Feedback for artistocataki

Great work on your recent games! I noticed several strengths and some areas where you can focus to improve even more:

Strengths:

  • Opening Preparation: Your choice of solid openings such as the Pirc, Caro-Kann, and Sicilian Najdorf show a good understanding of opening theory and plans. Maintaining consistent development and control is evident.
  • Effective Tactical Awareness: Your games feature strong tactical finishes, like the checkmate victories on moves 25 and 50 in your most recent wins. This shows good vision for forcing combinations and taking advantage of opponent's weaknesses.
  • Patience in Complex Positions: You demonstrate resilience by maintaining pressure and gradually improving your position, especially in longer games where you methodically eroded your opponent’s defenses.

Areas to Improve:

  • Endgame Technique: A few losses were closer than expected, and better endgame technique could help convert close positions into wins or defend draws. Focus on fundamental endgame principles and practice common winning patterns.
  • Defensive Resourcefulness: In some games, opponents capitalized quickly on inaccuracies (for example, the game lost to LSChess). Work on identifying and neutralizing threats proactively, and avoiding passive moves under pressure.
  • Time Management: Although you manage time well, occasionally pushing for deeper calculation early in the game might help you avoid minor errors later on that your opponents are capitalizing on.

Overall, your progress is impressive, and with some focused study on endgame and defensive skills, you’ll become even stronger. Keep reviewing your games critically and consider working on calculation and endgame techniques.

Keep up the great work and happy training!
