Coach Chesswick
Hi riro213! 👋 Here’s your personalised training report
✨ What’s already working
- Active piece play. Against glare2396 and babasco you seized the centre early and developed smoothly. 10.Nd5 and 12.Nxc7+ (forking king & rook) show you can spot tactics when your pieces are coordinated.
- Converting advantages. The a-pawn race you won versus Babasco is a good example of patiently pushing a passed pawn all the way.
- Opening variety. You’re comfortable in both 1.d4 and 1.e4 positions, giving you flexibility when opponents aim for pet-lines.
🚧 Recurring issues to fix
- Early-queen adventures.
In the losses to giorgsik (Qh5, Qxc5) and maymxy (Qxa8) your queen stepped out before you had castled. The result was tempo loss & exposed king. Follow the classical order: develop → castle → coordinate rooks → then consider queen raids. - Loose pieces & missed threats.
• D11 loss: 15…Ne2+ forked king and rook.
• Dragon loss: 22…Rxg4+ exploited a pinned pawn and loose rook.
Build the habit of a 5-second “Checks-Captures-Threats” scan on every move. - Over-extension of pawns.
g4 / f4 pawn storms left dark-square holes that your opponents invaded. Push pawns only when the pieces behind them are ready to occupy the new files. - Clock pressure in bullet/60-sec pool.
Several wins became losses on time. When ahead, simplify the position, premove obvious recaptures, and keep pieces coordinated so you can play faster.
🎯 One-week action plan
| ⚔️ Solve 10 puzzles per day focused on forks & double attacks. |
| đź“‘ Play three 10 | 0 games. Review without engine and write down one better move you missed in each game. |
| 📚 Build a mini-repertoire in the London / Zukertort up to move 8 so surprises like …Bb4+ are met confidently. |
| 🛡️ Apply “Is anything hanging after my move?” before clicking—save yourself 2-3 blunders per session. |

🔍 Position to replay
In the Dragon loss the game continued 24…h5? but White could punish Black immediately. Test yourself from the diagram below—can you find the strongest continuation?
đź‘Ť Final tip
You already demonstrate strong attacking instincts. Temper them with consistent blunder checks and earlier king safety, and your rating will climb quickly. Keep enjoying the journey—good luck in your next games!
