What you are doing well
You show real attacking instincts and clear conviction once you get the initiative. Against jakobdiependael, you played very energetically with Black and did not allow the White king any rest. You attacked through the middle, forced the king into the open, and converted your advantage into a solid win. That game is a good model for using exceptional activity when the opponent leaves a king exposed.
Your win against 1300elofide shows the other side of your game: patience. You built a natural passed pawn, kept your king safe and improving, and calmly walked it toward the end in a complicated game. This is a very important skill, because it means you are not only a crisis player, you can also finish a game when the edge is small.
Your strength deeper into the opening, especially in Caro-Kann Defense-style positions, also shows up in these games. You understand when to keep the tension and when to exchange to create a target. The key for you is to use this knowledge even when an opponent tries to surprise you with a very unusual setup.
The biggest area to improve
Your most important lesson is that you usually win because you attack, but you sometimes attack at the wrong time. Look at the loss against nakah_twitch in this session: the opponent calmly does not fight your first wave, you spent a lot of clock time pushing a far kingside plan, and when you did not finish, Black got you with a more flexible hand.
That game is a good warning about king safety. Pushing pawns around the king is only healthy when your own king has a good escape and when those pawns are actually going to break through. If you do not know exactly how to reach the opponent's king, every pawn move in front of your own king just weakens your position and costs time. A simpler, more flexible version of that plan would have saved you a lot of trouble.
You also lost most of your margin on the clock in that game. You won some other games on time, so you know how valuable the clock is. The lesson is not “play faster”, it is “choose a simpler plan earlier”. When your position is not one of the best possible, the best move is often not the most attacking move.
Concrete ideas for the next games
- Before starting a kingside pawn storm, add a little patience: ask yourself, "can the other rook join the attack within two or three moves?". If the answer is no, hold back.
- When you have an extra passed pawn or some technical advantage, that is the moment to exchanges carefully and move your king toward the centre. In your win against 1300elofide you did this beautifully, but in the loss you gave up that skill and kept playing for a rapid mate.
- Work on a "neutral position backup plan". If your first attack does not win the game, the best make is a quiet move that improves the same piece and brings control back to you. That will also save your clock because you will not be guessing three moves in advance.
- Use the periods with a slow position to make instant moves and build your time bank, so that when you do need to calculate, you can think again.
Game to return to
A good practice game to look at again soon is the win against against 1300elofide. Try to recall how you let the a-pawn move up and kept your king comfortable. That is the exact formula to use in a situation where your opponent leaves you little attacking.
