Hi sajinaa! Here’s a personalised training report based on your latest games.

What you’re already doing well

• Fighting spirit – you never hesitate to launch pawn storms (h-pawn, g-pawn, b-pawn) and look for tactics. This courage will be valuable once it is backed up by sound development.
• Activity over material – in several wins you willingly gave pawns to open lines (e.g. 14.Ng5 in your win vs. Goblinshkelet). That shows you value piece activity – keep that instinct!
• Quick intuition – you play very fast. When harnessed, this will give you plenty of time for the critical positions.

Biggest improvement themes

1. Opening discipline
   Your first 5 moves often break several basic principles at once.
   • Example from your recent loss:
   
   White has no pieces developed, the king is still in the centre, and the g-pawn push created holes around f3/h3. Try replacing 2.g4 with 2.Nf3 or 2.Bc4 and feel how much safer the position becomes.
   Drill: For your next 20 games, promise yourself that your first four moves will follow the classical opening principles: (1) control the center, (2) develop minor pieces, (3) castle, (4) connect rooks.
2. King safety
   Many defeats arise simply because the king never leaves the centre. Force yourself to castle by move 10 unless there is a concrete tactical reason not to. Count how many of your losses feature an uncastled king – it’s eye-opening.
3. Avoid early queen adventures
   In both wins and losses your queen comes out on moves 2–4 (Qd3, Qe2, Qa5+, …). Early queen moves invite tempo-gaining attacks from your opponent and stall your own development. In your training games, set a rule: “No queen move before move 8 unless it wins material immediately.”
4. Time management
   Bullet-speed moves in 10 min games cause blunders. Use the clock you are given. A simple habit: before every move, ask “What is my opponent threatening?” – this alone will catch most one-move tactics.

Suggested practice routine

• 10 daily tactics on mate-in-2 and win-material themes – accuracy first, not speed.
• Opening repertoire: play only two setups for a month
  • As White: the Italian (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4).
  • As Black: the Scandinavian vs 1.e4 (1…d5) and Queen’s Gambit Declined vs 1.d4 (1…d5 2.c4 e6).
  Sticking to fixed structures lets you learn typical plans instead of inventing from scratch each game.
• After each game, spend 5 minutes tagging three moves: your best, your worst, and your opponent’s threat you missed. No engine needed at this stage.

Next steps

1. Play 20 games with the opening rules above.
2. Log the number of times you castle before move 10 – aim for at least 80%.
3. Review each game for the three tagged moves.
4. Message me when done; we’ll compare a before/after sample and refine the plan.

Keep up the fighting spirit, add structure to your play, and your rating will climb quickly. Good luck, and enjoy the journey!
