@Peekay from Dom the mod : what you seem not understanding is current forum is for exchanging information and analysis about theory in chess French defense. It's not a hall of fame of chess games starting with of some specific opening moves. If you need an audience, you have many chess clubs for doing that. 

Some years ago I had to clean this forum from posts of chess players trying to be funny by posting raw moves with not a single word ...I will be sorry to do the same for yours, not for my own pleasure, but because other forum visitors want quick access to valuable information, and not browsing irrelevant posts...but of course, as a newbie of current forum, you are granted some time to read other posts (and French defense books) and guess what can be a good thread to open. You can share your ideas but as written analysis displaying information or as entertaining questions...

Exactly as fling says there, yes. Friendly place, no one is lording it, noone being difficult with you, not at all.
Just that this is an opening theory site, and your games are  about stuff like getting pieces out and developing. So, not relevant, and...not here.
No disrespect meant at all, and I do not think any was given by anyone, just that you appear to be in a place that is not a good fit for you, and also not for other forumites. 
Chess.com looks suitable - there is lots of good stuff there. 
Best regards,
B

Peekay, it has nothing to do about complete games or not. It has nothing to do with more or less senior at a site or in chess. It has to do mainly with opening theory. If you play a game that is interesting from that perspective, your are very welcome to post the complete game (if you think it would be relevant). Bibs and Kylemeister have already pointed out a few things that I considered immediately after seeing your initial post.

I'll continue anyway, since you didn't seem to understand what the site is about. If you don't even know what opening your game was played in (the game is not a French, which is one of the more common openings. The opponent's nationality does not count...), you need to consider a forum that is more appropriate. It is useless to talk about opening theory in relation to your games. There is no theory. Just basic chess principles, and for that e.g. Chess.com is likely more suitable for your needs.

If you still think you should post a game that isn't really opening related, you could try the General Chess-section, but again, you need a coaching site, such as chess.com.

If you insist Sad

Most of my games hardly ever go to endgame. So maybe all wins and losses are decided right in the beginning (at max, by move 8),  which takes the discussion solely to the opening philosophy.

But anyway, seeing you are much senior to me in both chess and membership status here, I'd respect your idea and won't post anymore complete games. Perhaps just upto move 8. That ok with the rules?

Again, this is not a free coaching site, but a place to discuss opening theory. Some nice people offering help, but the thrust is theory.
Posting dozens of your games would thus  not really be suitable. You agree?

Well, that isn't really a French, which calls for 2...d5.  It pretty much looks like a game from a chess primer showing what can happen when one side ignores such precepts as fight for the center, develop quickly, castle and so on.


lol. Yes I think the same way. His ultimate downfall began with 15 ... b5

I'd find some games which I lost to French (there are dozens of them). I'd like to learn where I erred.

To be fair, and I mean to be helpful here, this site may not be the best for such questions. 
Chesspublishing is a opening theory site. Quite a lot of detail about opening theory.

Perhaps chess.com would be more helpful for you? Looks like it will be a better fit.

All the best,
B

I played a game against a French (game style, not nationality) guy. Although I have been defeated dozens of times by frenchies (*shameless laughter*), this time somehow everything went in so smooth that aah ... I also don't know which variation of French was he playing lol. My openings are limited to Ponziani :d

Masters please inform if it was my good game that beat him or his reckless gameplay that undermined him. I think I played just ok for a patzer and he didn't observe the patience and coolness which is the core philosophy of French. Btw if he didn't blunder on his last move, or the move before, it was still a lost game for him. I was rolling in all over the board and his king was on his heels :d
