Chess Improvement Feedback for Leancy Beatriz Fernandez Bustamante

Strengths

• Attacking Play: Your recent wins showcase strong attacking instincts, particularly your ability to deliver checkmate combinations. Moves like 24. Qg7# and 35. Qxf7# demonstrate good awareness of tactical opportunities.
• Opening Fundamentals: You have a solid grasp on classical openings such as the English Opening, Sicilian Defense, and Caro-Kann. You often develop pieces harmoniously and castle early to safeguard your king.
• Piece Activity: You tend to maximize piece activity well, especially knights and bishops, putting pressure on your opponent’s weaknesses and central squares effectively.

Areas for Improvement

• Time Management: Several losses show you losing on time or with very low clock values remaining. Managing your clock better, especially in critical middle and endgame positions, will help convert your advantages and avoid time pressure mistakes.
• Endgame Technique: Some games end with difficult or close endgames where losing was often by time or passive play. Studying basic endgames and practicing simple winning and drawing techniques will give you greater confidence to convert your advantage or hold difficult positions.
• Transitions and Defense: In a few losses, such as against ShakyBrorzChess and emilka2005, defensive moves could be improved. Try to maintain tension and be cautious of pawn structure weaknesses or allowing your opponent’s pieces to infiltrate. Improving your understanding of defensive concepts like prophylaxis and counterplay will help.
• Opening Repertoire Depth: While your choice of openings is good, deepening your theoretical knowledge in key lines and typical plans will reduce inaccuracies and allow you to seize early advantages with more confidence.

Next Steps

1. Practice tactical puzzles daily to sharpen calculation and pattern recognition, focusing especially on mating nets and tactical motifs.
2. Review your lost games to identify where the clock pressure caused mistakes and work on playing a bit faster in standard positions.
3. Study fundamental endgames (king + pawn, rook endings) to improve technique.
4. Choose one opening system (for White and Black) and go deeper into the middlegame plans and typical tactics to strengthen your main repertoire.
