Chess Coaching Advice for Noxx9

Coach Chesswick

Hi Noxx9 – here’s a tailored review of your recent games

Dynamic piece play against fianchetto setups. In your most recent win against davidprodigy you successfully opened lines with ...c5 and ...e5, then used the Nd4-f3-d3 knight manoeuvre to invade. The final combination 24...Qe3+ 25.Kh1 Nf2+! showed sharp tactical vision.
Opening depth with 1...d5/…e6 structures. You consistently reach solid Queen’s Gambit Declined and Catalan-type middlegames, keeping pawn structure sound and pieces harmonised.
Blitz conversion in favourable positions. Your 180-second win vs. Aminu-Musa demonstrated clean attacking technique – once you created a passed e-pawn you kept the initiative and finished with mate on h1.

Time management in Daily chess. Five of your six most recent losses were on time. Consider enabling move-reminders or reducing the number of concurrent games so each position still receives fresh calculation.
Overextension of the queen in the opening. In the loss to Championsnightmare your early 5...Qa5 allowed Black to gain tempos with Nc6-d4-f5. Delay queen excursions until development is complete.
Transitioning advantages into endings. Several blitz games show healthy material edges that drift when you hesitate to trade into winning endgames. Study model endgames (e.g. Lucena position, rook vs. pawn endings) and set a rule of thumb: when two pawns up, seek simplification.
Handling cxd5 Qxd5 structures. Against the Queen’s Gambit Accepted/Austrian line you sometimes allow ...Nxd4 tactics on d4. Re-examine the typical plan (Be2, Nf3, h3, Re1) to keep the centre stable.

Week	Focus	How to work on it
1	Clock discipline	Play three 10 + 5 rapid games a day; aim to keep >60 % of your initial time by move 20. Review with arrows where you spent >1 min.
2	Tactical endurance	30 intermediate-level puzzles daily; tag motifs (pin, fork, deflection) to build a personal motif list. can help you pick your sharpest hours.
3	Endgame conversion	Study 15 rook-endgame positions from “100 Endgames You Must Know”. Recreate them on the board and play vs. engine until you win.
4	Opening tightening	Create a mini-repertoire file covering (a) QGD as White, (b) …e6 declined Slav as Black. Annotate one model game per line using the built-in analysis board.
