Overall Performance

Your recent performance shows a strength adjusted win rate of about 53.6%, indicating you are winning slightly more than half of your games against opponents adjusted for their skill.

Your rating over the last 1, 3, and 6 months shows some fluctuation: a small drop of 7 points in the last month, but positive gains over 3 months (+13) and a nearly stable result over 6 months (-2).

The rating trend slopes support this mixed pattern — a positive upward trend currently in the 1-month period, indicating recent improvement momentum.

Highlights from Recent Games

  • You have played a variety of opening systems, including the King's Pawn Opening (ECO B00), Chess960 variations, Scotch Game, and French Defense Advance Variation, demonstrating a diverse repertoire which is a strong asset.
  • Several wins ended by checkmate or resignation, showing good tactical alertness and ability to convert advantages.
  • In some games, notably against PawnBits, you successfully applied pressure and took advantage of mistakes such as exposed kings and weak pawn structures.
  • A few losses also stemmed from tactical oversights or being caught in forced mating nets, such as in the game which ended quickly with an opponent’s queen mate.

Areas for Improvement

  • Opening Accuracy: Some losses involved falling victim to early attacks or forks after the opening phase — consider reinforcing your understanding of common traps in your preferred openings.
  • Endgame Technique: A few games were lost in later stages despite material or positional resources; practicing basic endgame principles and tactics will help convert more winning positions or save difficult ones.
  • Tactical Awareness: Sharpening your skill in spotting opponent threats especially related to checks and pins can help avoid quick mates and blunders.
  • Time Management: Since many games are daily (long time controls), use the time to analyze critical positions deeply and avoid impulsive moves that lead to rapid loss.

Recommendations

  • Review your recent losses carefully to identify recurring patterns, especially around missed threats or tactical oversights.
  • Analyze your wins to see what moves and strategies lead to successful conversions and try to replicate those plans.
  • Consider focusing training on opening principles and common traps in your favorite openings (King's Pawn Opening, Chess960, Scotch Game).
  • Practice endgame scenarios to improve defence and finishing power.
  • Use puzzles and tactical trainers to boost pattern recognition and calculation speed.
  • Keep up the positive recent rating trend by maintaining consistent study and review habits.

Keep It Up!

You're showing improvement with some solid wins and positive rating trends. By focusing on reducing tactical mistakes and deepening your opening knowledge, you can continue to grow stronger. Keep analyzing your games and enjoy the learning process!
