Coaching Feedback for Miklós Galyas
Hi Miklós, I've reviewed your recent games and would like to share some constructive feedback to help you improve further.
Strengths
- Strong Opening Preparation: Your handling of the Queen's Gambit and English Opening lines shows good theoretical knowledge and understanding of typical plans.
- Active Piece Play: You consistently seek active piece placement and dynamic possibilities, which helps you maintain pressure on your opponents.
- Good Endgame Technique: In several games, you demonstrated good technique in converting advantages or defending difficult positions calmly.
Areas for Improvement

- Time Management: At times you spent significantly less time on some complex positions late in the opening or early middlegame (for example moves 12-16 in a recent game). Improving your time allocation will enable deeper and more accurate calculations.
- Pawn Structure and Planning: Some pawn breaks or captures led to weaknesses or gave your opponents opportunities to seize the initiative. Focus on identifying when pawn structure changes yield long-term advantages versus when they create weaknesses.
- King Safety: In certain games, your king was exposed to attacks that forced you to defend passively. Prioritize timely castling and ensure you avoid unnecessary pawn moves that weaken your king’s shelter.

- Analyze your own games focusing on key turning points with a chess engine and try to identify better alternatives.
