Olá, GM Evandro!
Parabéns pelo excelente volume de vitórias recentes ({{winsCount}}-{{lossesCount}} nos últimos jogos) e pelo 2874 (2024-07-08) impressionante! Abaixo vai um feedback objetivo, baseado nos PGNs mais recentes:
O que está funcionando bem
- Agressividade controlada nas defesas Francesa e Siciliana. Na vitória contra smallbaba você igualou rapidamente e contra-atacou no centro com ...c5 e ...f5, convertendo uma vantagem estrutural em final.
- Gestão de fraquezas dinâmicas. Diversas partidas mostram boa noção de quando trocar peões centrais para criar alvos em c3, c4 ou f2/f7.
- Capacidade tática. A sequência 27…Rd2!! na primeira partida é um bom exemplo do seu faro tático.
Pontos a lapidar
- Gestão de tempo. Quatro das suas últimas derrotas foram por queda de tempo em posições próximas de igualdade ou até ganhas. Mesmo quando está melhor, você chega a <10 s com diversos lances complexos pela frente. Pratique rotinas de pré-movimentos seguros em finais simples e busque simplificar antes de entrar em zeitnot.
- Estruturas de peão d4-c4 (QGD/Benoni). Nas derrotas para supercaballo20 e 1800_strength surgiram problemas de casa fraca em e5/d4 e colunas semi-abertas mal exploradas. Reveja planos típicos de QGD Tarrasch e Benoni Moderna: …c4!, …b5-b4 ou …f5 podem aliviar a pressão.
- Conversão de vantagem em finais simplificados. Houve posições claramente ganhas (por ex. final torre+peão extra vs. Trig_King) que escaparam. Treine finais técnicos — comece pelo clássico “torre + quatro vs. torre + três” até completar o “50 posiciones críticas” de De la Villa.
Recomendações práticas
- Upgrade no repertório vs. 1.d4 cxd5 (Estrutura QGD). Experimente linhas Semislav com ...c6 e ...dxc4, onde você se sente confortável em finais de bispo par.
- Blitz consciente. Jogue 10′+0 contra engine de 2600 no Chess.com focando apenas em gestão de tempo; force-se a ter ≥60 s após o lance 20.
- Checklist de final. Ao trocar damas, passe mentalmente por: (1) Atividade do rei, (2) Estrutura de peões, (3) Peões passados, (4) Pior peça do adversário — e já crie um plano de 2-3 lances antes de executar a troca.
- Revisão tática diária. 20 puzzles “survival” + 5 minutos de cálculo profundo em dois exercícios complexos. Priorize temas de zugzwang zugzwang e deflexão.
Métricas rápidas
Seu desempenho por hora e por dia da semana sugere picos claros:
Modelo de estudo
• Segunda-feira: 30′ finais teóricos + 30′ revisão de partidas clásicas.
• Terça-feira: 45′ táctica intensiva.
• Quarta-feira: 3 blitz 5′+5″ aplicando gestão de tempo.
• Quinta-feira: Análise profunda de uma derrota (ex.: contra supercaballo20).
• Sexta-feira: Treino de abertura com sparring.
• Fim de semana: Torneio rápido + revisão.
