Hi Abub777 – here’s some personalised feedback to help you level-up!

👍 What you’re already doing well

• Conversion in won positions. In your recent win vs. chesstera987 you calmly advanced the passed b-pawn and promoted (…b3–b2–b1=Q), showing you can keep your head when ahead.
• Active piece play. You rarely leave pieces undeveloped for long – you often get both knights and at least one bishop out within the first 6-7 moves.
• Practical fighting spirit. You’re willing to sacrifice material for activity; this is excellent for tactical growth – just make sure it’s sound (see below).

🚩 Key themes to improve

1. King safety – beware the “f-pawn habit”.
   Moves such as f3 (games on 10 Jan & 7 Jan) or …f6/…f5 (loss on 14 Jan) weaken your king and block your own minor pieces.
   • Ask yourself before pushing the f-pawn: “Will my king still be safe? Does it help my development?” If not, hold it.
2. Early queen adventures.
   In several games you played …Qg5, …Qh4, or Qa5 by move 4-5. The queen became a target and you fell behind in development. Develop minor pieces first; bring the queen only when it creates a clear threat or supports castling long.
3. Tactical blunders – hanging pieces & back-rank mates.
   In your loss to izbandot you missed 22.Rc8#, and on 12 Jan you lost after 20…Bxa1?? dropping a rook.
   • Daily habit: 10–15 puzzles focusing on forks, pins and basic mates (fork, pin, back-rank mate).
   • Quick double-check: before every move, scan “What did my last move leave undefended?”.
4. Opening structure.
   Steer toward classical set-ups: two centre pawns, knights to f3/c3 (or f6/c6), bishops to safe diagonals, castle, then play pawn breaks. That alone will avoid most early accidents.
5. Time management.
   You often reach move 25 with 1-2 minutes while opponents still have 4-5. Try the “30-second rule”: move quickly in familiar positions so you can invest time when the position gets sharp.

📈 Mini progress snapshot

Your best recorded rating so far: 829 (2024-01-04). Keep an eye on these trend charts to monitor consistency:

 

🔍 Example to study

Notice how the following sequence from your latest win could be improved even further – Black’s 3…Qg5 allowed White to chase the queen and win tempo. Replay and ask “What would happen if I simply developed with …Nf6 or …Bc5 instead?”

🎯 Action plan for the next two weeks

• Solve 30 tactical puzzles (15 mins/day). Focus on mates in 1-3 and elementary forks.
• Play three 10|5 games a day where you promise to castle before move 10 unless illegal.
• After each game, identify one move where you lost material or tempo and write down why it happened.
• Review one master game with the same opening you used (YouTube or database) – note how masters delay queen moves and maintain pawn safety.

✨ Keep going!

Small, consistent improvements will push you past 800+ quickly. Stick to sound opening principles, guard your king, and sharpen tactics – the rating gains will follow. Good luck, and enjoy the journey!
