What's the one aspect of your game that you feel is weakest?
At the moment I'm concentrating on the middlegame, but about to focus on endgames as I suck at them.
I only suck at longer control games. My endgame skills are formidable, in my humble opinion.

hey thanks 
Why are everybody good in chess?
I think it is all about playing, then studying and learning from the outcomes. ALWAYS make sure you understood what happened, use analysers, theory etc... as helpers.
You might find something that helps you here....
