What You’re Already Doing Well

• Solid opening template. 1.e4 followed by Nc3 & d3 gives you familiar positions and keeps you out of heavy theory—great for confidence building.
• Early central tension. The push d4 (or …d4 when you’re Black) shows you’re actively looking to open lines once you’ve castled.
• Resourceful end-games. Your win against ppistola ended in a rook-and-pawn conversion that was handled calmly—nice technique.

Biggest Growth Areas

1. Piece activity before exchanges.
   You often play Bxf6/Bxf3 very early, handing the opponent the bishop pair. Before exchanging, ask “Does my bishop have future prospects?” If yes, keep it. Try stepping the bishop back (Bh4/Bh5) and maintain pressure instead of capturing.
2. King safety & pawn structure.
   Your loss vs. jorling-260 shows what can happen when …gxf6 or …h5 weaken the king’s shell. Review the critical sequence:
   Notice how every pawn push (f-, h- and d-pawns) opened fresh files for Black’s pieces. Train yourself to ask, “Will this pawn move uncover squares near my king?”
3. Tactics, tactics, tactics.
   Many of your losses swing on a single missed fork or skewer (e.g. Nb5-c7+ in the accelerated London loss). Spend 10–15 minutes daily on tactics puzzles rated 900-1200; focus on forks, pins and removing the defender.
4. Time management.
   A few results end with “won on time” or flagging while still +3 in material. Try the “15-5-5 rule”: aim to finish the opening with ≥8:45 on the clock, the middlegame with ≥5:00 and leave ≥0:30 for technical endgames.

Opening Road-Map (next 10 games)

• As White: Keep the Vienna system but experiment with 4.f4 (Vienna Gambit) in one game and 4.Bc4 in another. Compare resulting middlegames.
• As Black vs. 1.e4: Switch from 2…Nc6 to 2…d6 in the closed Sicilian to avoid doubled f-pawns after Bxf6 gxf6.
• As Black vs. 1.d4: Add the simple 1…d5 & 2…Bf5 London-style setup. Zero theory, solid structure.

Weekly Drill List

1. 25 puzzles on forks & pins
2. Play one 15|10 game focusing only on king safety (no pawn storms before move 15 unless center is closed)
3. Endgame flashcards: K+P vs K; basic rook checkmating net

Mindset Tip

Treat each move as a question: “What is my opponent’s next threat?” If you cannot name a threat, spend another 10-15 seconds before moving. This single habit will eliminate most one-move blunders.
