One-sided losses are almost non-existent (just 2.55%), which in chess terms means Utsab doesn’t just lose—they fight till the last piece drops! Their psychological resilience is hinted at with a tilt factor of only 14, showing they remain cool under pressure and rarely let setbacks define their play.

Feedback for Utsab Chatterjee

Utsab, you've demonstrated solid understanding and fighting spirit in your recent games. Here are some constructive points to help you sharpen your skills further:

Strengths

  • Opening Preparation: Your choice of openings like the Sicilian Defense and Nimzowitsch Defense shows good repertoire knowledge. You handle typical plans well, especially in the Four Knights and Najdorf variations.
  • Active Piece Play: You tend to place your pieces aggressively. Moves like f4, Qh4, and active knight maneuvers (e.g. Nb3 or Nxc5) contribute well to your attacking chances.
  • Central Control & Tactics: You seize the initiative by controlling the center, and you spot tactical motifs such as pins (Bd5+) and combinations effectively.

Improvement Areas

  • Defensive Awareness: In some games, you faced strong positional pressure and missed opportunities to neutralize opponent threats. Focus more on king safety and avoiding weakening pawn moves that expose your position.
  • Endgame Technique: Some endgame positions show a struggle in converting or defending. Studying fundamental endgame principles can smooth out these transitions and increase your winning conversion rate.
  • Calculation Depth: Strengthen your calculation skills by practicing longer lines, especially in critical tactical and positional junctures. This will prevent missing key counterplay or winning continuations.
  • Time Management: Occasionally, time pressure affected your accuracy. Keeping calm and managing the clock well will help maintain consistent quality through the game.

Next Steps & Recommendations

  • Review your recent losses to pinpoint tactical oversights and positional misunderstandings; try replaying key critical positions and compare with engine/detailed analysis.
  • Study classical games with similar openings to see how masters balance attack and defense. Pay particular attention to pawn structure and piece coordination.
  • Practice calculation by solving tactical puzzles and playing slow games focusing on precision.
  • In your games, always ask: "Is my king safe? Am I controlling critical squares? What are my opponent’s threats?"

Keep up the hardworking attitude—growth in chess is a journey. With steady study and practice, you’ll continue to improve. Let me know if you'd like specific exercises or opening suggestions to deepen your skills!
