Hi LordPrimpro – personalised coaching report

1. What you are already doing well

  • Fighting spirit. You play actively, look for pins (…Bg4, …Bb4+) and are not afraid to launch attacks. This leads to several quick tactical wins, e.g. the miniature against yor11ch.
  • Basic mating patterns. Your wins often finish with back-rank or king-side mates – you are recognising these ideas nicely.
  • End-game persistence. In the win versus Raisedmk you converted a rook ending smoothly; good technique for your rating range.

2. Biggest opportunities (next two weeks)

  1. King safety & pawn structure. Five of your last six losses started with an early g- or h-pawn push while your king was still in the centre. Try this simple rule: “Castle first, pawn-storm later.”
  2. Stop moving the same piece twice in the opening. Example: in your win vs. cruasahh the bishop bounced Bb4+–Be7–Bb4+ in the first 10 moves. Those lost tempi will hurt against stronger opposition.
  3. Avoid the early-queen habit. The line 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Qf6 appears in many games and often backfires (see loss to TukaraMane). Play 2…Nc6 or 2…Nf6 instead and keep the lady at home.

3. Opening toolbox (keep it simple)

• With White: stick to 1.e4 and aim for normal Italian/Scotch structures. Develop both knights, then bishops, castle, then push pawns.
• Against 1.e4: try the Scotch Four Knights set-up: e5, Nc6, Nf6, Bc5. No early queen moves, solid pawn chain.
• Against 1.d4: play a “triangle” set-up: d5, e6, Nf6, Bd6/Bb4. Easy piece development, quick castling.

4. Illustrative mini-lesson

Notice how the early queen sortie gives White free tempi:


  • Black’s queen has moved twice; White’s pieces gained development.
  • After …Nc6 instead of …Qf6 you would be equal and safer.

5. Tactical training plan

Solve 15–20 puzzles a day filtered for themes “double attack” and “mate in 2”. Most of your missed tactics fall into these categories.

6. End-game focus

  • Play the king-and-pawn opposition drill vs. computer until you win 10 times in a row.
  • Learn the basic Lucena and Philidor rook endings – they appear every few games at your time control.

7. Motivation checkpoint

Your current peak ratings: Rapid 924 (2023-02-27), Blitz 746 (2023-03-29). Set a realistic first goal: Rapid 800 by next month. With the fixes above, this is absolutely doable!

Good luck, enjoy the climb, and remember: solid fundamentals + tactical alertness = rapid improvement. I’m looking forward to your next set of games!
