvious blunders but they can not offer advice on strategy.  I
appreciate your reply, thanks, Matt
