Whether it's the sturdy Philidor Defense or the bold Indian Game, their opening repertoire suggests a versatile genome of chess knowledge, ready to evolve based on the foe's weaknesses.

Their psychological evolution, however, reveals a slight "tilt factor" of 7, reminding us even the best have their off-cycles.

Opponents beware: this player's tactical awareness is as sharp as a molecular enzyme, boasting a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece, and an early resignation rate of only 4%, showing a tenacity that would make the toughest mitochondria proud.

Feedback for szkahanov

You've been showing solid understanding and tactical awareness in your recent games. Here are some specific points to help you improve even further:

  • Opening consistency: You often choose solid openings like the Scandinavian Defense and Caro-Kann, which suit your style well. Continue studying key plans and themes in these openings to gain an edge early in the game.
  • Transition to the middlegame: Your piece coordination after the opening stage is good, especially looking at your recent win where you managed to generate strong pressure. Remember to watch for opportunities to improve piece activity and control key squares as the position opens.
  • Tactical vigilance: Your wins show sharp tactical play, especially recognizing and executing checkmates or winning material combinations. Keep training tactics regularly to maintain and sharpen this strength.
  • Time management: You generally maintain good time control, which helps avoid panic decisions. To improve, try to allocate more time strategically — spend extra time in critical positions and simplify your thought process in less complex moments.
  • Defensive resilience: Some losses involved sharp attacks from your opponents, often opening diagonals or lines against your king. Focus on king safety and recognizing opponent threats early, so you can neutralize attacks or trade off dangerous pieces.
  • Endgame technique: Your games indicate room for growth in converting advantages in the endgame. Studying fundamental endgames (king and pawn, rook endgames) will build confidence and help you squeeze out more wins.

Overall, you are on a good path. Keep analyzing your games, focusing on both your triumphs and setbacks. Try to identify patterns in your losses — are there recurring mistakes or positions that challenge you more?

Keep up the effort and enjoy your progress on the board!
