Hi nono022 – personalised coaching report
1. Opening fundamentals
- White side (e-pawn openings): Your habitual line 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bd3?! (loss vs ahmedmujahed) blocks your own d-pawn and lets Black gain space with …d5-d4. Try one of:
- 3.Bb5 – Ruy López
- 3.Bc4 – Italian Game
- 3.d4 – Scotch/Center Game
- Black vs 1.d4: The quick …Be6 (game vs maite11111) became a target and you resigned on move 5. A safer repertoire is: …d5 → …Nf6 → …e6 → …c5/…Be7.
2. King safety first
- In the Vienna Game vs presumingned you walked into 6…Qxh2#. Before every move run a “mate-check”: “If it were my opponent’s turn, could they give mate or a very strong check?”
- Beware of early flank pawn pushes (e.g. 1…g5 in your loss to soessie11). They expose your king and weaken dark squares.
3. Tactical alertness
Most of your wins come from spotting loose pieces (…Nxc2+, …Nxa1). Apply the same vigilance defensively:
- List all Checks, Captures, Threats that either side has after every move.
- Solve 10-15 tactics per day (forks, pins, basic mates). Consistency matters more than quantity.
4. Piece coordination & pawn structure
- Avoid creating doubled f-pawns with gxf3/fxe4 unless there is clear compensation.
- Try not to move the same piece multiple times in the opening; aim to castle by move 10.
5. Time management
You often blunder with 20+ minutes left. Slow down at critical moments—spend at least 30-45 seconds when pieces are in contact or when queens are on the board.
6. Action plan for the next two weeks
- Replace 3.Bd3 with one of the suggested main-line moves.
- Adopt one solid defence against 1.d4 (Queen’s Gambit Declined or Slav).
- Daily: 20 puzzles + 5-minute review of your last game’s critical moment.
- Weekly: play one 30 + 20 game, annotate it yourself, then compare with an engine.
- Use the “blunder-check” rule before pressing “Move”.
