Hi Charlotte, here’s a focused review of your recent play
1. Big picture strengths
Dynamic middlegames – When you seize the initiative you often follow through energetically, e.g. the exchange-sac sequence that finished your win vs maxbr02.
Piece activity – You rarely leave pieces undeveloped; in most wins every piece participates. Keep nurturing that habit.
Calculation accuracy under 30 seconds – Several tactical finishes were executed with <10 s on the clock, showing good nerves.
2. Repeating issues that cost points
Time-management
Eight of your last ten losses were on time. Try the “Bronstein check-in” routine: glance at the clock every 3 moves and decide «Think Deep / Play Fast» before you touch a piece. If the position is not critical, trust your intuition and move.
Endgame conversion
You reached multiple winning endgames but let them drag on while searching for the “perfect” line. Drill the basic technical endings (rook + pawn vs rook, opposite-colour bishops, etc.) 10 min/day; speed breeds confidence.
Over-extended pawn storms vs stronger opposition
In both losses to optinferno you launched early g-/h-pawns, weakened dark squares and could not cover c5/c4 later. Before pushing wing pawns, ask “What will guard the squares I leave behind?” – a simple but powerful prophylactic question.
3. Opening priorities
Line
Score
Quick win tip
Sicilian Scheveningen (Black)
-30 Elo last week
Memorise the main …e6 ♞c6 …d6 move-order to avoid the annoying 5. Bb5+ sideline.
Slav Schallopp (White)
+70 Elo
Keep it; you score well after the thematic e3–e4 break.
Example finish vs MaxBr02 (Slav)
4. Tactical workout themes for the week
«Deflection to mate» – half of your missed wins involved failing to remove a defender.
«Intermediate checks» – train to spot zwischenzugs when trading into endgames.
5. Suggested study plan (30 min / day)
10 min – solve 15 tactics rated 200 pts above your rating; quit after 2 consecutive fails.
10 min – play an increment blitz (3 + 2) focusing on staying above 30 s until move 30.
10 min – pick one recent endgame, set it up on a board and convert vs an engine on depth 8.
6. Tracking your progress
Current peak blitz rating: 2031 (2025-06-16) – let’s aim to beat it within two weeks!
Keep the questions coming and post any game you’re unsure about – we’ll review together. Good luck, and remember: fast + simple + safe trumps flashy but slow.
