Hi Tera Baap, here is your personalised chess feedback

Quick snapshot

Your best rapid rating so far is 777 (2025-07-11). With a few targeted tweaks you can soon break the next barrier.

Curious when you score the most points? Hover over the charts below:

What you are already doing well

• Initiative-first mindset. In your win against everywhere324 you opened the g-file early and never let the pressure drop. Excellent use of dynamic play.
• Pawn breaks. Ideas like 16.d6! and 25.c5! show you recognise moments to open lines when better developed.
• Converting leads. Once ahead you generally trade into winning endgames without fuss—keep that killer instinct.

Main areas to improve

1. King safety & opening basics.
   Two miniature losses (vs vinhdzvip-pro and asidans) ended with …Qxf2# before move 10. The pattern was:
   • Moving the same piece several times (e.g. Bd3–Nd5–Nd5-again).
   • Ignoring the f2/f7 weakness.
   • Delaying castling.
   Adopt the mantra: Develop, develop, castle, connect rooks. Keep the queen home until at least move 6-7 unless a tactic forces otherwise.
2. Tactical vigilance.
   In the Alekhine game versus msht74 you missed 27…Re1+! and fell to a mating net. Before every move ask, “What can my opponent do if I blink?” Spend at least 20-30 seconds on blunder-checks, especially when pieces hang or checks are available.
3. Coordinate before pawn-storming.
   Launching the h- and g-pawns (e.g. 8.g4 in the Scandinavian) is fun, but when pieces lag behind it creates holes around your own king. Get all minors active first; then push pawns as support, not spearheads.
4. Clock management.
   Many 10-minute games finish with 7-8 minutes still on your clock. Use that time as a resource—especially in tactical positions.

Two-week training plan

• Solve 100 tactics puzzles in the 400-800 range with 100 % accuracy, not speed.
• Play one rapid game daily. Annotate it yourself first, then compare with the engine.
• Learn one solid system as White (e.g. London or Italian) and one as Black (your beloved Scandinavian Defense). Focus on ideas rather than memorising dozens of lines.
• Set up the position after 5.Nd5? …Qxf2# from your loss and practise finding a safe alternative until it is second nature.

Instructive comparison: same idea, different side

Next milestone

Apply the above for two weeks and aim for 700 Rapid. Review the charts again afterwards—you’ll see the upward trend!

Good luck, have fun, and remember: every blunder is a free lesson.
