✅ Things you already do well

1. Tactical awareness
   You often spot mating ideas quickly. In your Bishop’s Opening win you smoothly converted pressure on g2 into a checkmate:
   
2. Active piece play
   In several victories you developed pieces toward the centre and attacked before your opponent could organise. Good examples are the Four Knights Game (…Bb4 and …Qe4#) and your quick 16-move win with 1.d4/2.Nc3.
3. Willingness to experiment
   You try both 1.e4 and 1.d4 and are not afraid of unusual ideas. This curiosity will pay off once it is backed by sound fundamentals.

🔍 Biggest improvement areas

1. King safety
   Unnecessary king walks (e.g. 4.Ke2 5.Kd3 8.Ke3) violate king safety. Aim to castle by move 10 in 90 % of your games.
2. Opening discipline
   Playing the same piece many times in the opening slows you down. In the recent loss with 1.Nf3, pieces jumped back and forth (Ng4-e3-g4-e5-g4…). Focus on develop once, then move on.
3. Endgame technique
   The 69-move queen endgame showed good fighting spirit but also hesitation in pushing passed pawns and activating your king. Study basic king and pawn endings and queen vs pawn techniques.

🧑‍🏫 Training plan

• Daily tactics: 15 minutes of puzzles will sharpen your tactics. Look for back-rank mates, forks and pins.
• Model openings: Pick one simple system with both colours (e.g. London as White, Scandinavian as Black). Play 20 games sticking to core development rules.
• Analyse every loss: After each game ask “Where did my plan stop making sense?” Revisiting your losses with an engine after your own comments accelerates learning.
• Endgame drills: Practise king-and-pawn endings and queen vs pawn/rook conversions 10 minutes per session.
• Longer time controls: One 10 + 5 or 15 + 10 game a day helps reduce blunders that come from speed rather than understanding.

🚀 Quick checklist for every game

• Develop all minor pieces before move 10.
• Castle early; tuck the king behind a pawn shield.
• Before pushing wing pawns (g- or h-pawn) ask: “Is my king safe?”
• When ahead in material, simplify; when behind, complicate.
• Use your opponent’s time: plan during their move.

Keep enjoying the game and remember that steady, focused practice beats any single trick. Good luck in your next battles!
