Hi ruste7 – here is your personalised feedback
What you are already doing well
- Consistent repertoire. As Black you trust the Caro-Kann, and it brings you good Daily results (see the three latest wins).
- Tactical eye. 28…Ne5+ against lizalizalllcd and 29…Nb4+ in your blitz win versus vacho1960 show you spot forks and zwischenzugs when the position becomes sharp.
- Fighting spirit. Several wins came from slightly worse middlegames that you turned in your favour in rook or pawn endings.
Biggest improvement targets
- Time management in Live games
Two of your last five losses were on the clock. Play 5 + 5 or 10 + 5 temporarily and aim for an average > 10 s per move on the graph. - Smoother development out of the opening
In the loss to Muradmm242 you spent four moves with one bishop (…Bg4-f3-e2-e3) and fell behind. Re-focus on the principles develop, castle, fight for the centre, especially in side-lines such as 2.f4 versus the Caro-Kann. - End-game technique
You converted the rook ending vs Arab1999 but let the one vs Muradmm242 slip after 40…dxc4?. Refresh the Philidor, Lucena and basic king-and-pawn positions.
Opening goals for the next month
| Colour | Work on … | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Black | Main-line Caro-Kann (4…Bf5 and 4…Nd7) | You already like the structure – deeper knowledge will give you “free” middlegames. |
| White | A solid 1.e4 system (Italian or Scotch) - or switch to 1.d4 & Queen’s Gambit | Your current Center-Game/Wing-gambit ideas often leave you under-developed or down material. |
