Strengths

- Resourcefulness: Even when facing stronger opponents, you manage to keep the game balanced and exploit tactical opportunities.
Areas for Improvement
- Handling Complex Middlegames: Some losses came from difficulties in handling pressure and calculating accurately when the position became complicated. Review those games to identify moments where more precise calculation or strategic maneuvering was needed.

- Time Management: While you generally manage your clock well, avoid spending too much time in the opening while your opponent builds pressure. This will give you more time for complex middlegame decisions.
Suggestions to Advance
