Hi Renato Julian Vidal Prado — quick summary

Nice energy in these rapid games: you play aggressively with pawn storms (f3, g4, h4 lines) and create practical problems for opponents. That pays off often — you won several messy positions by staying active and punishing mistakes. At the same time you hit recurring problems when the centre opens or when your king is exposed.

What you did well (keep doing this)

• Consistent aggression: your flank pawn storms put opponents under immediate pressure and force them to solve concrete problems.
• Opening surprise value: unusual first moves make many opponents uncomfortable — you convert that practical edge into wins often (your Amar Gambit-style games show this).
• Finding tactical shots in chaotic positions: when pieces are tangled you find good captures and forcing sequences (example: the win with active rook play and captures against muslmmeiram).
• Persistence in attack: you keep piling on threats rather than drifting — that wins many low-accuracy games.

Recurring weaknesses to fix

• King safety: playing f3 and g4 early weakens your king. If the centre opens you get in trouble. Before launching pawns, make sure pieces are developed and the king has escape squares or is safely castled.
• Development-first principle: you often move many pawns before finishing minor‑piece development. Develop knights and bishops to useful squares (Nc3/Nf3, Bf4/Bg5 etc.) before advancing more pawns.
• Poor reaction to central breaks: opponents often reply with ...e5 or ...d5 breaks that undermine your pawns. Learn the typical replies and how to meet the break (exchange, block, or counter-break).
• Trading into unfavorable positions: sometimes you trade down into endgames or simplify when your king is weaker. Only simplify when the resulting position is clearly better for you.
• Opening repertoire instability: you have many different openings with mixed results. If you like the aggressive setup, learn the common defensive plans against it so you don’t get surprised.

Concrete mistakes from recent games (examples)

• Loss vs YessinYenguii: after advancing g- and h-pawns you were vulnerable to central strikes and piece pressure. The opponent played a timely pawn break and lifted rooks to attack. Lesson: when you overextend pawns, build piece coordination and watch for opponent E/D‑file pressure.
• Loss vs NDejean (as Black): allowing an advanced enemy pawn structure and then letting a passed pawn or piece infiltration decide things. Try to stop pawn advances earlier or trade into a clear plan — don’t leave enemy pawns free to roll.
• Wins where you succeeded: you punished loose pieces and used rooks actively on open files. Emphasize that in your play — open a file, double rooks, invade seventh rank.

Quick opening recommendations

• If you enjoy the f3/g4 style, learn the standard defensive ideas opponents use and the correct reactieons: don’t move pawns repeatedly before developing. Study main replies and typical pawn breaks (learn when ...e5 or ...d5 will be dangerous).
• If you want more solidity sometimes, prepare one reliable alternative like the Caro-Kann Defense (if you ever play Black) or a calmer flank plan as White — having two main systems reduces surprise losses.
• Study a handful of typical plans (pawn breaks, piece posts, where to put the rooks) for your favoured opening — depth beats randomness at your level.

Training plan — next 30 days (practical, 4 items)

• Daily tactics: 12–20 puzzles per day focused on forks, pins, discovered attacks. These fix the tactical misses that turn winning positions into losses.
• 3 annotated games per week: after each session, pick your two most important games (a win and a loss) and write 5–8 notes: what you planned, what changed, one move you would change. Keep it short and consistent.
• Opening drills (15–20 min, 3× week): pick your main setup (the f3/g4 system) and learn 3 typical defenses and one correct reply to the ...e5/...d5 central break. Use short model games — not full theory dumps.
• Endgame basics (2× week, 10–15 min): king activity and basic rook endgames (Lucena, simple rook vs pawns) — these will earn half‑points from won middlegames you later simplify.

Practical game tips for rapid time control

• First 10 moves: prioritize development and king safety over gaining tempo with extra pawn moves.
• When you start a pawn storm, ask: “If the centre opens, is my king safe?” If not, delay or prepare with pieces placed to block file invasion.
• Use simple plans: target a weak square, double rooks on a semi-open file, or fix a pawn target. Avoid vague moves without a plan.
• Time: keep ~4–5 minutes for the middlegame. Don’t spend too long on one move unless it’s decisive — in rapid you get punished for overthinking one branch.

Specific drills (next week)

• Tactics: 100 puzzles (10/day) focused on discovered attack and back-rank motifs.
• Opening: play 8 rapid games with the same opening setup; after each game, add 3 notes about a move you missed or a reply that surprised you.
• Endgame: practice the basic rook vs pawn endgame and king + pawn vs king for 30 minutes total.

Resource suggestions & how to study (no external links)

• Use an engine only to check tactical blunders and to understand why a plan fails — don’t memorize engine moves, learn the idea behind them.
• Watch short videos or lessons about pawn‑storm structures and how centre breaks punish overextension. Focus on concept learning (when and why to open the centre).
• Keep a short notebook (or notes file) of key ideas for your main opening: two good lines, two dangerous opponent replies, and one endgame type that often arises.

Next steps I recommend for you

• Stabilize your opening: pick one aggressive setup and learn the typical defensive responses (especially the central pawn breaks).
• Train tactics consistently — that gives the biggest rating lift at your level.
• Practice converting advantages with basic endgame knowledge. Many of your wins come from keeping pressure — convert them reliably.

Example position to review

Open this decisive win and replay the game slowly to spot the turning moments. Study where your piece activity outweighed pawn weaknesses.
