Hi DrAhmedHazeem!

Great job playing regularly and notching up some nice tactical wins. Below is personalised feedback drawn from your recent games.

What’s already working

• Fighting spirit: You keep games sharp and often win complicated positions, as in your victory over fyxyon.
• Eye for tactics: Forks like …Qxc3+ and exchange sacrifices such as …Rxa4 show creativity.
• Confidence: You are willing to grab loose pieces and trust your calculation—an excellent habit at any rating.

Your current peaks

Blitz peak – 717 (2024-10-26)   Rapid peak – 677 (2024-10-11)

Three areas to focus on

1. Time management

Five of your last six losses were on time.

• Switch to a slightly slower control (e.g. 5 + 5 or 10 min rapid) while you build your thinking routine.
• Plan during your opponent’s turn—enter it already knowing your candidate moves.
• When winning, simplify quickly instead of hunting for the fanciest line.

2. Opening discipline

Early side-pawn storms (a6–a4, b6, g6) often leave king and pieces undeveloped. The loss to sretman22 is a typical example.

1. Follow basic principles every game: occupy the centre, develop knights and bishops, castle, connect rooks.
2. As White play one simple system for 20 games:
   • Italian Game: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4
   • or London System: 1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Bf4
3. As Black pick one reply and stick to it:
   • vs 1.e4: 1…e5 developing normally.
   • vs 1.d4: 1…d5 → Queen’s Gambit Declined setup.

3. King safety & everyday tactics

Several defeats came from an exposed king (…Ke5, …Kf5). In the checkmate by qioqa your king was safe until move 11, then one careless capture allowed a back-rank tactic.

• Before every move ask, “What is my opponent threatening?”
• Solve 15 tactic puzzles daily—focus on forks, pins, skewers, and back-rank mates.
• Study the miniature below until you can spot the mate in your head:

Next-step checklist

• Play 20 games following the opening plans above.
• Keep a blunder sheet: after each game note one mistake and its fix.
• Solve puzzles for 10 minutes before playing.
• Analyse every loss for at least 5 minutes—even a quick review doubles the learning value.

Stay patient, enjoy the process, and remember that steady, small improvements add up quickly. See you on the board!
