Overall Progress

RonBison, your recent games and rating performance show encouraging growth. Your rating has increased by 92 points over the past month, and the consistent positive trend slope indicates steady improvement over 1, 3, 6, and 12 months.

Your strength adjusted win rate sits slightly above 50%, which is a solid foundation for rapid improvement.

Game Highlights and Constructive Feedback

  • Opening Play: You have experience with Modern Defense, Vienna Game, Caro-Kann, and Alapin Sicilian. Good job in familiarizing yourself with these openings, as evidenced by your competent handling leading to wins by checkmate and resignation.
  • Endgame Technique: Several wins were achieved by converting material advantage into checkmate, and you effectively used tactics to induce resignations or time wins. This shows good tactical awareness in critical phases.
  • Areas to Improve:
    • In the losing games, some challenges appeared in complex middle game positions, especially against aggressive opponents. Focusing on improving calculation accuracy and defense in these situations will help.
    • Managing time consistently is important — some games were won on time but actual board play can be sharpened to increase decisive outcomes beyond time pressure.
    • Watch out for potential weaknesses in pawn structure and king safety after exchange-heavy openings, as some losses occurred following trades where your opponent gained initiative.

Next Steps for Improvement

  • Opening Study: Deepen understanding of your main openings—especially Modern Defense and Caro-Kann—to gain stronger positional grasp and avoid early mistakes.
  • Tactical Training: Regular practice of tactics puzzles will increase your calculation sharpness and combative edge.
  • Endgame Practice: Working on fundamental endgames will help you confidently convert advantages and defend worse positions more resiliently.
  • Game Review: Continue reviewing your games (both wins and losses) to spot recurring patterns and missed opportunities.

Encouragement

You are making meaningful progress with a positive rating trend and a balanced win rate. Keep practicing consistently and stay mindful of the areas outlined. Blitz games are great for sharpening instincts, but also consider longer time controls to deepen your strategic understanding.

Well done on your recent wins! Keep building on this momentum.
