Hi Jiju012 – personalised post-session feedback

What you already do well

• Active piece play. Your wins often start with quick development and open lines that invite tactics.
• Tactical alertness. Moves such as 29.Ne6+!! in your win over nyoncato show you can spot winning shots under pressure.
• Fighting spirit. You keep searching for counter-play instead of giving up when the position gets messy—an excellent competitive habit.

Biggest improvement opportunities

1. King safety & basic structure
   In several losses (e.g. vs manaoy) you delayed castling, advanced flank pawns and became the target. Adopt the simple checklist: develop → castle → connect rooks before launching pawns.
2. Blunder-check routine
   Many defeats were single-move collapses. Before making any move, pause three seconds and ask “What is my opponent threatening?”. This one habit will save more points than any opening book.
3. Focused opening menu
   • As White: play the Italian with 4.c3 (easy plans, solid structure).
   • As Black: keep your e5 lines or add the Scandinavian Defense for variety.
   Fewer openings = deeper understanding = fewer early blunders.
4. Endgame fundamentals
   The marathon vs d-bonnet slipped from winning to lost. Spend 15 min/day on king-and-pawn and basic rook endings (start with the idea of opposition).

Target exercises for the coming week

• Solve 15 puzzles/day rated 400-800; move on if you spend more than 3 minutes on one position.
• Play two 15|10 games and self-annotate them before turning on the engine.
• Study this model miniature and try to beat the computer with it:

Quick pre-move checklist

1. Are all my pieces protected?
2. What did my opponent’s last move threaten?
3. Can I improve my worst-placed piece?
4. Only then look for tactics.
