Your recent rating trend is very encouraging. With a 1-month increase of 42 points, 3-month growth of 60, and 6-month progress of 105, you're consistently improving your skills. Your rating trend slopes further confirm this positive development, especially the 3-month slope of 42 indicating rapid growth.
Game Highlights and Feedback
You have shown good ability to convert advantages into wins, including several checkmate victories and solid strategic play in openings like the Caro-Kann Defense and Four Knights Game. Your strength adjusted win rate of almost 64% is notable and shows effective play against comparable opponents.
Opening Play: You often adopt mainline openings such as the Kings Pawn Opening and Caro-Kann Defense, which suit your style well. Continuing to practice key variations will strengthen your early game and control the flow.
Endgame Technique: Many wins ended with checkmate or material advantage, reflecting good finishing skills. Some losses featured strong counterplay by opponents, so focusing on king safety and piece activity in late middlegame and endgame will help.
Time Management: The daily formats you play allow deep thinking, but watch out for possible time pressure. In one game you won because your opponent flagged—balancing speed and accuracy can ensure consistent success.
Areas for Improvement
To continue your improvement trajectory, consider these focus areas:
Tactical Awareness: Practice spotting combinations and threats quicker to avoid mistakes in complex positions.
Positional Understanding: Work on plans to improve piece coordination and pawn structure, especially in openings and middlegames.
Defense Skills: Some losses occurred due to opponents’ tactical counterattacks—study defensive techniques to withstand pressure and turn the tables.
Opening Repertoire: Deepen knowledge of your chosen openings and explore a few new ideas to keep opponents guessing.
Next Steps
Keep analyzing your games, especially the close losses, to identify missed opportunities and tricky moments. Use training tools to reinforce tactics and endgame principles regularly. Consider setting learning goals for each month aligned with your observed trends and openings used.
You're making solid progress—keep the steady effort, and your chess strength will continue to climb.
