Hi Jojolafrite59! 👋

You have already built a very entertaining style: quick development, open positions and a healthy appetite for tactics. Your recent victories prove that when the position explodes you can calculate one-to-three–move combinations and convert them into checkmates.

(Green bars = wins, red = losses. Use them to identify the hours or days when you feel most focused.)

What you are doing well ✅

  • Opening confidence. 1.e4 … e5 positions feel natural to you, and you’re not afraid to enter sharp gambits such as the Center Game or Scotch Gambit.
  • Tactical alertness. Double-attacks and basic motifs like forks, pins and back-rank mates appear frequently in your wins. A nice example is 13…Qxe1# in your last game:

  • Time management. You usually keep a minute-plus advantage on the clock even in messy positions—this is a hidden rating booster!

Main improvement targets 🔍

  1. King safety—both sides. Your losses often arise from ignoring the opponent’s attacking resources (e.g. 13.Qxh7# and 64.Qg7#). Create the habit of asking “What is my opponent threatening?” before every move.
  2. Piece efficiency in the opening. In several games you move the same queen or knight three-plus times during the first 10 moves, which delays development and yields counter-play. Aim for the classic goal: get all pieces out and castle before launching the queen.
  3. End-game basics. Most games finish quickly, but when they do reach simplified positions (see your loss vs. arlovich) you need better technique with rooks & pawns. Even 10 minutes is enough to practise: play out winning pawn-endings vs. the computer until you can convert them with under 30 seconds left.

4-week action plan 🗓️

  • Week 1 – Safety Drill. Before every move, verbalise “Opponent threats?” If you miss a tactic, add it to a personal file with the theme (fork, pin, mate-net, etc.).
  • Week 2 – Solid repertoire revamp. Pick one quiet line with 1.e4 e5 as White (e.g. Giuoco Piano with 4.c3) and a reply to 1.e4 as Black (e.g. 1…e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 Nf6). Play at least 20 games sticking strictly to those moves; the goal is to reduce early queen adventures and feel comfortable castling early.
  • Week 3 – Daily puzzles. 15 tactical puzzles per day, but spend at least 30 seconds on why each move works. Focus on intermediate moves and zwischenzugs.
  • Week 4 – End-game mini-course. • King & pawn vs. king • Opposition & key squares • Lucena & Philidor with rooks Reinforce by starting from these positions against the engine at depth-3.

Motivation corner 📈

Your personal best so far: 647 (2025-06-09). Let’s set a realistic goal of +100 points in the next two months by following the plan above.

Good luck, have fun, and remember: spot the threat before you strike! When you feel ready, challenge a recent rival like senhorranufi for a friendly rematch to measure your progress.
