Strengths
- Opening Preparation: You consistently play solid opening systems such as the Indian Game and London System setups, demonstrating good understanding of standard principles and piece development.
- Calculated Attacks: In your wins, you successfully create tactical opportunities that lead to material gain or winning endgames. For example, your timely exchanges and piece activity often create decisive threats.

Areas to Improve
- Handling Pressure Positions: Some losses show difficulties when facing aggressive counterplay or unusual attacking setups by opponents. Work on recognizing potential attacking threats earlier to create effective defensive resources.
- Time Management: While you manage your clock well in some matches, there are moments where spending a little more time on complex positions could prevent critical mistakes, especially in the midgame tactical skirmishes.
- Pawn Structure Awareness: At times, pawn breaks or exchanges lead to weaknesses that opponents exploit effectively. Focus on understanding when to open the position and when to maintain tension to favor your piece activity.
