Hi SkilmirF! 🎯 Personalized Post-Game Feedback

Great job keeping your Blitz rating near 2706 (2025-02-25) and scoring convincing wins such as your recent attacking victory against franpalaciosll. Below is a concise review of your current strengths, growth areas, and a practical plan you can follow over the next two weeks.

1. Your Emerging Strengths

• Dynamic opening choices. You switch comfortably between 1.e4 and 1.d4 setups, showing good knowledge of the Alapin Sicilian, the Modern, and several English/Indian hybrids.
• Active piece play. In your win versus FranPalaciosLL you seized the initiative with 21.hxg5 hxg5 22.f4!, creating constant threats until Black collapsed.
• Killer instinct with the initiative. Games against heroman97 and UstadJrr show you’re comfortable converting dynamic edges into tactical finishes.
• Quick tactical vision. Motifs such as Nd7–Nb6–Nd7 (game vs newchesscorner64) highlight repeated use of forks and overloaded pieces.

2. Main Improvement Targets

• Early pawn advances that soften your own position.
  • Loss vs liulimeng — 9…b5 & 11…c5 left weak dark squares. 13…Ne4?! 15…e5? accelerated your collapse.
  • Study the concept of pawn chains and light-/dark-square strategy (see outposts, weakness).
• Transition from middlegame to endgame.
  • Against burbur555 you were still equal on move 30 but drifted into a lost B-vs-bishop ending.
  • Spend 15 minutes daily on basic rook & minor-piece endings (Opposite bishops, Lucena/Philidor).
• Time-management under pressure.
  • You ran under 40 seconds as early as move 18 vs ChicagoblitzerTim and never recovered.
  • Adopt a “30-second rule”: bank at least 0 : 30 on your clock before move 20 by trusting preparation and avoiding double-checking obvious moves.
• Concrete calculation before pawn breaks.
  • In the loss below, the thematic strike 15…e5? opened lines for White. Spend extra ply verifying such pawn breaks.
  
  
  

3. Micro-Study Plan (Next 14 Days)

1. Warm-up (5 min / session) — flash-card tactics, focusing on defensive motifs (block, interpose, perpetual).
2. Opening clinic (10 min) — choose one Black system vs. 1.d4 (recommend the ...d5 → ...e6 → ...c5 Triangle) and build a 15-move memory line.
3. Middlegame review (15 min)
   • Re-watch two of your own games with the engine OFF until move 20, write one sentence on each critical pawn push.
   • Compare afterward with engine suggestions, noting only the first “big miss.”
4. Endgame drill (10 min) — play engine vs. you from R + 4 P vs R + 4 P with pawns on the same side until conversion is smooth.
