Feedback for Alessia Santeramo

Alessia, your recent games demonstrate a strong positional understanding and aggressive attacking play, which is excellent at your level. Your tactical alertness is also impressive, with some well-executed combinations leading to decisive victories.

Strengths:

  • Opening Variety: You have shown flexibility in your openings, handling the Ruy Lopez, Owens Defense, and Scandinavian Defense with confidence. This versatility is key to adapting to different opponents.
  • Endgame Technique: Your wins often come from precise play in the endgame, showcasing good calculation and awareness of key positional factors.
  • Effective Attacks: Many of your victories involve launching strong attacks leading to checkmate or material gain. Your ability to capitalize on opponent mistakes is a vital skill.

Areas for Improvement:

  • Time Management: In some games, time pressure seems to have affected your decision-making. Try to allocate your clock more evenly, especially during critical moments to avoid rushed moves.
  • Handling Pressure in Complex Positions: A few losses suggest that under sustained opponent activity or complex tactical sequences, defensive accuracy could be improved. Focus on reinforcing your calculation and awareness in such positions.
  • Trading Decisions: Review your exchanges carefully—sometimes giving up important squares or activity leads to gradual disadvantage. Aim to make trades that improve your position or reduce opponent's counterplay.

Suggested Focus Areas:

  • Practice tactical puzzles regularly to sharpen pattern recognition and calculation speed.
  • Analyze your recent losses to identify recurring positional or tactical pitfalls.
  • Improve your opening repertoire by deepening knowledge of typical plans and pawn structures in your favorite openings.
  • Work on time management techniques such as practicing faster time controls or using a chess clock consistently during training.

Keep up the great work, Alessia! Your recent games show that you are on the right track. Continuous practice and targeted study will help you convert your good positions into wins more consistently.
