Hi Sajalby!
Great job keeping an active schedule and already notching several convincing wins. Below is some personalized feedback based on your most recent games.
What you’re doing well
- Quick Development & Early Castling – In many wins (e.g. your Italian on 05 Jun) you reached safety by move 6 and immediately pressured the centre with …d5/ d4 breaks.
- Tactical Awareness when Ahead – Once you are up material you often convert cleanly (19.Rxe8# is a nice miniature!).
- Practical Endgame Technique – The long king-and-pawn grind you won as Black on 05 Jun shows you can stay focused in simplified positions.
Key improvement themes
1. Opening hygiene – avoid “piece drops” in move 5-10
Two recent losses came from overlooking basic tactics:
- 05 Jun vs jotaelechess123 – after 6…Nxe4 you launched Ng5, but missed …Nxf2! winning material.
- 04 Jun vs Rafa_324 – an early g-pawn push left your king on e8 stuck; 26.Rd8# soon followed.
Action items:
- For White, stick to one e-pawn opening (e.g. Italian or Scotch) and learn the first 8-10 moves by heart, including typical traps against you.
- As Black, meet 1.e4 with either the Double King-Pawn (…e5) or a single Sicilian line, but review the Fried Liver/Scotch tactical themes so …Nxe4 tricks don’t back-fire.
2. Tactical calculation drills
Your rating range (600-700) is decided mostly by one-move tactics. Spend 10-15 minutes daily on mate-in-2 and “winning a piece” puzzles. Aim for 80 %+ accuracy before jumping into games.
3. King safety & pawn storms
Moves like …g5/h5 (loss on 05 Jun) or g-pawn pushes while your king is still in the centre routinely backfire. Follow this checklist:
- Am I castled?
- Are all my minor pieces developed?
- Is the centre closed?
Only then consider a wing pawn advance.
4. Endgame confidence
You handled the queen-vs-pawns ending admirably in your 74-move win. Keep building this strength:
- Review basic king & pawn endings (opposition, outside passed pawn).
- Practise queen-vs-pawn on the 7th rank; knowing the drawing tricks will also help you when defending.

Your progress at a glance
90-day action plan
- Finish a short course or book chapter on the Italian Game & Two Knights Defence.
- Solve 20 tactics every day for two weeks; afterwards maintain a streak of 10/day.
- Play three 15 + 10 games per session, analyse immediately, and write down one takeaway from each game.
- Spar a weekly “pawn game” (only kings & pawns) with a friend or engine to sharpen endgame skill.
Keep up the enthusiasm, and your next milestone (800+) will come sooner than you think. Good luck, and happy checkmating!
