I have noticed that chess.com gives the name of the opening but not the rest of the moves if you self analyze. Players would do much better if they knew and played at least 10 moves into an opening.
Ive been hearing that people have been losing because they dont have very good openings. Ive learned the hard way not to bring my queen out early. nevermind the fact that the black pieces arent moving, but look at this, its called the fianchetto:

The opponent will be so angry and make a stupid move trying to get at your king. Dont forget this is sicilian, so always do it on your king side.
