Hi Ndalo!

Great job playing regularly and already picking up several convincing wins. Your games show creativity and a willingness to fight in complicated positions. Below is a balanced review of your recent play, followed by a concrete action-plan.

What you are doing well

  • Fighting spirit & resilience. Even when the position is unclear you keep looking for practical chances and often win on the clock.
  • Space-gaining pawn pushes. Early advances with d4, e4/e5 and flank pawns give you good central control and attacking prospects.
  • Basic tactical awareness. Capturing loose pieces and spotting forks such as Nb5–c7+ in the Alekhine’s Defence game shows growing pattern recognition.

Biggest improvement opportunities

  1. Opening fundamentals.
    • Develop pieces before launching side-pawn storms (e.g. h4 on move 5).
    • Castle promptly—staying in the centre cost you in the laiwatt game.
    • When up in development, open lines; when behind, close them.
  2. Tactics & calculation.
    Several losses featured missed forks, pins and simple mating nets. Regularly practise 5-minute puzzle rush or “custom puzzles” that focus on the themes of fork, pin and discovered attack.
  3. End-game technique.
    In your wins you often reach winning endgames but rely on the opponent’s clock. Learn a few key endings (K+P vs K, rook endings, basic mates) so you convert confidently even with little time.
  4. Time management.
    You spend too much time on routine moves and then blitz out critical positions. Aim to keep at least half your time by move 20 in 10 + 10 games.

Highlighted game

Study your most recent rapid win and look for moments where faster development or simpler choices would have given you an even cleaner victory:


Two-week improvement plan

  • Play 8 rapid (10 + 10) games focusing on the three opening principles: develop, castle, connect rooks.
  • Complete 150 tactical puzzles (≈15 per day) with accuracy >70 %.
  • Study one basic end-game each evening (YouTube or book is fine—keep notes in your own words).
  • Annotate every loss in 10-15 sentences; look for the first moment the evaluation dipped.
