Hi Deadshot X Gaming! đź‘‹

1. What you’re already doing well

  • Variety of openings. 1.b3 and the Modern with …g6 show you’re not afraid to leave the beaten path and take opponents out of book early.
  • Tactical alertness when you’re attacking. In several wins you exploited loose pieces (e.g. …Nxe5 ↠ …Nxd4, or Bxf8 followed by c5) and recognized when the opponent’s king was stuck in the centre.
  • Playing regularly. Consistent game volume is the fastest way to gather experience. Keep that habit!

2. Repeating trouble-spots

  • Early piece hunting. Grabbing the f8/h6 rook or poisoned pawns (e.g. 7…Qxa1, 4…Bh6) often costs you time and leaves your king in the centre. In the loss to iramgh your queen chase led to …Qxh2#.
  • King safety. Several defeats arrived before move 15 because you delayed castling or opened dark-squared diagonals near your king. Basic rule: if you’ve moved your f-, g-, or h-pawn, castle kingside quickly or consider castling long.
  • Tactical blunders under 5 minutes. Mate patterns like Scholar’s Mate (Qxf7#, Qxh7#) appeared against you. This suggests quick board scans are missing simple threats.
  • Premature resignations/abandonments. At least two recent losses were “game abandoned”. Even in bad positions, fighting on teaches end-game defence and clock management.

3. Focus areas for the next two weeks

  1. Opening discipline challenge.
    • As White: play 1.b3 but follow classical development: Bb2, e3, d4, Nf3, Be2, O-O. Skip the early Bxf8 grab until your pieces are out.
    • As Black vs 1.e4: keep the Modern structure (…g6 …Bg7 …d6 …Nf6 …O-O) and postpone …Bh6 until your king is safe.
  2. Tactics sprint. 30 daily puzzles focusing on mate-in-2 and “find the hanging piece”. Track streaks; you’ll notice blunder rate drop in blitz games.
  3. Two-move blunder check. Before every move, ask: “What are the opponent’s checks, captures, and threats?” It costs three seconds and prevents most early knock-outs.
  4. Post-game habit. Win or lose, replay the critical moment with the analysis board and guess the engine’s top move before revealing it. One minute of reflection > one extra blitz game.

4. Example: improve this typical position

From your last win you reached the diagram below after 10…Ra5. Many players would keep attacking on the queenside, but you found the stronger central break 13.c4! opening lines for your pieces.

5. Motivation corner

Your current personal best is . Aim to beat it by the end of the month. Stick to the plan above, and celebrate each small improvement—fewer blunders, quicker castles, safer kings.

Good luck, and enjoy the grind! 🏆
