Hi Aleksandre!
Below is some personalised, constructive feedback based on your recent games as Aevengho. Keep in mind that the remarks focus on patterns that appear repeatedly, rather than on one-off slips.
1. What you are already doing well
- Dynamic piece play. In your latest win you punished 14…Qa5 15.O-O-O Qxc3+ with fearless king-side castling, seizing the initiative and never letting go.
- Tactical alertness. You spot motifs such as forks (e.g. 19.Nxc7! in the recent loss) and skewers quickly. Puzzle Rush scores confirm this strength.
- Pressure on move 1. With White you regularly choose ambitious systems (1.e4 followed by f4, or Nf3/Nc3 transpositions) that force opponents to think for themselves.
2. Key areas to improve
- Time management. Your only loss on 26-Jan was on time from a roughly equal position. Make a conscious decision to move every three seconds in quiet positions; save the long thinks for true branch points.
- Over-extended pawn pushes. In several defeats (e.g. vs Renato Terry and Oleksandr Bortnyk) early h- and a-pawns created weaknesses behind them. Before advancing a flank pawn ask, “Can my opponent hit the square I just weakened?”—classic prophylaxis.
- End-game conversion. You’re excellent at reaching winning positions but sometimes struggle to close the deal. In the 18-Dec win vs Flachess10 you mated, yet needed 60 moves from an objectively won middle-game. Sharpen basic rook-endgame technique and the principle of activity over material.
- Opening depth. Your repertoire (Modern/Pirc, Alekhine, and hyper-modern set-ups with White) is sound, but many opponents reach comfortable equality. Add one solid main-line choice each side—e.g. Classical Pirc with …Nc6 instead of early …c6, and versus 1.e4 consider a Najdorf or Petroff to diversify.
3. Concrete action plan
- Clock discipline drill. Play ten 3|2 games where your goal is never to drop below 40 seconds. Review any move you spent >10 s on—was that time actually needed?
- Structured opening study. Build a mini-rep: choose one main line you meet often (e.g. Pirc <=> 4.Be3) and prepare five key ideas. Use the first ten moves of master games as flash-cards.
- End-game routine. Every training session, solve 3 end-game drills (rook + pawn vs rook, bishop of wrong colour, etc.) until you can beat the engine in under 1 minute.
4. Suggested resources during practice
- Daily Custom Puzzle set: “between move 15-30, rating 2200-2600” – mirrors your critical moments.
- Replay Capablanca’s technical wins to internalise simplification.
- Keep a “mistake journal”: after each session, note one missed zwischenzug or oversight and how to avoid it next time.

Annotate moves 19-25 in particular—this is where the evaluation swung.
Final words
You are already a strong tactical player around 2300-2700 blitz level. By tightening time usage, adding one solid main-line opening, and polishing technical end-games you can realistically push towards 2800 blitz in the next few months.
Good luck, train smart, and enjoy the journey!
