Most frequently faced opponent (35 games): andrea171181 (record 22–11–2)
You show a strong appetite for dynamic, tactical play and the ability to turn initiative into concrete results. Your recent win demonstrates you can coordinate pieces toward a mating attack, while the losses and draws highlight areas to tighten defense, improve endgame technique, and refine decision‑making in sharp positions.
What you do well
You favor aggressive openings (like the Amar Gambit and Amazon Attack) that create practical chances from the start.
You calculate forcing sequences well and can execute mating nets when the opponent overextends or misplaces their king.
You stay resilient in tactical tangles and keep fighting for chances even when the position becomes complex.
Areas to improve
Defense against sharp attacks: in some recent games, aggressive setups from the opponent exploited back-rank weaknesses or heavy piece activity. Practice prophylaxis and safer king placement when the opponent starts a forcing sequence.
Endgame transition: after seizing the initiative, aim for clearer conversion paths and simpler trades that lead to concrete endgames. Work on rook-and-pawn endings and basic king-pawn endings to avoid shaky conversions.
Time management in rapid: monitor time more evenly across the game to avoid getting stuck in the middlegame and leaving little time for the endgame.
Opening depth and preparedness: while your aggressiveness is a strength, deepen familiarity with typical middlegame plans and common defenses in your two main openings so you’re not surprised by solid replies.
