Hi Anshul — here’s your personalised game review
Your current landmarks
• Peak rapid rating: 758 (2025-07-24)
• Favourite Black set-up: Pirc / Modern (…d6 …Nf6 …e5).
• Typical White choices: flexible Nf3-d4 systems and the Italian Game.
• Tactical style: you look for direct king attacks and aren’t afraid of material imbalances.
What you already do well
- Tactical eyesight in mutual time trouble. Several recent wins, e.g. 30.Qxg7# vs caiopichi, show sharp vision when both clocks are low.
- Thematic rook lifts in the Pirc. Plans like …Rg6/…Rg4 or …Rf8-f7-g7 appear in many of your victories — keep developing these attacking patterns.
- Converting simple end-games. When you are clearly ahead you usually trade queens and push the passer smoothly (mate vs ethfzyx).
Main improvement opportunities
- Opening understanding, not memorisation
After the first 8 moves you sometimes drift (loss vs Harsh_goyal7, move 11.Qe2). Pick ONE main line with each colour and learn its typical plans and pawn-structure ideas. - King safety in the Pirc
…gxf6 or premature …g6 can leave dark-square holes. Consider castling faster or trying the Lion/Philidor with …Be7 instead of …Bh6. - Material vs activity
In the April loss you grabbed a pawn with …Bxa4 only to get trapped. Before taking loose pawns ask: “Are all my pieces needed elsewhere in two moves?” The three-question-method helps. - Clock management
Two April games were lost on time in balanced positions. Aim to finish the opening with ≥ 60 % of your starting time; blitz through forced recaptures and spend the saved seconds on critical moments.
