Overall, your recent games demonstrate solid understanding and good fundamentals, especially with your opening choice and middlegame planning. Here are some constructive points to help you continue improving:

Strengths

• Opening Preparation: You have a strong grasp of the Trompowsky Attack (ECO A45), consistently developing your pieces actively and putting pressure early on your opponent’s position.
• Positional Play: You manage to improve your piece placement and create threats, such as well-timed queenside and center pawn pushes.
• Endgame Technique: In your wins, you showed good technique in converting advantages, maintaining control in simplified positions, and applying pressure on your opponent.

Areas for Improvement

• Handling Pressure in Complex Positions: In some losses, like the game versus Gaganjaani, you faced challenges under sustained pressure, especially surrounding pawn tension and piece coordination in the center. Focus on reinforcing your central control and anticipating counterplay better.
• Piece Activity in Defense: In a few critical moments, your pieces could be more actively placed to defend or challenge threats. For example, improving coordination between your knights and bishops in the middlegame can help you resist opponent attacks.
• Time Management: Your time usage is generally good, but watch the moments when you start using considerably less time after complex moves; a more balanced time approach can lead to stronger, more consistent decision-making.

Practical Recommendations

• Study typical pawn structures and breakthroughs in the Trompowsky and related d4 openings to deepen your strategic understanding and avoid getting passive.
• Work on calculation training especially in positions with dynamic tension (pawn breaks and piece sacrifices) to be comfortable defending and counter-attacking.
• Review your losses with an engine or coach focusing on the moments where you felt less confident. Focus on improving your pattern recognition for tactics and strategic plans.

Keep up the great work! Your style is proactive and you are already demonstrating a strong competitive level. With targeted improvements in defense and strategic awareness, you can take your game to the next level.

Here is a sample from one of your recent wins illustrating classic Trompowsky play and good endgame technique.
