Hi Deepan, here is your personalized feedback
Quick snapshot
• Current peak blitz rating: 2911 (2025-02-01)
• Typical play-time patterns:
What you’re already doing well
- Dynamic openings. You regularly reach rich positions out of the English, Pirc and Caro-Kann where you seize the initiative early. Your recent win against huzhening shows confident central breaks with
e4–e5andf4–f5. - Tactical alertness. Tactics such as 30…
Qf4!in the Caro-Kann win display good calculation depth and an eye for counter-play. - Endgame conversion. When ahead, you usually stay accurate (see the rook & pawn ending versus Νik kontos where the passed
h-pawn was escorted home).
Recurrent issues to address
- Over-extension without consolidation.
In the loss to FarewellToKings2112 you expanded withb4andc5before finishing development, allowing …b5to clamp down. Guard your pawn breaks with a quick “what can my opponent hit next move?” check. - Drift in equal middlegames.
Several defeats (e.g. versus Anton Zlatkov) started from balanced positions where slow manoeuvres (Ra7-a4-a5, etc.) ceded the initiative. Inject a dose of prophylaxis Prophylaxis: ask “what is their next active plan?” every three moves. - Time management.
Your clock often falls under 45 s around move 25 while the opponent still has ~1 min. This magnifies small inaccuracies. Aim to keep >60 s until move 30 by pre-moving obvious recaptures and deciding on candidate moves during the opponent’s time. - Defensive technique vs. opposite-wing attacks.
In the English loss you missed the resource …Rh4+. Make it a habit to look for your opponent’s forcing moves (checks, captures, threats) each turn. Quick drill: annotate five of your recent losses highlighting every missed forcing reply.

| 5-7 | Endgame sparring vs. engine from positions with R+4 v R+4, both sides passed pawns. | Reinforce strong conversion technique under time pressure. |
| 8-9 | Openings clean-up: prepare a solid anti-Rossolimo line; test in 10 practice games. | Plug the gap exposed by 1.e4 c5 Bb5 Qb6 losses. |
| 10-14 | Daily 25-min “no-premoves” blitz sessions; annotate instantly after play. | Improve clock handling while retaining objectivity. |
