Hi clarkpogi6969, here’s some constructive feedback to help you level-up!
Quick Snapshot
- Your current comfort zone seems to be very short live games (5 | 0 and 10 | 0).
- Most wins come from early tactical blows (Nxf7, Qh5/Qh4 skewer ideas) or opponents abandoning.
- Most losses come from the exact same style being used against you when you play Black.
- 369 (2025-03-02) 983 (2023-02-19)
What you are already doing well
- Killer instinct in the opening: You spot basic tactics like forks on f7/f2 and loose queens quickly.
- Piece activity: You usually develop at least one bishop and a knight within the first five moves.
- Confidence: You’re not afraid to sacrifice a knight on f7 or push pawns to pry open files—great mindset for learning tactics.
Priority improvements
-
Stop over-moving the queen early.
Many losses start with …Qh4 or Qxe4+ on move 2/3. Early queen adventures violate opening principles and let your opponent gain time with tempo-gaining moves.
Action: For the next 20 games, make a personal rule that your queen does not move until move 6 unless you are delivering checkmate. -
Play symmetrical, “boring” openings as Black.
Try the Italian Game set-up: 1 … e5 2 … Nc6 3 … Bc5 or 3 … Nf6. It will:- Develop pieces toward the center.
- Castle quickly (king safety was missing in several PGNs).
- Reduce surprises in the first 10 moves so you can practice middlegame plans.
-
Improve calculation depth from “one-move trick” to “three-move sequence.”
Example from your loss vs ddcgm:
13…Bxf2+ 14.Kf1 Bxe1 15.Kxe1
You won a rook but let White’s pieces spring to life and soon your king was stuck in the center.
Action: Before every capture, ask “What are the next two forcing moves for both sides?”. -
End each session with 10 tactical puzzles.
Your pattern recognition is growing; structured puzzles will accelerate it. Focus on: forks, double attacks, and back-rank mates.
Opening repertoire suggestion (next 30 days)
With White
Keep 1.e4 but switch from 2.Bc4 to 2.Nf3 most of the time. Train the Italian Game (Giuoco Piano) starting position:
With Black vs 1.e4
Adopt the “Classical” reply: 1…e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 (basic Ruy Lopez). Your current …Qh4 ideas can then be held for surprise games.
With Black vs 1.d4/others
Play 1…d5 and aim for a simple Queen’s Gambit Declined structure. No early queen moves required, easy piece development.
Middlegame focus
- King safety first: Castle by move 8 in 90 % of your games.
- Bring every piece into the fight: If a rook has not moved by move 15, ask yourself “Why?”.
- Pawn structure awareness: Avoid pushing flank pawns (a, h) before your center is secure.
Sample game to review
Look at move 12 in your loss against ddcgm—both players missed tactics, making it a rich learning resource.
