You've shown a strong and dynamic playing style in your recent games, demonstrating a good grasp of openings like the Englund Gambit, Caro-Kann Defense, and the Trompowsky Attack. Your results affirm that you are capable of pressing opponents and converting advantages with precise play.
Strengths
- Opening Preparation: Your handling of less common and complex lines like the Englund Gambit and the Trompowsky Attack shows excellent preparation and courage to take opponents out of book early.

- Active Piece Play: Your games illustrate good tactical awareness and timely piece activity, often creating direct threats that force opponents into difficult decisions.
Areas for Improvement
- Handling Pressure in Critical Positions: In some losses, particularly against solid opponents, small inaccuracies in the middlegame allowed your opponents counterplay. Working on deep calculation and pause for critical moments could reduce these errors.
