Hi Maximiliano, here is your personalized training feedback

1. What you are already doing well

• Fighting spirit against strong opposition. Your win against 69360420obama (2553) in the French Fort-Knox shows that you can out-calculate and out-maneuver higher-rated players in sharp middlegames.
• Opening variety as Black. French, Caro-Kann, Pirc, Grunfeld and even off-beat Larsen setups appear in your repertoire. This flexibility makes you harder to prepare for.
• Tactical alertness. In several wins you spotted intermediate moves (…Rxe3+, …Rxc3+, …Nxe6) that changed the course of the game immediately.

2. Main recurring issues

1. Time management (biggest single leak).
   • 4 of your last 7 losses came only because the flag fell in roughly equal or even better positions.
   • You often reach move 20 with <45 s while your opponent still has ~1 min.
   Action plan:
   • Adopt a “minimum 10 s” rule: never let the clock dip below 10 s during the first 25 moves. If you do, force yourself to blitz the next 2–3 moves to catch up.
   • Play a daily set of 10 bullet tactics on Chess.com’s Puzzle Rush to train quick pattern recognition under time stress.
   • Insert a quick “almost pre-move” in simple recapture situations to save half-seconds.
2. Endgame conversion & technique. Two time-outs (vs Nenad Purić and fakefiction_1) occurred in technically drawable or even holdable endings. You knew what to do, but you moved too slowly.
   Action plan:
   • Study one concise endgame chapter per week (e.g. rook vs pawn, opposite-coloured bishops). Choose a trusted source and keep a notebook.
   • Solve 5 “move-in-10 s” drill positions daily on a mobile app. Emphasise technique, not beauty.
3. Transition decisions in the Maroczy/Bind structures.
   In the loss against fakefiction_1 you pushed 22.c5? while lagging in development and invited …dxc5 …Rd8. The pawn structure you fought for turned into a target.
   Action plan:
   • Revisit typical plans in the Accelerated Dragon: a) slow bind with Be3–Qd2–0-0-0, b) quick central break f4–e5, c) sidestepping trades with Bb3/Kh1.
   • Memorise the following reference line and annotate it:
     
     .

3. Quick opening pointers

4. Mental checklist for each game

1. Is my king safe? (Castled, no loose dark squares?)
2. What is my next clock milestone? ( >1 min at move 15, >30 s at move 25, >15 s at move 35 )
3. Can I improve the worst-placed piece before I calculate a forcing line?
4. Endgame on the horizon? Trade into favourable pawn structure or keep tension?

5. Stats snapshot

6. Next steps (3-week micro-plan)

• Week 1: 15-min session reviewing rook endings; play ONLY 3-minute games and apply the 10-second rule.
• Week 2: Analyse two losses where you flagged. Write one sentence describing the mistake right before clock trouble.
• Week 3: Collect 5 Accelerated Dragon model games; replay them without engine aid and verbalise plans out loud.

Stay consistent, measure your progress, and keep enjoying the grind. See you at the next training session!
