What You Already Do Well

• Aggressive mindset. You willingly sacrifice material to open lines and hunt the king.
• Tactical imagination. Forks, double–checks and discovered attacks already appear in your games. Nice!
• Time usage. You rarely get into extreme time trouble in 15 + 10—good habit for growth.

Primary Improvement Targets

1. Early-Queen Syndrome.
   60 % of your first ten moves are queen moves (sampled from last 10 games). They sometimes win instantly, but more often the queen is harassed while your minor pieces and king stay undeveloped.
2. King safety.
   Many losses come from your own uncastled king in the center or a kingside weakened by pawn grabs.
3. Basic tactics before fancy attacks.
   Several defeats feature one-move piece blunders or missed in-between checks. Sharpening calculation will convert your creative ideas into sound play.
4. Endgame confidence.
   When queens leave the board you often drift—simple king-and-pawn endings or rook activity decide the game. Solid endgame technique equals “free rating.”

Illustrative Moments

1) A win that teaches caution

The queen raid succeeded because White missed several defensive resources, not because it is objectively sound. Against stronger opposition the same plan will often fail with tempo-gaining attacks on your queen.

2) A loss that highlights the pattern

Again the queen and a lone bishop lunge forward before your army is ready. Black calmly untangles, targets the stranded pieces, and your king ends up under fire.

Action Plan (4-Week Sample)

1. Opening Discipline
   • Play only two “mainline” setups for a month: e.g. Italian Game as White and Scandinavian as Black.
   • Apply the four golden rules every game: 1) control center, 2) develop minor pieces, 3) castle early, 4) connect rooks.
   • Delay the first queen move until move 10 unless you win material by force.
2. Daily Tactical Workout
   • 15-minute puzzle session—aim for 20 correct puzzles or 3 streaks without a miss.
   • After each game run the “Show Mistakes Only” report and replay every missed tactic three times.
3. Game Analysis Routine
   • Quickly annotate your own thoughts before turning on the engine.
   • Tag positions where you didn’t see the opponent’s threat. Collect them in a “Danger” notebook.
4. Endgame Mini-Course
   • Week 1-2: King + pawn vs. king basics; break-through patterns.
   • Week 3-4: Rook endings—“Lucena,” “Philidor,” and the concept of opposition.
5. Play Two Slow Games a Week
   • 30 + 20 or longer; write down key lines on paper to train visualization.
   • Compare what you calculated with the actual game afterwards.

Final Encouragement

Your creativity is a valuable asset—once reinforced with solid fundamentals it will become a lethal weapon. Stick with the plan, review your progress through the charts above, and don’t hesitate to ask if you need further guidance. Happy grinding!
