Hi loveleen_kk – personal feedback report
Your current peak is 1840 (2025-06-17). The charts below show when you score best – use them to schedule play/training when your win-rate is highest.
👍 What already works
- Enterprising attacks. In your latest win you unleashed 15.Bxh6!! and finished with 18.Rg3+, a textbook h-file assault.
- Sound Queen’s-Gambit structures as White. You develop quickly, seize the centre, and convert small advantages efficiently.
- Confidence in sacrificing material when the enemy king is exposed – a valuable skill many players lack.
🚧 Main improvement targets
1. Opening choices with Black
- Scandinavian (2…c6) – the pawn on c6 blocks your light-square bishop and hands White a space edge. In the loss to faithfuel your queen drifted to b2/a4 and was trapped. Suggestion: test the main line 3…Qxd5 or 3…Nf6 instead.
- Old Benoni (1…c5 vs 1.d4). Fun but double-edged – several defeats (e.g. 19.Qg7# against suvra83) began with slow development and an exposed king. If you like dynamic play, study modern Benoni theory (…g6 & …e6 plans); if not, add the more solid Slav Defense.
2. Premature pins with …Bg4 / …Bf5
Games vs FaithFuel, Nachtfahrt and others show the same pattern: you pin the knight, White hits you with h3–g4/Ne5 and gains time. Pin after you castle or when it supports a concrete tactic.
3. Tactics & calculation depth
Quick mates against you suggest you sometimes trust your opponent’s last move too much. Add 15 min of tactical training (back-rank, double attack, over-loaded piece themes) to each study session.
4. Clock handling
Two recent games were lost on time in drawable positions. Practise “candidate-move scanning” to make safe, routine moves fast and keep at least 60 seconds for complex positions.

⏩ Two-week action plan
- Choose one defence vs 1.e4 and one vs 1.d4; play 10 rapid games in each and analyse the first 15 moves with an engine.
- Daily: 25 rated puzzles + one 3-minute Puzzle Rush. Record any missed tactic in a notebook.
- After every game write one sentence identifying the critical moment and the lesson learned.
- Three times a week spend 15 minutes on basic rook & pawn endgames (Lucena, Philidor, opposition).
Keep the fighting spirit, tidy up the openings, and your next rating jump will come soon. Good luck at the board!
