Hi suriya0123!
Great job playing regularly and already hitting 802 (2024-08-19) in the mid-700s. Below is some personalised feedback based on your latest games, plus a simple study plan to reach 900+ quickly.
What you already do well
- Fighting spirit. You rarely give up and often keep looking for tactical chances until the end.
- Piece-winning tactics. In several wins you spotted forks such as 18.Nc7+ (vs jidesigns) or 14.Ne6! (vs yeipipe95) and converted the extra material.
- Time usage. You usually stay ahead on the clock. This is a real asset at your rating.
Main improvement areas
- Opening fundamentals
• Many first moves like 1.e3, 1.d3 or 1.b3 are playable, but they surrender the centre.
• On the Black side you often push g-pawns (…g5, …g6) before finishing development, leaving dark-square holes.
Remedy: play “classical” set-ups for a while to build good habits (see Study Plan). - King safety
Almost every loss shows the same pattern: late castling + open king. Example: 1.d4 d6 2.e4 … 7…g5?! (loss vs defrimrex).
Make it a rule: castle by move 10 unless you have a concrete reason not to. - Blunder checking
You and your opponents still hang pieces. Train yourself to ask “What changed?” after every move. A 5-second scan prevents most drops. - Pawn structure discipline
Early pawn storms (f- and h-pawns) cost you central control and squares. Develop first, attack later.

- Before every move run a quick threat scan: “Checks, Captures, Threats” for both sides.
- Only push wing pawns (a, h, f) when your king is safe and pieces are developed.
- Enjoy experimenting, but anchor your play in the timeless principles of centre, development, king safety first.
Good luck, have fun, and see you at 900 soon!
