Hi Amiram1212! 🌟  Here’s an objective review of your recent play and a roadmap for steady improvement.

1. Quick Snapshot

• Current peak: 486 (2025-05-09)
• Activity pattern:

2. What You’re Doing Well

• Tactical Alertness. Your last win versus songtanaa featured the neat miniature 10.Qxf7# (see full sequence below). Spotting mating nets so early shows sharp calculation skills.
• Psychology  ▶ Unorthodox first moves (2.Qf3, 1.h4, early g-pawn storms) unsettle many opponents and harvest quick blunders.
• Speed. You play confidently and usually stay ahead on the clock—an asset in 10 | 0 games.
• Fighting Spirit. Even in worse positions you keep looking for resources (e.g. perpetual-seek attempts in your Scandinavian loss).

3. Main Growth Areas

• Opening Fundamentals. Early queen sorties often succeed against sub-270 players but backfire versus stronger opposition (see losses to Johannespotetmos and Zachary-02). Aim for develop-first-attack-later structures.
  • Try adding one classical line to each colour repertoire—e.g. the Italian Game as White, the Caro-Kann as Black—so you can fall back on solid plans if the surprise weapons fail.
• King Safety. Several defeats stem from leaving your monarch in the centre (…Ke7, …Kd6). A good rule of thumb: castle (or force your opponent to waste tempi preventing it) before launching pawn storms.
• Conversion Technique. In the loss to 0muhanned you reached an extra exchange and passer but drifted into a lost endgame. Endgame fundamentals—opposition, outside passed pawn, rook activity—will convert many half-points.
  • 15 minutes per session on rook-and-pawn endings will pay off faster than memorising more gambits.
• Piece Coordination. Your pieces sometimes work alone (e.g. lone queen checks while the rest stay undeveloped). Strive to bring at least three pieces to an attack—a classic “rule of three”.
• Impulse Pawn Pushes. Moves like …h5/…g5 (vs amirfooladii) weakened dark squares and invited tactical blows. Before pushing wing pawns, ask: “Am I opening files towards my own king?”.

4. Action Plan for the Next Month

1. Balanced Opening Repertoire
   • Pick one mainline system with clear strategic ideas.
   • Play it in 50 % of your games, keeping your surprise lines for the rest.
2. Structured Post-Game Review
   • Immediately after each session, tag the critical moment where the evaluation swung the most.
   • Use the question “Could I have improved development or king safety at this point?”.
3. Tactics → Strategy → Endgames Cycle
   • 15 min tactics drills (mixed motifs).
   • 10 min strategic concept study: pawn breaks, weak squares, good vs bad bishop.
   • 15 min practical endgames (rook vs pawns, minor-piece endings).
4. Time Management Drill
   • Once per week play two 15 | 10 games, forcing yourself to spend at least 30 seconds on every non-forced move until move 15. This cultivates deeper calculation habits transferable to faster time controls.

5. Illustrative Mini-Game

Below is the 10-move knockout you delivered against Songtanaa. When you adopt more solid openings and keep this tactical eye, you’ll be lethal!

6. Key Terms to Review

7. Motivation Boost 🔥

Your creativity is a genuine strength—many players never develop it. Blend that creativity with sound structure and you’ll break the 1400-rapid barrier sooner than you think. Keep the board lively, keep learning, and enjoy the journey!
