Hi Mr. Bean – Personal Coaching Report
Dashboard
- Peak blitz rating: 3206 (2022-10-20)
- Main weapons: King’s Gambit (White) & French Defence (Black)
What’s Working Well
- Sharp attacking play – In your win vs. David Paravyan the sequence 19.Rf6!! and 25.e6! highlights accurate calculation under fire.
- French counter-punching – Recent French-Winawer games show good feel for …c5/…f6 breaks and exploiting weak dark squares.
- Nerves in time scrambles – Repeated perpetual-check nets (e.g. 58.Qc7+!) prove you keep tactical vision even below 10 seconds.
Growth Priorities
- Time management
Your only recorded loss (Polish Opening, 2021-12-08) was on the clock. Enter endings with ≥30 s reserve; pre-move obvious recaptures. - Endgame technique
In the same game a winning rook-pawn ending slipped after 70…Rh3?
• Study Philidor/Lucena once a week.
• Play engine sparring: 4-rook endings at depth 5. - Opening variety
Experiments like 1.b3 & early h-pawn pushes were punished by GMs (Hikaru Nakamura). Add a sound main-line (Spanish or Italian) to avoid targetable prep. - Pawn-storm discipline
h-pawn thrusts appeared before full development in four games. Before pushing ask, “What squares am I weakening?”
