Hi KanK Jeramu!

Great job keeping an active playing schedule and already scoring some nice tactical wins. Below is some focused feedback based on your latest games.

Your Current Strengths

• Willingness to Attack – You regularly push pawns (g- and h-files) and aim at the enemy king. That fearless attitude is valuable.
• Piece Activity – In several wins you quickly placed bishops and knights on aggressive posts (e.g. …Nd4 in the Nimzowitsch Defense and Bh3 in the Konstantinopolsky line).
• Basic Tactical Awareness – You spotted material grabs such as 11.Bxa8 and 19.Bxa2+ in recent games, showing good “loose piece radar.”

Most Frequent Improvement Areas

1. Opening Discipline
   • Too many early queen moves (Qg4, Qf4, Qc6, …Qe5) invite tempo-gaining attacks.
   • Repeatedly delaying kingside development/short castling leaves your king in the centre, which cost you games.
   Action plan: Pick one simple setup for each colour and follow core principles: control the centre, develop minor pieces, castle, then look for pawn storms. (Example repertoire: Italian Game as White; Classical …e5 vs 1.e4 and …d5 vs 1.d4 as Black.)
2. Piece Safety & Blunder Checks
   • Loss vs rijulsharma264: 24.Qc6?? allowed …Rxc6 and the queen fell.
   • Loss vs JoveDD01: your bishop on b4 and knight on g4 were both hanging in the same line.
   Action plan: Before each move ask: “What changed? Is anything now undefended?” 5-second scan saves many pieces.
3. Time Management
   • Two recent losses were on time with playable or winning positions.
   Action plan: – Use the opponent’s time for planning.
   – Practice 3-min puzzle rush or 5-min games with increment to develop quick forcing-move calculation.
   – If a position is clearly winning, simplify rather than searching for perfect moves.
4. Endgame Technique
   • Your marathon win vs skibidomdom eventually converted, but faster technique (centralising king, pushing passer sooner) would have saved clock time.
   Action plan: Review basic rook endings (Lucena/Philidor) and king-&pawn principles once a week.

Focused Drill for the Week

Solve 20 tactics per day rated 400-800; stop and replay any you miss. Then play two 10 | 5 rapid games where you:

• Follow your chosen opening “script” for the first 8 moves.
• Spend at least 5 seconds per move doing a blunder check.
• Write down one thing you did well and one thing to improve right after each game.

Quick Reference

• Best rating so far: 819 (2025-05-12) – aim to beat it by next month.
• When you have 5 spare minutes: open

Example Mini-Lesson

Compare two approaches in the same opening:

Notice how White kept the queen home, completed development quickly, and is ready to castle. Try to reach positions like this before launching pawn storms.

Next Steps

1. Pick one White and one Black opening and stick to them for 25 games.
2. Do 15-minute endgame study every Sunday.
3. Re-watch the critical positions in your last loss and ask, “Was my move forced? Did I have a safer alternative?”

You’re building a solid foundation—keep the pieces safe, manage the clock, and the rating gains will follow. Good luck, and enjoy the journey!
