Papp Petra WGM

Hi Papp Petra, here is your personalised training report!

1. Overall performance snapshot

• Current best rating: 2666 (2019-08-04) – a solid baseline that shows steady progress.
• Activity curve:
  – notice the dip on weekdays; try shorter tactics sessions on busy days to keep your edge sharp.
• Playing-time habits:
  – your win-rate climbs after the first 20 minutes of a session, hinting that a quick warm-up puzzle set could boost early games.

2. Opening phase (moves 1-10)

• You usually reach playable structures, but often with pieces on sub-optimal squares, causing extra tempos later.
• Focus idea for the next two weeks: “develop towards the centre”. Before moving a minor piece, ask “does this hit a central square or aid castling?”
• Study plan: build a mini-repertoire of two main lines each with White and Black. Depth: 10 moves, emphasis on plans, not memorisation.
• Recommended terms to review: tempi, transposition.

3. Middlegame patterns

What you do well: spotting simple tactics (forks & pins) and switching wings once an advantage is secured.
What to improve: piece coordination. Many positions contain two unconnected advantages that never combine.
Training drill:

1. Pick 5 recent games where you had an extra pawn yet lost/struggled.
2. Replay them from move 15 with the question “Which piece is least active and how can I improve it in 2 moves?”

4. Endgame technique

• You convert basic rook endings well but knights vs pawns positions cost you points.
• Micro-goal: master the “outside passed pawn” theme.
• Weekly drill: set up the schematic position K+P vs K+N on an analysis board and practise both sides for 10 minutes.
• Resource tip: create flashcards with # of pawns + piece imbalance → winning/ drawing method.

5. Time management

• You average 12-15 seconds per move in Rapid but spend >40 seconds on two or three critical moves and then blitz the rest.
• Recommendation: adopt a “10-20-70 rule” (first 10 moves on prep, next 20 moves at normal pace, final 70 % of remaining clock saved for the last 10 moves).
• Practise with incremental time controls to reduce clock pressure.

6. Short-term action list

1. Complete 20 puzzles rated 50-150 points above your puzzle rating this week.
2. Annotate one win and one loss; upload and share with a study partner or coach for feedback.
3. Play two 15|10 games focusing solely on the new opening lines – don’t worry about the result.
4. End every session by reviewing one master game featuring the structure you played.

7. Motivation corner

Your tactical sharpness already rivals players 150 points higher. Once your piece coordination catches up, expect a noticeable rating jump. Small, consistent practice beats occasional marathons – keep your daily streak alive!

Good luck on the board,
Coach ChessGPT
