Areas for Improvement

Opening Variety and Adaptability: While you have good openings, occasionally your opponents seem to counter well. Consider diversifying your opening repertoire and preparing response plans to less common moves. For example, exploring other sidelines in the Indian Game could widen your options.
Midgame Defense: Be wary of opponent counterplay in complex positions, especially against active piece play and pawn breaks. Reviewing key motifs and tactical patterns in your recurring openings can strengthen your positional understanding.
