Constructive Feedback for Bảo Anh Nguyễn Huy

1. What you are already doing well

• Opening variety: You confidently play 1.e4 as White and answer 1.e4 with the Scandinavian (…d5) as Black. This gives you practical experience in both open and half-open positions.
• Tactical alertness: Your recent wins show you spot forks and intermediate captures quickly (e.g. 24.dxc7! and 29.Qxe8⁺ against ramkris71).
• Willingness to castle: In most games you secure your king early, which is vital in blitz.

2. Biggest improvement opportunities

1. Time management
   • Three of the last five losses were on time while the position was still playable.
   • Try adding a short increment (3 + 2 or 5 + 5) in training games and practice moving on intuition once your clock drops below 30 seconds.
   
2. Handling counter-play on the f-file
   In the loss to herkol2 (French Defence) the sequence 15…f6 16.f4 fxe5 cracked your own pawn shield and invited heavy-piece pressure.
   Study typical French structures where …f6 is double-edged and learn safer plans such as …c5 followed by …Nc6.
   Critical fragment:
   
   
   
3. Over-pushing pawns in Philidor / Sicilian setups
   Games against sh1347 and asma-2025 show that pawn storms (…g5 or …b4) left key squares undefended. Before advancing a flank pawn, ask yourself “What will my opponent attack once this pawn moves?” (prophylaxis).
4. Finishing won positions
   In several wins opponents resigned early. Try converting similar advantages against the engine so you rehearse technical endings. This will make you calmer when the opponent plays on.

3. Opening tips tailored to you

Situation	Practical recommendation
Scandinavian as Black	Replace the rare 3…Qe6+ with the main line 3…Qa5. It is safer and scores better at every level.
Italian / Giuoco as White	After 5.d4 exd4 6.cxd4 keep the initiative with 7.Ng5 or 7.O-O instead of the slower 7.a3.
Facing the French	Learn the Advance (3.e5) so Black’s …Bb4 ideas never appear.

4. Tactical & strategic training plan

• Solve 10 mixed tactics a day at 3-minute per puzzle; focus on forks, pins and back-rank motifs.
• Play one 15 + 10 game every week and analyse it deeply. Mark moments where you spent >30 seconds and still blundered.
• Create a mini-database of your Scandinavian games and tag recurring middlegame plans (minor-piece exchanges on c6, pressure on the e-file, etc.).

5. Quick reference

• Your current blitz peak: 1223 (2024-11-27)

6. Motivation boost

Remember: raising one category (≈100 rating points) usually comes from removing big mistakes, not adding spectacular moves. Keep the king safe, use your time wisely, and the points will follow. Chúc bạn may mắn!
