Hi Lena, here is some personalised, constructive feedback based on your recent games.

1. Celebrate Your Strengths

• Versatile opening repertoire: you handle both 1.d4 (Queen’s Gambit / London-style set-ups) and 1.e4 positions smoothly, showing confidence against a broad range of defences.
• End-game conversion: your daily win against junglejoueur6 showed excellent technique in a rook-and-pawn ending culminating in 41.Bg5#.
• Ratings progress: your current peak is impressive – 2251 (2020-10-14) and 1890 (2018-03-08). Keep building on this momentum!

2. Recurring Themes to Tackle

1. Early king safety in sharp systems
   • In the 60-second Pirc loss to kaspemi, castling was delayed while you advanced the f-pawn; your king was soon trapped by 26…Rd1+.
   • Guideline: if you choose the Pirc, prioritise rapid development & safety (…g6, …Bg7, …0-0) before launching …f5 breaks.
2. Over-pushing flank pawns
   • Several King’s Indian-type defeats featured …h6/…h5 ideas that weakened dark squares (e.g. vs saintvallier).
   • Work on recognising when a pawn push truly supports an attack versus when it creates fresh targets.
3. Tactical alertness under time pressure
   • In bullet you missed 53.Qc7# (diagram below) even though material was roughly equal.
   
   
   
   • Recommendation: incorporate 5-minute puzzle rush sessions before playing bullet to warm-up your tactical vision.

4. Time-Management Checklist

• Openings: use pre-move only for book moves you know 100 %.
• Mid-game: when the clock shows < 1:00, pledge to spend at least one full second on any move that gives or receives check.
• End-games: remember incremental time is your ally; keep the moves simple, avoid fancy tactics when ahead.

5. Suggested Micro-Drills

• Daily: 15 tactic problems < 3 min each.
• 3 x per week: play a 10 + 5 rapid game, annotate, then compare with engine.
• Weekend: review your highest-error game of the week; store critical positions in a “blunder file”.
