Featured win — quick review
Great conversion vs Coach-Nadia — you opened the kingside, created lasting weaknesses around Black’s king, and finished with a clean mating net. This game is a good example of purposeful attacking play that turns into a winning endgame.
What you did well
These strengths show up repeatedly in your recent wins:
- Active, purposeful pawn breaks on the kingside to open lines (you used f4–f5 very effectively).
- Good piece coordination — bishops and queen combined to force weaknesses, then rooks and king joined the finishing phase.
- Clean conversion — when you achieved an advantage you simplified into a clearly winning technical position instead of letting complications persist.
- Strong opening choice and familiarity — you steer games into structures you understand (for example, typical structures from the Modern Defense).
Key moments to study
Review these concrete moments to make gains from this game:
- The f5 pawn break — study alternatives for both sides: how Black could have reduced the scope of your attack, and how you can time the break even faster in similar positions.
- The decision to trade into a queen/rook endgame — analyze why the simplification favored you (king activity, pawn structure, opponent piece passive squares).
- Endgame finishing technique — your king activation and pawn pushes were decisive. Practice similar king-and-pawn endgames to gain confidence and speed.
High-impact improvements
Focus on these to reduce losses and turn more winning positions into full points:
- Time management: several recent games ended on time. Save a small reserve of time for critical moments and avoid long think-time on routine moves.
- Counterplay awareness: before trading pieces ask “does my opponent get counterplay?” — if yes, improve piece placement first or delay trades.
- Endgame drills: reinforce standard rook and pawn techniques (Lucena, Philidor, simple king-and-pawn races) so you convert faster under time pressure.
- Refine your opening repertoire: you have excellent results in certain openings. Narrow to 1–2 main systems and deepen ideas so you reach comfortable middlegames reliably.
4-week practical plan
Small daily habits that produce big improvement:
- Daily tactics 15–20 min — focus on mating nets, pins, forks, and back-rank tactics (patterns you already encounter in your games).
- 2× per week game review — one win and one loss. Start without an engine, write 3 lessons, then check critical lines with an engine.
- Endgame practice 3× per week — 15 minutes practicing Lucena/Philidor and king+pawn technique.
- Opening study 2× per week — 20 minutes on one or two key lines from your preferred defenses; list common plans and opponent replies.
Quick drills to start today
Practical drills you can do on mobile right now:
- 30 tactical puzzles focused on mating nets (15–25 minutes).
- One endgame module: Lucena position — practice 5–10 completions (10–15 minutes).
- Annotate your last loss vs mittelsaechser: find the one move where evaluation shifted and write one-sentence why it went wrong (5–10 minutes).
- Opening checklist: write 6 typical plans and 3 opponent counterplans for your main opening (5 minutes).
Checklist before your next daily game
- Pick a simple opening plan for the first 10 moves so you don’t burn time early.
- If something is unclear around move 12–16, spend extra time there — many games are decided in this window.
- Before simplifying, ask: “Does my opponent get counterplay?” If yes, improve piece activity rather than trading immediately.
- In the final phase, prioritize king activity and passed pawns — these frequently decide daily games.
Notes from your stats — encouragement
Your recent rating jumps and opening win rates show you’re doing many things right. Keep the momentum by focusing on the small technical areas above — time control and endgame technique will convert many close positions into wins.
- Leverage openings with high win rates (you have excellent results in several Sicilian lines).
- Use targeted training to turn your strong middlegame wins into consistent final conversions.
