Hi mehdi3098895!
Congrats on consistently performing around the 2500-blitz mark (2550 (2019-04-23)). Your recent results show an excellent fighting spirit and a willingness to venture into sharp, dynamic positions. Below is some personalised feedback based on your latest games.
What you’re doing well
- Dynamic piece play: In the win vs Brucey100 (B04) you willingly gave up structure for active pieces and converted confidently after 29…Nd3+.
- Practical decision-making under time pressure: You frequently reach favourable N + P endings with only seconds left and still convert (e.g. vs UzuHa-NaruSuke).
- Resilience: Even when the opening goes badly you find counter-chances (see 23…Qg4 in the first PGN, turning a passive position into an attack).
Key areas to focus on next
-
Pawn grabbing in the opening
In your loss to SecretGM (A09) 7…Nxb4!? won a pawn but cost valuable development time. Eight moves later White’s lead in development and the open e-file were decisive.
Ask yourself whether the extra pawn is worth letting White build a lead in development. Often the safer course is a consolidating move like 7…Bxb4+ or 7…a5. -
King safety when you castle short in Alekhine/Nimzowitsch structures
Several opponents exploited the dark-square complex around e6–g7–h6. Study typical plans after …g6 & …Bg7; be ready for sacrifices on h5/h6 and thematic lever f4-f5. Tip: Load master games where Black delays …g6 in favour of …d6, …e5, bringing the queen to e7 first. -
End-game conversion technique
You handle tactical finishes well, but in quieter endings you sometimes chase pawns instead of centralising the king. Set up drills with 4-5-pawn rook endings and practise the “cut-off king → advance h-pawn” plan until it’s automatic. -
Clock management in 60-sec games
Two recent time-forfeit losses came from completely winning positions. Adopt a “pre-move ladder” for forced sequences and consider switching to increment (e.g. 1 | 1) when practicing new openings.
Opening repertoire suggestions
| You’re playing | Idea to test |
|---|---|
| Alekhine (…Nf6) | Occasionally mix in 1…e5 to practice classical structures and avoid opponent prep. |
| Modern / Pirc setups | Study the plan …c5 & …Nc6 vs the Austrian Attack, postponing …g6. |
| 1 Nc3 / 1 b3 with White | Add a main-line e4-opening (Italian or Catalan) to broaden middlegame patterns. |
Middlegame themes to drill
- Outpost creation on d4/e5; convert a knight on an outpost into material gain.
- Exchange sacrifices on c3/c6 – when they work, when they don’t (exchange sacrifice).
- Recognising transition moments to simplify vs to maintain tension. Use annotated GM games to see how they judge such transitions.
Study plan (4 weeks)
- Week 1: Analyse every lost game where you took a pawn early. Tag them “Greedy7” for quick review.
- Week 2: 30-minute daily end-game practice (rook + pawn). Use Chess.com drills or Lichess studies.
- Week 3: Watch a video series on prophylaxis (e.g. by Dvoretsky) and summarise 5 takeaways.
- Week 4: Play a ten-game mini-match in the Italian as White; no offbeat first moves allowed.
