Hi Ana, here is your personalized post-match feedback!
What you are doing well
- Active piece play from move one. Your wins against mhond_ss and BTLBLUES show confident development and early central control, often seizing the initiative.
- Feel for dynamic imbalances. In the B54 Sicilian you willingly ceded space for long-term counter-play on the c-file and dark squares—exactly the right idea in that structure.
- Tactical awareness. Exchanges such as 20.Rxf7! in the French (vs viniciusikeda) demonstrate good calculation when opportunities appear.
- Opening variety. As Black you have employed the Najdorf, Classical Sicilian and French; as White you steer games toward tactical Owens- and Sicilian-type positions—useful for avoiding predictability.
Key growth areas
- Conversion technique. The repetition 39…Rd7/40…Rd7/41…Rd7 against mhond_ss cost half a minute and let the opponent stay alive. Practise technical endings (R+P vs R; R+R vs R+R) to shorten the win path.
- Time management. Four of your last six losses were on the clock. You spend ~40 % of your time in the first 10 moves, then sprint later. Aim for a 20-30-50 split (opening-middlegame-endgame) instead.
- King safety when pushing flank pawns. In losses to yelinaungida and chessschool64 premature …b5 or …g5 created holes on the dark squares. Make a quick blunder-check—“Are two files near my king now open?”—before advancing wing pawns.
- Handling closed centres. The French Tarrasch game showed hesitation against …c5/…f6 breaks. Review model games where White keeps tension and re-routes knights (Nd2-f3-e5 or Nb3-c5).
Action plan for the next two weeks
| Theme | Exercise | Goal |
|---|---|---|
| Technical endgames | Play 20 R ♖ vs R bot matches at depth-10; start from a pawn up and convert. | Win ≥70 % within 60 s per side. |
| French Tarrasch structures | Scan 5 annotated games by Karpov-Short 1992–93; recreate plans on a board. | Know three typical manoeuvres & pawn breaks. |
| Time-use discipline | During blitz, force yourself to move by 2:30, 2:00 and 1:00 marks. | No more losses on time this week. |
| Tactics refresh | 30 daily puzzles, pattern “deflection & clearance”. | 90 % accuracy at 2200 puzzle rating. |
Opening notes
- White vs French – Tarrasch: After 6.Nf3 Nc6 7.Ne2 avoid the early 9.Qb3?! line; modern practice favours 9.Be2 or 9.a3 keeping queens. This prevents the freeing …f6 idea you faced.
- Black vs 1.e4 – Sicilian Najdorf: Your setup with …a6, …e5, …Be7 is sound. Add the thematic exchange-sac idea …Rxc3 followed by …d5—useful when White plays Bc4.
Endgame snapshot
The diagram below (move 55 of your win vs mhond_ss) is a classic Lucena-type build-a-bridge. Practise similar constructions until they are second nature.
Keep the momentum!
Your peak blitz rating is 2231 (2024-02-16)—evidence that these improvements are within reach. Stay disciplined, trust your attacking instincts, and the next milestone will follow soon. Remember: even masters blunder; what counts is resilience and consistent decision-making under time pressure. You’ve got this!
Happy studying, and see you at the board.
