Hi stre_sebt!
You have an attractive, fighting style that keeps your opponents under constant pressure. Let’s build on those strengths while fixing a few recurring problems I saw in your last dozen rapid games.
What you already do well
- Sharp opening choices. Your French-Tarrasch (as White) and Kan / Modern (as Black) consistently give you dynamic positions.
- Tactical alertness. Ideas such as 6.Nxf7 in the Fried-Liver and 20…Ng4+ in your Kan win show good pattern recognition.
- Practical mentality. You are willing to steer the game into messy territory when the clock is low—often the right decision in 15 + 5.
3 highest-impact fixes
-
Modern / King’s Indian structure: handle the e4–d5 break.
Both recent losses with 1…g6 (vs archess2 & sbajj) featured the same story:- x White grabbed space with e4–d5.
- x Your knights were pushed back and you tried the pawn storm …h5/…g5 too early.
-
Critical rook endings.
In the loss to archess2 you reached the diagram below up a pawn but couldn’t stop the passer: 55.Rxd4+ cxd4 56.h7.
Practice: 30 minutes a week on basic rook-and-pawn technique (Lucena, Philidor, Vancura). That single skill will convert several draws/losses into wins. -
Time management.
You often drop under 60 s around move 25 while still in a complicated middlegame (e.g. vs GainfulDot, you had 1 min vs 5 min before the tactical collapse at 22…Bxe4).
Rule of thumb: try to keep ≥ 40 % of your starting time in reserve when queens leave the board. If you’re below that, simplify or speed up.
Opening-specific notes
- Kan / Taimanov: after 6.a4 b4 7.Na2 you played the model …Bb7 …Nf6 …Nc6 …d5—excellent! Revisit the line 10.Nb3 d5 11.e5 Ne4 in the master database; Black often prefers 11…Nd7 first.
- Sveshnikov: in the loss to GainfulDot the natural 18…Bb7 allowed 19.c5! opening lines against your king. The main line is 18…Be6 (covering c4) or 18…f5.
- French-Tarrasch: your move-order (3.Nd2 c5 4.exd5 exd5 5.Ngf3) is fine. Consider 11.dxc5! instead of 11.Ndf3 to get the extra pawn with tempo.
