When you are scoring best:
What you already do well
- Initiative & Tactical Awareness. Your wins often start with energetic moves such as …Bg4 or …Be4 that create immediate threats and keep your opponent reacting.
- Piece Activity. You rarely leave pieces idle; rooks are doubled quickly and bishops are re-routed to killer diagonals the moment a file or diagonal opens.
- Clock Practicality. Most victories arrive with a healthy time edge—evidence that you can keep the pressure up in 3-minute games.
Biggest improvement opportunities
-
Opening discipline – central control first, pawn grabbing later.
• Against alza11 the early 5…Bxd4? (“free” pawn) left you under-developed; after 10 moves you were already defending.
• Rule of thumb: before move 8 do not move the same minor piece twice unless you win clear material or cripple the opponent’s structure. -
King safety & pawn structure.
Early queen adventures (e.g. Qh5-Qf3 system in the Bishop’s Opening) often provoke …g6/…h6 from Black, but they also delay your own castling and create dark-square holes. The loss to fatharry came from those very weaknesses.
Build a habit: after every pawn push ask, “Does this create a square my opponent can occupy with tempo?”. -
Blunder-check routine.
Many defeats stem from one tactical oversight—24.Rb7! in the Alza11 game or 32…Re1+ turning the tables against olan32k.
Add a 5-second scan for checks, captures, threats before you release the mouse. -
End-game conversion & clock control.
The timeout vs covax1980 occurred in a rook ending you could still save. Memorise the Lucena, Philidor and opposition positions so you can play them fast when time is low.
Training plan for the next 4–6 weeks
- 15 defensive puzzles a day (pins, back-rank mate, discovered attack).
- Streamline openings:
• As Black vs 1.e4 pick a solid backbone (e.g. French Defense main lines) instead of the early …Bc5 gambits.
• As White choose either a classical Italian or a London/Torre setup—learn why behind the first 8–10 moves. - Play two 10|0 games each week and self-annotate before using an engine.
- Weekend drill: 20 rook-and-pawn endings to boost speed and confidence.
