Areas for Improvement
- Time Management: Several games were decided on time or by rapid time pressure. Try to balance speed with accuracy by practicing time allocation, especially in complex middlegame positions.
- Endgame Technique: While you reach favorable endgame positions, improving precision and patience in converting advantages will increase your win rate. Review basic rook endings and pawn promotion techniques.
