Recent performance snapshot

Your recent rapid games show a sharp, tactical mindset with strong initiative. You convert advantages in complex middlegames and stay active even when positions get dynamic. To keep climbing, focus on time management in longer games and sharpening prophylaxis to avoid last‑minute surprises.

What you do well

• Sharp calculation in tactically rich positions, spotting forcing moves that create clear winning chances.
• Opening choices that align with an aggressive, piece‑active style, yielding dynamic middlegames.
• Endgame tenacity when ahead or in simplified endings, converting with calm precision.
• Resilience in complex middlegames, staying active and pursuing concrete plans rather than passive defense.

Areas to improve

• Time management in longer battles: structure your calculation, prune unnecessary lines earlier, and keep a steady rhythm under pressure.
• Prophylaxis: quick checks for opponent threats and tactical ideas to prevent last‑minute surprises.
• Opening pattern study: deepen understanding of your main lines to anticipate typical middlegame plans and pawn structures.
• Endgame technique under pressure: practice rook endings and minor‑piece endings to maximize conversions when the game simplifies.
• Develop a simple, repeatable middlegame plan after the opening phase to guide decisions and reduce overthinking with limited time.

Opening insights

Your results are strongest in several familiar systems. In particular, the Modern Defense with the Pterodactyl Variation tends to lead to active, dynamic play for you, while the QGD with 4.Nf3 and the Semi‑Slav Accelerated Meran Variation have produced solid wins. You’ve also shown strength in the Catalan and some English setups. The common thread is good piece activity and early pressure on key squares.

What this means for you: lean into openings that suit your style, but keep expanding your understanding of the typical middlegame plans these lines generate. Build a small, repeatable decision framework for after the first phase of moves.

Next steps

Continue refining your tactical repertoire while solidifying a clear middlegame plan and solid endgame technique. Pair disciplined time management with targeted opening study to sustain progress and consistency.
