Hi jottaavz – Personal Coaching Feedback
Where you shine
- Initiative hunter: Sacrifices such as 8…Bxd1!! (vs JamesCrooks15) show you like to seize the momentum early.
- Tactical alertness: Forks, skewers and discovered checks appear frequently in your wins.
- Fighting spirit: You keep searching for chances in long games and often out-last the opponent on the clock.
Top improvement priorities
- Opening discipline
• As White you rely on the Bird (1.f4) but the follow-up is vague (Na3?!, early queen moves). Study 3-5 model games and adopt the main set-up: e3–Nf3–Bb2–O-O–d3.
• As Black you jump between Englund, Pirc and off-beat lines. Pick one solid reply to 1.e4 and 1.d4 and play it for 20 games. - King safety first
Several losses began with the king in the centre (e.g. vs m1r1us). Add a “castle by move 10” checklist until it is second nature. - Time management
You lost two recent games on time in equal positions. Keep ≥50 % of your starting time until move 15; only “go tank” for truly critical moments. - Calculation depth
Before playing a tactic ask “blunder? What is my opponent’s best reply?”. 12…Qxd5? overlooked 13.Qxc8⁺ in your Pirc game. - End-game technique
Your win against jamescrooks15 needed 50+ moves to convert a won rook end-game. Drill basic rook endings so you can finish faster and save clock.
