Feedback for Hero_of_Chess_2
Quick snapshot
- Current level: ~1 100 (Rapid) with a personal best of 1124 (2025-06-21).
- Main openings: 1.d4 with the Accelerated London (Bf4 lines) and 1.e4 → Italian/4…h6 structures as Black.
- Typical game pace: 10 min “live” games – enough time to think, yet still fast-moving.
Your strengths
- Consistent repertoire. Playing the same openings (d4 Bf4 / e4 Nc6 as Black) gives you familiarity and saves clock time.
- Initiative-oriented. You like active moves (e.g. 7.h5, 29.Rf7, 34.Qg5+). This keeps opponents under pressure.
- Endgame persistence. Several wins were converted after move 40 (see the a-pawn race in the win vs alimsiregar). You do not give up easily.
Recurrent problems
- King safety in the opening. In multiple defeats you allowed …h5–h4 or …Qg5/Qh4 to hit g- and h-squares before you castled or developed. Example:
- vs ChessToTheFuture: 12…Qxf4! 17…Qh2+-, 18…Qxg2#.
- vs Sillowe: you traded on h7 and left your own king in the centre while Black crashed through.
- Loose piece / pawn pushes. Early
a3,h3, or rook lifts (Rh1–h4 etc.) often left undefended squares behind you. - Not punishing opponent blunders immediately. Even in wins you sometimes missed quicker kills (e.g. 21.Nxc6 in your win vs JhonLimone could have been followed by 22.Qa4+ winning faster).
- Tactics under time pressure. Several zero-material-loss positions turned into sudden mates or queen drops after move 15. Puzzle drills will help.
Illustrative mini-lesson
Below is the 18-move loss to ChessToTheFuture. Notice how every Black move created a direct threat while White made “quiet” regrouping moves.
Key takeaway: When your opponent throws pawns at your king (…h5-h4) and aims the queen toward g3/h2, do not ignore it—either counter in the centre immediately or prevent the pawn break.
Action plan for the next 4 weeks
| Focus | What to do | How long / session |
|---|---|---|
| Tactics & calculation | Daily puzzle set (theme: mating nets, double attacks). Aim for 25 correct without hints. | 15 min |
| Opening hygiene |
|
2 games / day |
| Endgames | Study basic king-pawn and rook-pawn endings (Lucena, Philidor). Use Opposition drills. | 2× week, 20 min |
| Review sessions | With an engine ON ONLY AFTER you annotated the game yourself. Ask “Where was the last equal move?” | Every played game (≈10 min) |
Micro-tips you can apply immediately
- When you push a flank pawn (a/h) before castling, pause and ask “What if my opponent opens the centre next move?”
- If your opponent’s queen appears on your third rank, spend at least one ply looking for mate threats.
- In the London, after 1.d4 Bf4 …d5 …Nc6, grab the centre with e3/e4 or c4 early to avoid getting cramped.
- Convert material: when up a rook, trade queens first. In your win vs jhonlimone you allowed counterplay because the queens stayed on.
Motivation corner
Your attacking flair is already there. By adding basic safety checks and sharper tactical vision you can break 1 300 quickly. Keep the board busy, keep the king safe, and happy hunting!
