Hi Perry4ka – personalised feedback from your coach

What you are already doing well

• Tactical alertness: you often find forcing sequences. A nice example is the finish against asilbeksokhib:
  You coordinated rook + knight perfectly and kept the king boxed in.
• Converting extra material: when you are up a pawn or more you generally simplify and avoid tricks – good practical play for this rating range.
• Clock handling: most games end with you having several minutes left, so you are not blundering because of time trouble.

Main themes to work on next

1. King safety in the opening
   Several losses start with pawn moves like …f6 / …g6 / …g5 in the Scandinavian before you finish development. In the game against eloeloballada your king was still in the centre and the f- & g-pawns created huge holes:
   • Stick to classical developing moves (…Nf6, …e6, …c6, castle) before pawn storms.
   • Count how many pieces are still on their original squares before pushing wing pawns.
2. Sound opening choices
   You sometimes play off-beat systems (e.g. 2…Bc5 in the French, 2…f6 in the Scandinavian). These surprise opponents, but also lead to positions where one inaccuracy equals checkmate. I recommend:
   • With Black after 1.e4, play the regular Scandinavian: 1…d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 3.Nc3 Qa5 followed by …Nf6, …c6, …Bf5.
   • If you like French structures, learn the simple French Defence – Rubinstein (…d5, …Nf6, …Be7, castle).
   • With White, keep using e4 but cut down on very early flank pawn moves (a4, h3) unless they serve a clear purpose.
   Studying 6–8 model games for each opening will give you a reliable move-order and typical plans.
3. Tactics vs. Tactics defence
   Your attacking ideas are good, but spotting your opponent’s tactical resources still costs points. Set yourself a daily puzzle target (10–15 puzzles, 80 % accuracy) focusing on defensive themes: zwischenzug, over-loaded pieces, back-rank tactics.

Action plan for the next 2 weeks

• Play three rapid games (10 + 5 or longer) per day, analyse immediately while the ideas are fresh.
• During analysis, always ask: “Was my king 100 % safe?” If not, note the faulty move in a notebook.
• Finish one short opening video or article per day on the lines recommended above.
• Tactics: 15 puzzles on Chess.com’s trainer focusing on “defensive” mode.
• Endgames: practise the basic rook‐and-pawn vs. rook technique for 15 minutes every second day.

Last words

You clearly have the tactical flair to reach > 900 rapid quickly. Combine it with safer opening structures and disciplined king safety, and the rating curve will take care of itself. Keep enjoying the game and message me any time you’d like to review a specific position!
