Hi shahyns – personalised feedback from your recent games
- Opening trends
- You score well with the Sicilian as Black, especially lines with 2…Nc6 followed by …e6 and an early …d5 (see your win against Ekomajstor). Your willingness to open the centre once development is complete is a clear strength.
- Your White repertoire looks less stable. In the Panov-Caro-Kann versus hafski the moves 6.Bc4?! 7.Qf3?! allowed the tactical shot …Nxd4 and the follow-up …Bb4+. Switching to main-line Panov ideas (0-0-0, Bd3, Rhe1) or studying the critical motifs will avoid these surprises.
- Against the Modern/Pterodactyl you achieved a smooth win; note how quick central occupation (e4-d4) + rapid development gave you lasting pressure. Try to apply that same disciplined development in every opening.
- Tactics & calculation
- Your victories often come from spotting intermediate blows – e.g. 22…Rxe3!! and 35…Re2 in the Ekomajstor game. Keep sharpening this with a daily dose of Puzzle Rush or rated puzzles.
- Conversely, in the Caro-Kann loss the motif …Nxd4! exploited an overloaded queen. Practise themes such as overloaded defenders and double attacks.
- Critical moment to review (you resigned two moves later):
- Endgame conversion
- The rookie-pawn ending against Ekomajstor eventually succeeded, but took 80+ moves. Reviewing Lucena, Philidor and basic mating nets will help you finish sooner and save clock time.
- In several losses you resigned in positions that still had practical chances (e.g. opposite-coloured bishops). Before resigning, ask “What swindle or stalemate idea still exists?”
- Time management
- Three recent games ended on the clock (both wins and losses). Aim never to let your clock dip below your move number in seconds in 1-min games, or under half your starting time in 10-min games.
- When material up, trade pieces instead of hunting extra pawns; it shortens the game and reduces time pressure.
- Two-week training plan
- Openings: build a 10-move “flash-card” file for White versus Caro-Kann & French; review before playing.
- Tactics: 30 puzzles/day, focus tags “Double Attack”, “Overloaded Defender”, “Zwischenzug”.
- Endgames: study one rook-ending chapter/video every second day, then win the position vs an engine set to 1800.
- Practical play: two 15 | 10 games per week, with self-annotation before engine check.
Motivation boost: Your current peaks are 1963 (2023-12-14) and 2427 (2023-12-14). You are already beating 1800-1900 opponents regularly; plugging the few leaks above can push you past 2000 soon!
Good luck with your training – feel free to ask for deeper analysis of any specific game.
