Hi Salma, here is your personalised training report
1. Quick snapshot
• Current form: a dynamic tactical style with several sharp victories, but also a few rushed defeats.
• Peak so far: 1866 (2024-12-08) – aim to break this soon!
• Activity patterns: see when you score best on
2. Strengths to keep nurturing
- Tactical alertness. Your last win against grobisnotdead finished with a crisp mating attack after 51…Qh2#.
- Fearless initiative. Sacrifices such as 23.Rxf7!! versus jkalambulwa show confidence in calculation.
- Quick piece activity. In many games you develop fast and seize open lines before your opponent is ready.
3. Biggest growth areas
-
Time management. Four of your last six losses were on the clock.
- Adopt a short “scan-the-board” routine every move to avoid needless think-spikes.
- Practise 3 + 2 games; the increment forces you to play and manage time.
-
Opening soundness. Fun lines such as the Grob (1.g4) work as surprise weapons, but against stronger opposition you will fight uphill from move 1.
- Add one solid “main weapon” with White (e.g. the Queen’s Gambit or the Italian) and one with Black (Caro-Kann or Slav) so you can choose between sound and surprise.
- Pawn structure awareness. In the defeat to tortugito your kingside pawns (…f5, …g6, …h6) became fixed targets. Before pushing a pawn ask: “Who benefits if this file opens?”
- Endgame basics. Several games reached rook endings where technique decided the result. A weekly dose of 10 practical rook-and-pawn drills will pay huge dividends.
4. Two instructive moments
a) Most recent win – converting the attack
• Great job switching the rook from c8 to a8–a7–h7 to create mate threats.
• On move 28, instead of 28.Qg6+, 28.Rc1! would have increased pressure while keeping checks in hand. Look for quiet moves that add resources to the attack.
b) Most recent loss – letting the clock beat you
You were a pawn up with a strong passed e-pawn but fell to 30 seconds for nine critical moves. Remember: 30 seconds = 10 safe moves if you play by principle (activate king, push passer, avoid checks).
5. Action plan for the next 2 weeks
- Play 20 blitz games using your “main weapon” openings only; afterwards, compare your move order with a database for the first 10 moves.
- Solve 15 intermediate puzzles daily with a 3-minute limit to mimic game pressure.
- Finish the classic book “Silman’s Complete Endgame Course” chapters up to basic rook endings, or any equivalent resource.
- After every session, pick one critical position and ask “What pawn break decided the structure?” – this trains long-term planning.
6. Useful vocabulary to review
tempo, outpost, zugzwang, intermezzo
7. Final encouragement
Your games are never boring – that’s a gift! By pairing your natural tactical eye with steadier openings, a calmer clock, and solid endgame technique, 1900+ blitz is within reach. Keep the curiosity alive and enjoy the climb!
