Coaching Feedback for Nandhidhaa PV

Hi Nandhidhaa, I've reviewed your recent games and I'd like to share some constructive feedback to help you improve further in your chess journey.

Strengths:

  • Opening Preparation: You consistently choose solid opening systems like the Modern Defense, King's Indian setups, and Italian Game lines, showing a good understanding of opening principles and plans.
  • Attacking Play: Your games often feature active piece play and attempts to launch attacks, especially in middlegames. This is an excellent attribute for creating winning chances.
  • Endgame Technique: From your wins, it’s clear you can convert advantages in the endgame effectively, showing patience and accurate calculation.

Areas to Focus On:

  • Tactical Awareness: In some losses, like against BlankaEjs, you fell victim to decisive tactical shots that led to checkmate. Increasing tactical training will help you spot threats earlier and avoid common tactical pitfalls.
  • Defensive Techniques: When under pressure, it’s important to maintain composure and prioritize defending key squares and pieces. Work on defensive calculation exercises to improve your resilience in complex positions.
  • Calculation Depth: There were a few moments where alternatives or deeper calculation could have saved or improved your position—for example, in transitions after exchanges in the middlegame.

Suggestions for Improvement:

  1. Regularly solve tactical puzzles to sharpen pattern recognition and calculation speed.
  2. Review your losses in detail focusing on where your opponent's threats began and how you can anticipate them earlier.
  3. Practice defensive studies and learn common defensive motifs, such as blockades, counter-attacks, or piece exchanges to simplify when under attack.
  4. Analyze critical moments from your games—especially the opening transitions and key exchanges—to understand the imbalances and improve decision-making.
  5. Maintain steady time management so that you have sufficient time in complex positions to calculate accurately.

Overall, your chess understanding is strong and you demonstrate a fighting spirit in your games. With focused work on tactics and defensive skills, combined with your existing solid foundations, you will continue to improve and reach new milestones.

Keep practicing and enjoy the journey!
