Your recent daily games: constructive take

Thomas Beerdsen, you’ve shown strong tactical energy and a willingness to fight for initiative in daily games. Below are focused notes from your three most recent daily games, followed by openings, trends, and a practical plan to keep improving on that trajectory.

Most recent win: quick takeaway

  • You pursued active piece play and kept the opponent under pressure, using dynamic pawn advances to create concrete problems. Your willingness to complicate the position paid off and you converted the middlegame edge into a decisive finish.
  • In sharp lines, continue to double-check critical tactical moments and watch for overextension. After gaining an initiative, pause briefly to confirm each key tactic before committing to the follow‑ups, to avoid giving your opponent counterplay opportunities.

Most recent loss: quick takeaway

  • You kept trying for the initiative and did not retreat into passive defense, which shows good fight in daily games.
  • The game suggests room for tightening the conversion phase after obtaining a tangible edge. Focus on reducing unforced errors in the middlegame and simplifying to favorable endgames when you’re ahead. In the late middlegame, aim to identify a clear plan (target a specific weakness or a favorable pawn structure) rather than chasing every tactical possibility.

Most recent draw: quick takeaway

  • You maintained solid defense and avoided structural concessions, keeping the game balanced and hard for your opponent to crack.
  • Look for ways to convert holds into practical chances. In drawn positions, practice identifying a concrete plan (activate the rooks, create a passer, or target a weakness) to push toward a win when your opponent slips even slightly.

  • —Games: 36, Wins: 24, Losses: 9, Draws: 3, Win rate: 66.67%. This line suits your aggressive style and willingness to engage. Continue refining move orders and common middlegame plans in this line, with particular attention to typical tactical motifs and counterplay against solid defenses.
  • —Games: 43, Wins: 28, Losses: 15, Win rate: 65.12%. A strong performer for you; use it as a reliable framework to develop a steady game and ask fewer early questions of your opponent’s plan.
  • —Games: 26, Wins: 16, Draws: 6, Losses: 4, Win rate: 61.54%. A solid, resilient option. Great for building positional understanding and converting small edges into goals.
  • —Games: 35, Wins: 19, Losses: 14, Draws: 2, Win rate: 54.29%. A sharp test for both sides; focus on firm strategic choices in the early middlegame and avoid overreaching in overly tactical routes when you’re uncertain.
  • —Games: 21, Wins: 11, Draws: 1, Losses: 9, Win rate: 52.38%. Reasonable results; consider pairing with the Najdorf as your core Sicilian weapons to keep a cohesive, high-pressure repertoire.
  • —Your other openings show solid results but with room to improve conversion, especially in endgames and when facing precise defensive setups. Use these as support lines to your main repertoire rather than primary weapons in high‑stakes games.

Your strength-adjusted win rate sits around 0.459, indicating there is room to prune blunders and shore up conversion in tricky middlegames. Consider a targeted plan to reduce execution errors in critical positions and improve consistency in endgames. A focused routine with short, repeatable drills can help translate the tactical prowess you show into steady results over longer sessions.

  • Your recent one‑month rating change is negative, and the three‑month figure also shows a dip. This can be a sign of tougher opposition or more complex middlegames in the recent window.
  • The six‑month and 12‑month trend indicators show a more positive direction, suggesting longer‑term improvement despite short‑term fluctuations. This pattern often means you’re building a solid foundation, even if the last few games were uneven.
  • To convert this into a steady rise, focus on a consistent routine: analyze every loss to identify recurring mistakes, and drill a small, repeatable plan in both opening and endgame practice.

  • Endgame focus: dedicate 20–30 minutes per week to rook endgames and simplified endings. Build a simple rule set (e.g., avoid giving up the e-pawn, activate the king early in rook endgames).
  • Pattern and blunder reduction: use 1–2 short tactical drills daily (5–10 minutes) focused on common motifs that appeared in your recent games (forks, overloading, back-rank themes, and miscoordination in the opponent’s pieces).
  • Time management habit: in daily games, set a rough move-time budget (e.g., 5–6 minutes for the opening, 10–15 minutes for the middlegame, and the rest for the endgame). Practice sticking to these borders to reduce time pressure errors.
  • Opening consolidation: continue with the Najdorf and Barnes defenses as your main pillars, but prepare a clear move-order knowledge sheet for 2–3 main lines against common White responses. This reduces early in-game confusion and helps maintain consistency.
  • Post-game review ritual: after every daily game, write down 3 concrete improvements and 1 key takeaway you will apply next time. Use these notes to guide your next practice session.
