Hi hupi_hupi!
Great job staying active and already reaching . Below is some personalised feedback drawn from your recent games.
Your current trajectory
Notice the patterns in your performance across the day –
. Use the strong hours for serious rated play and the weaker slots for quiet study or puzzle solving.What you’re already doing well
- Love for the initiative. You often launch pawn storms (e.g. h- and g-pawns) to surprise opponents and scored a nice mating attack against aliasghar20209.
- Active rook play. In several wins you doubled or lifted rooks on open files (26.Rd8+ followed by 28.Bxe4# is textbook conversion).
- Fighting spirit. Even in inferior positions you keep hunting for counter-play instead of giving up early.
Key improvement themes
- King safety before pawn storms
Early flank pushes can leave holes. In your loss to elpedrojuan (5.h4?! 6.g4?!) Black calmly castled and later invaded with …Qxg4. Set a simple rule: No flank pawn moves until three minor pieces are developed and your king is safe. - Consistent blunder checks
The tactic 7…Qxe4+ in your game vs kailasilage shows how one missed idea can decide the result. After calculating a move, pause and ask: “What can my opponent capture next move?” – a five-second habit that saves lots of points. - Principled opening structure
Above you have healthy central control and safe king options.
Here the queen chase left your own king stuck in the centre. Stick to classical moves (Nc3, Bc4, short castle) until you’re fully comfortable with the resulting tactics.
- Endgame basics
The marathon vs maverick04021983 shows uncertainty once queens disappear. Review fundamental king-and-pawn and basic rook endgames to convert advantages smoothly.
One-week action plan
- Solve 25 tactical puzzles daily at 70 %+ accuracy.
- Play two slow (15|10) games focusing purely on avoiding a blunder. Analyse them immediately afterwards.
- Watch a short lesson on a solid system (Italian Game or London) to build a repeatable opening repertoire.
- Recreate critical positions from your own games on a board and ask, “How could this evaluation flip?”
Motivational snapshot
Keep your curiosity alive, keep practising, and the rating gains will follow. Looking forward to celebrating your next milestone!
