What You’re Doing Well
- Initiative-oriented play. In many games you seize space quickly and are willing to sacrifice material for activity (see 17.g4! in your win vs. h1959breda).
- Fast decision making. You often keep a healthy time edge, converting several games on the clock.
- Eye for basic tactical ideas. Your miniature with 6.Bxf7# shows you already know a few decisive patterns.
Highest-Value Improvements
1. Opening Discipline
• You frequently launch the queen with Qh5/Qd1-h5 or Qd1-g4 by move 4.
Against accurate defence this backfires, as in the loss to shnnndallas12 where 7…gxh5 punished the early assault.
• Recommendation: for the next 30 games, follow the simple checklist:
- Develop two minor pieces.
- Castle.
- Connect rooks.
2. Tactical Clean-Up
Three of your recent defeats came from overlooking a one-move tactic (26.Qg7# vs. JoshNicMac, 44…Rh2 in the AKSA1008 game, 14.Nxd6+ in the Nimzowitsch Defence game). Build the habit of asking, “What is my opponent threatening?” before every move. Spend 10 minutes/day on puzzle rush or rated puzzles; stop when you get three wrong in a row so you always finish with focus.
3. King Safety
• As Black you often castle into an attack after advancing the g-pawn (games vs. JoshNicMac & imsama2).
In the Scandinavian, consider the solid line 3…Qxd5 4.Nc3 Qa5 followed by …Nf6 and …c6, keeping pawns in front of your king.
• As White, delaying castling in gambit lines cost you in the loss to lunchboxattack.
Try setting a “castle by move 10” rule until it feels natural.
4. Endgame Technique
When you reach a won ending you sometimes allow counter-play (see 31…Be3+ vs. lunchboxattack). Basic endgame drills (king & pawn vs. king; rook vs. pawn) will help you convert smoothly.
5. Time Management
Many results are decided on the clock. Winning on time is good, but it can hide mistakes. Try one 10|0 game per day: the extra time forces you to calculate and will transfer back to 3-minute play.

Your Action Plan for the Next Two Weeks
- Play 20 rapid games (10|0 or 15|10) focusing on the opening checklist.
- Solve 150 tactical puzzles (≈10/day) and review any you miss.
- Watch a short series on rook endings and practice them vs. computer.
- After each blitz session, pick one loss, load it into an analyser and write down one thing you would change.
Keep the momentum going, and you’ll break 800+ very soon. Enjoy the journey and good luck with your next games!
