Overall Performance

Your strength-adjusted win rate is about 45%, which indicates a solid competitive level in your rapid games. The positive trend slope of approximately 75 over several time frames suggests your rating and skills are on an improving path. However, note that your rating has remained stable in the last 6 months, indicating a plateau where further focused improvements may help push your rating higher.

Recent Game Review

From your recent games, some patterns emerge:

  • Strong openings: You are comfortable with classical openings such as the Scotch and the Ruy Lopez with both colors. Remember to keep developing pieces actively and control the center. Four Knights Game and Bishops Opening appear in your games.
  • Time management: Several games were decided by time, both in your wins and losses. Improving time usage under pressure could reduce losses on time and increase chances to capitalize on winning positions.
  • Endgame and tactics: Your victories include successful tactical sequences such as forks and mating nets. Continue practicing tactics to sharpen your calculation skills.
  • Losses analysis: Some losses involved losing the initiative early or facing strong counterattacks. Evaluate moments where the opponent seized control and consider more solid or prophylactic moves in those critical moments.

Suggestions for Improvement

  • Opening preparation: Deepen your knowledge of favorite openings to avoid early inaccuracies. Try to memorize key ideas rather than just moves.
  • Time control tactics: Practice managing your clock better; for example, avoid spending excessive time on routine moves and allocate more time for complex positions.
  • Tactical training: Regularly solve puzzles to maintain sharp tactical awareness.
  • Positional understanding: Work on recognizing imbalances and where to apply pressure or defend effectively.

Next Steps

Keep tracking your progress by reviewing your games closely, especially losses, to identify recurring mistakes. Use this analysis to guide your study priorities. Since your trend is upward, consistent practice and study will help break through the current rating plateau.
