Your Strengths

1. Natural attacking instinct. You’re not afraid to aim at the enemy king right out of the gate. The miniature below is a good example:

           1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nh6 3 c4 Bc5 4 d4 Bb4+ 5 Bd2 Nc6
           6 d5 Nd4 7 Bxb4 Nxf3+ 8 Qxf3 d6 9 c5 Bg4
           10 Qg3 Qc8 11 cxd6 cxd6 12 Bxd6 Qc1#.
         

   You saw the thematic …Qc1# finish in seconds—great tactical vision!
2. Time management. In most games you keep at least a minute more than your opponent. This buys you thinking time for critical positions.
3. Fighting spirit. Even in worse positions (e.g. your 62-move win against 72727kz) you stay resourceful and set practical problems.

Key Improvement Areas

1. King safety & early development.
   • In several losses you were mated before move 6 because your king remained in the centre and the queen wandered.
   • Example:

             1 e4 e5 2 Bc4 Nh6 3 d4 Qh4 4 Nc3 Ng4 5 Nf3 Qxf2#.
           

   Goal: Castle by move 10 in 90 % of your games.
2. Opening fundamentals over tricks.
   • Multiple repeats of the moves …Nh6-g4-h6 burn tempi and leave pieces on the rim (“a knight on the rim is dim”).
   • Learn one classical setup for each side so you can develop, castle, connect rooks smoothly.
3. Piece coordination.
   In the Scandinavian loss vs winercr your rooks never spoke to each other. Activate all pieces before launching pawn storms.
4. Endgame conversion.
   You needed 40+ moves to convert an extra rook because pawns were left on original squares. Study basic rook endings and the “Lucena” technique.

Study Plan (4 Weeks)

Practical Checklist For Each Game

• Control the centre with pawns or pieces.
• Develop both knights and bishops before moving the queen twice.
• Castle early – remember castle keeps your king safe and brings a rook to the centre.
• Ask “What is my opponent threatening?” every move.
• When ahead, simplify; when behind, complicate.
