Personalised Feedback for ARomera

Quick Snapshot

• Preferred openings: Open Sicilians (Pelikan/Sveshnikov), Ruy Lopez Exchange, occasional surprise (Grob).
• Style: Dynamic, tactically alert, not afraid of pawn storms or material imbalances.
• Recent form: Strong run in blitz (4-1 in the sample), but one critical daily game lost on time.

What You Do Well

1. Tactical awareness. Your win versus robert_mauricio shows an excellent feel for initiative (the c6–c7–c8=Q breakthrough).
2. Opening fundamentals. Pieces usually reach active squares quickly, especially in the Open Sicilian where you follow main-line development principles.
3. Psychology & flexibility. Switching to sidelines (e.g. Grob vs. gurkiraatt) keeps lower-rated opponents off balance.

Priority Improvements

1. Time Management

The only loss in the daily championship was a forfeit. Set a daily reminder or use the vacation feature. In blitz, avoid aimless repetitions (moves 31-34 vs. Robert_Mauricio) that cost 20+ seconds.

2. Opening Depth vs. Stronger Players

Games against 2100+ opposition (loss to BlueRodeo) reveal that after the first 10-12 moves you can drift:

• In the B32 Sicilian, 19.e5? allowed …Qxe5 and Black seized the centre.
• Recommendation: build a study file for each main line you play and add critical ideas after every game. Even 10 minutes of review per game compounds quickly.

3. King Safety & Coordination

Several losses stem from an exposed king (Pirc vs. Kaszpi) or pieces stepping on each other (double knights on d5/b5 vs. Kaszpi #2). Work on:

• Recognising when to castle vs. keep the king central.
• Keeping major pieces connected; avoid blocking your own rooks behind pawn chains.

4. Transition to Endgames

You often decide games in the middlegame; when that fails, endings look shaky.

• Practical drill: play rook + four pawns vs. rook + four pawns starting positions against the computer until converting becomes second nature.
• Study the “side-pawn & rook” theme shown in your loss to amano1.

Training Plan (Next 4 Weeks)

1. Tactics: 20 puzzles/day; focus on motifs like forks and outposts outpost.
2. Openings: Pick one line per colour and annotate 5 model games. Include your own ideas with {{!!}} comments in a PGN.
3. Endgames: Finish the first 30 positions of Silman’s rook endings (or equivalent set).
4. Game Review: Self-annotate every loss within 24 hours, then compare to engine. Focus on first move that worsens the evaluation by ≥1.0.

Motivational Note

You are already playing at a solid level and showing creativity. Tightening up just a few recurring issues (time, depth, king safety) can easily push you past your current record of 2252 (2021-12-24). Keep the curiosity alive and good luck in your next events!
