Hi AhmedElgendy242 – here is your personalised feedback!

πŸ‘ What you’re already doing well

  • Fearless attacker. You are never shy to throw pieces forward (Nh3/Na3/Nb5, early queens, pawn storms). That fighting spirit will serve you well once it is paired with sound fundamentals.
  • Playing lots of games. Consistent practice is the fastest way to improve. Keep the volume high, but add a dash of structured study.
  • Fast decision-making. Your average move time is low. Speed becomes a weapon after the moves themselves are solid.

πŸ› οΈ Highest-impact areas to work on

1. Opening discipline

Your first 6–8 moves often violate classical principles: the knights head to a6/h6, the queen comes out early, and you move the same piece repeatedly (e.g. 1.e4 Na6 2.Qh5 Nh6 3.d3 Nb4…). Result: pieces end up on the rim, the king stays in the centre and opponents win material with simple tactics.

Action plan
  1. Play one simple setup with both colours for 30 games:
    β€’ As White: 1.e4 β†’ Nf3, Nc3, Bc4/Bb5, d3, 0-0.
    β€’ As Black vs 1.e4: 1…e5 β†’ Nf6, Nc6, Bc5/Bb4, 0-0.
    β€’ As Black vs 1.d4: 1…d5 β†’ Nf6, e6, Be7/Bf5, 0-0.
  2. Castle by move 7–9 every single game.
  3. Do not move the same piece twice in the first 6 moves unless you are winning material.

2. Tactical awareness

Many losses feature loose pieces (e.g. 5…Bxd1 in the Caro-Kann game) or missed mate threats (8…Qh4 9.Rxh4). Training tactics will convert your attacking flair into concrete wins and save material.

Action plan
  • Daily diet of 20–30 puzzles focusing on forks, pins, and mating nets.
  • When it’s your move, ask the two-step question: β€œWhat is my opponent threatening?”  β†’  β€œWhat loose pieces or checks do I have?”
  • Review each finished game for one minute with the analysis board; replay every blunder until you understand it.

3. Time management

You often finish 5-minute games with 4+ minutes left, which means critical positions get only a glance. Spending just 10 extra seconds in the opening to spot obvious tactics will lift your score immediately.

4. King safety

Four of your last five losses happened with your king stuck in the centre. Make β€œcastle early, attack later” your mantra.

πŸ” Illustrative examples

Loss vs JoAnna16434 – early queen trap

After 1.e4 Na6 2.Qh5?! you played 2…Nh6. The simple move 2…Nf6 would hit the queen and develop toward the centre. Edge knights and queen adventures combined to lose material fast.
Try replaying the critical line:


Win vs thebloodsword – converting an attack

Your ...Ng4, ...h5, ...Nc5, ...Ne5, ...Ng6, ...Nxe4 sequence shows creativity. Notice how quickly the position became winning once you also targeted the king with ...Qh4#. Use this as a model: develop first, then unleash tactics.

πŸ—“οΈ Study checklist for the next two weeks

  • Day 1–3: Watch one short video (≀10 min) on opening principles. Play 5 games using only the recommended setup.
  • Every day: 20 puzzles β†’ annotate one finished game (write down biggest mistake + how to avoid).
  • Day 7: Play one 15|10 rapid game, focusing on spending at least 30 s per critical move.
  • Day 14: Review progress; compare new games to the earlier ones – are your knights still on the rim?

πŸš€ Final encouragement

You already have the courage to attack and the dedication to play many games. Put the four building blocks above (solid opening, tactics, time management, king safety) under that fighting spirit and your rating will climb quickly. See you 100 points higher soon – good luck!
