Great job on your recent games! Your win against FeniksTT showed strong opening preparation and tactical awareness, especially with your well-timed Ne5 to open lines and exploit weaknesses around Black’s king. Transitioning to a solid queen-side development with timely castling helped you maintain the initiative confidently.
Here are some specific points to keep working on to improve your play further:
- Opening consistency: Your choice of the London System and Nimzowitsch-Larsen Attack gives you flexible, solid positions. Keep deepening your understanding of typical plans and pawn structures in these openings to outmaneuver your opponents early on.
- Calculation and tactics: Your decisive tactics in several games were impressive. Continue practicing puzzles to sharpen your tactical vision, especially looking out for intermediate moves and checking your opponent’s counterplay possibilities.
- Time management: Notice that some of your losses stemmed from time pressure issues (e.g., the game against x-1231521474). Try to keep track of your clock so you can avoid rushed decisions in complex positions.
- Endgame technique: Your ability to convert strong positions into wins is good, as seen in your victory against DonkyDonkyDonkey. For further improvement, study some fundamental endgames to make even more accurate and confident decisions when fewer pieces remain.
- Handling stronger opposition: In losses against higher-rated players, focus on maintaining tension and avoiding premature simplifications that might favor your opponent. Sometimes positional patience and prophylactic moves can create better chances.
Keep analyzing your games deeply, especially the moments where the evaluation shifted. Using fenikstt’s game and your others as study material is valuable. Continue playing regularly and reviewing your openings, middlegame plans, and endgame skills.
You're showing steady progress and solid chess understanding. Keep up the hard work and enjoy your journey!
