What you’re doing well

You’ve shown strong attacking instincts in recent games. In the latest win, you coordinated queen and rook nicely to create a mating net on the kingside, ending the game decisively. Your openings data also highlights several reliable paths where you seize the initiative and pressure your opponent early, especially when you play the Barnes Defense and the Amazon Attack. That suggests you understand how to convert early activity into tangible advantages and push for concrete plans rather than lingering in uncertain middlegame positions.

• Excellent tactical awareness in attack-heavy lines; you look for forcing moves and opportunities to check or trap the opponent’s king.
• Strong results with a compact, aggressive repertoire (notably Barnes Defense and Amazon Attack); you’re comfortable transforming initiative into concrete gains.
• Endgame resilience and continuation: you finish games when you have the edge and convert chances into wins.

Key areas to sharpen

• Broaden and consolidate your opening repertoire. The openings you’re winning with are great anchors, but other lines show mixed results. Build familiarity with a few additional solid setups so you’re not surprised by common responses and can steer middlegames toward your strengths.
• Strengthen prophylaxis and king safety. Some losses arise from allowing quick tactical swings or back-rank threats. Practice pattern-recognition puzzles that focus on preventing opponent attacks and recognizing when to trade to relieve pressure.
• Endgame technique and conversion. While you convert well in many games, a few where the position simplifies can still become tricky. Drill rook endings and pawn endgames, focusing on keeping kings active and using passed pawns to create winning chances.
• Time management and decision quality in sharp positions. In fast games, a few moments saved here and there can make the difference. Develop a simple two-ply check for critical positions to avoid over-committing to long lines without verification.

Targeted plan for the next month

• Deepen your core repertoire with Barnes Defense and Amazon Attack: study 2-3 representative lines for each, plus typical middlegame plans that follow them.
• Daily tactical training (15–20 minutes) focused on mating nets, back-rank motifs, and common tactical themes you’ve faced in recent games.
• Regular endgame practice (2 sessions per week): focus on rook endings and pawn endgames, including practical conversion techniques and opposition concepts.
• Review the last 5–7 games with a critical eye: identify recurring mistakes or patterns (blunders, missed prophylaxis, or imprecise trades) and test concrete improvements in practice games.
• Set a simple time-management rule for bullet/rapid: after developing your plan, give yourself a fixed time to confirm the critical line before continuing.

Opening performance snapshot

Your openings show clear strengths and some room for growth. Strong performers include Barnes Defense and Amazon Attack, both with high win rates in your sample. The more exploratory lines like Nimzo-Larsen Attack and Czech Defense are workable but need more study to improve consistency. Consider making Barnes Defense and Amazon Attack your primary go-to choices, and add one or two well-understood counterplans for the less-familiar openings to keep opponents guessing.

• Barnes Defense: solid, active, good for generating counterplay when you’re under pressure.
• Amazon Attack: dynamic and aggressive; great for maximizing initiative.
• Modern Defense and other less-tested lines: invest only after you’ve built comfortable, repeatable plans and know how to handle common middlegame motifs.
