Hi Debasish!

Great job keeping an active schedule and already scoring several nice attacking wins. Below is some targeted feedback drawn from your most-recent games.

What you are doing well

• Fighting spirit: You never shy away from complications and have converted multiple sharp positions into checkmates or time wins.
• Quick development with 1.e4 / Italian structures: In your latest win you castled early, placed rooks on central files and used the open e-file to break through (see moves 15-18 of the PGN below).
• Tactical vision: You already spot forks, skewers and mating nets such as 24.Qh7# in your most-recent win. Keep sharpening this strength with daily puzzles.

Main areas to improve

1. King safety when playing Black
   • Several losses stem from castling into attacks or keeping your king in the centre (e.g. 19.Qg7#  in your most-recent loss).
   • Guideline: castle before launching pawn storms. If your opponent’s queen is already on the kingside, ask “What is the threat?” before pushing a flank pawn.
2. Over-reliance on early queen moves
   • You sometimes answer 1.e4 with 2…Qf6 or 2…Qb6. These moves invite quick tempo-gaining attacks (Nb5, Nc3, d4, etc.).
   • Recommendation: switch to solid setups such as the Scandinavian (2…Qxd5 followed by …c6 & …Bf5) or the Petrov. This keeps your queen safe and accelerates development.
3. Finish development before attacking
   • In both wins and losses you like pushing the g-pawn (g4/g5). It works when the centre is closed, but backfires when your king or pieces are undeveloped.
   • Rule of thumb: all minor pieces developed + king castled = “green light” for pawn storms.
4. Time management (1-minute games)
   • Bullet rewards intuition, but consistent blunders often cost you material or the clock.
   • Drill 3-minute games or puzzles with a 10-second timer to balance speed and accuracy.

Opening snapshot

• With White you score best in the Italian Game (ECO C50). Continue studying plans like c3 d4 breaks and rerouting the knight to g3.
• With Black, try learning a compact defence against both 1.e4 and 1.d4 to reduce preparation time.

Action plan for the next two weeks

• Solve 20 tactics a day focusing on forks, pins and mating nets.
• Play five 3 | 2 games daily and annotate one game (win or loss) right after playing.
• Watch one short lesson on the Italian Game middlegame plans and practise them.
• Memorise the first 10 moves of your preferred Black response to 1.e4 (e.g. Scandinavian).

Your current milestones

• Peak bullet rating: 925 (2025-06-07).
• Goal for July: cross the 1000-bullet mark while keeping an 80 % accuracy score.
• Celebrate small wins and review every blunder with the computer.

Stay disciplined, have fun, and let me know whenever you need the next round of feedback. Good luck!
