Hi dumdumtumtum – personalised coaching report
What you’re already doing well
- Healthy opening choices with 1.d4 and the London-System set-ups. In your win vs enewey you followed sound principles and took over the centre.
- Good eye for loose pawns – 7.Qxg7! shows you can calculate tactics and grab material safely when the position allows it.
- Solid conversion technique once pieces come off. Your knight manoeuvres (Nd6-c4-e3-d4, etc.) in the same game turned a material edge into a won ending.
Priority improvements for the next month
- Time management – the #1 rating killer
- Five of your last six defeats were on time. Play fewer simultaneous Daily games or set reminders so you never miss a move window.
- If you’re busy, make a safe developing move (a3, h3, Re1, …) and come back later for deep calculation.
- King safety & early castling
- In the loss to bluelagoon52 you were mated on move 9 after g7 fell and your king was still in the centre.
- Rule of thumb: decide which side to castle by move 8 and do it by move 10 unless you have a concrete, verified reason not to.
- Opening hygiene – a compact repertoire
- White: Keep the London, but memorise the typical replies to …c5 and …e6 so you don’t drift into unfamiliar structures.
- Black vs 1.e4: Instead of switching between …e5 and …c5, adopt one low-maintenance defence such as the Caro-Kann or the French Defence and study 10 model games.
- Daily tactical training
- Solve five puzzles before starting any game. Focus on double attacks and back-rank themes, the motifs that appear most in your PGNs.
