Amjad_Hour – Personal Game-Plan

Personal best (Rapid): 1589 (2025-03-31)
What already works
- Initiative hunter. You willingly sacrifice pawns or structure to seize lines (see the 18.Qh7# miniature versus mamutkarkonosze).
- Piece activity out of the opening. In your win against chakradev141 you developed quickly, castled long and doubled rooks on the g-file, forcing your opponent into time trouble.
- Pattern recognition. Themes such as the classic bishop-on-d3 + queen-on-h7 mate appear frequently in your games—keep nurturing this attacking instinct.
Biggest improvement levers
- King safety first
• Several losses (e.g. vs rasel0176 and petrit1234) begin with early pawn thrusts g4/h4 or repeated king moves (…Kf8-e8-g8).
• Rule of thumb: finish development & castle before expanding on the flanks. - Central tension & the Philidor
• As Black you often allow White a free hand in the centre. Memorise the main Philidor set-up: …Nbd7, …Be7, …c6, …Qc7, …Re8—then break with …d5.
• Consider testing 1…e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 or the Caro-Kann for a more active learning curve. - Tactical alertness
• The fork 24…Ne2+ (loss to Petrit1234) and back-rank shots in other games were avoidable.
• Prescription: 15 daily puzzles focused on forks, skewers and double attacks. - End-game technique
• A drawable R+N ending versus Yusuf786110 slipped away after move 50.
• Weekly end-game dose: king opposition → basic rook endings → Lucena & Philidor positions.
Opening clinic
| With White | With Black |
|---|---|
|
• Your 3.Bc4 Italian setup is solid; versus the Scandinavian switch to 3.Nf3 or 3.d4 to fight the queen immediately. • Skip automatic moves like a3/h3 unless they serve a concrete goal. |
• If you keep the Philidor, rehearse the tabiya shown above. • Experiment with the Open Games (1…e5) for quicker piece activity. |
Highlight to emulate
Four-week training road-map
- Week 1: 100 tactical puzzles (forks & back-rank themes); annotate the last three losses.
- Week 2: Watch one lesson on Philidor plans; play 10 games applying the …d5 timing, write a one-sentence takeaway after each.
- Week 3: End-game boot camp—king & pawn basics plus 20 rook-ending drills.
- Week 4: Opening diversification—play at least five games with 1…e5 or the Caro-Kann; note which middlegame positions you enjoy.
Next milestone
If you follow the routine above, eliminating one blunder per game and tightening king safety, cracking the 1500 barrier in the next month is realistic. Keep the king safe, seize the centre, and enjoy the journey—good luck!
