Great job on your recent games! Your aggressive and active playstyle is helping you capitalize on opponent mistakes and create winning chances. Here are some specific observations and suggestions to help you continue improving:

Strengths:

• Opening knowledge: You frequently open with 1.e4 and handle common responses well, including Nimzowitsch Defense and Vienna Game lines. Your understanding of thematic moves and development is solid.
• Tactical awareness: Several of your wins came from sharp tactical play and quick mates, showing good pattern recognition and alertness to opportunities.
• Endgame technique: You managed to convert complex endgames into wins by promoting pawns or coordinating your pieces effectively, such as in the game against HakonArason.

Areas for Improvement:

• Pawn Structure & Position Evaluation: In some games, early pawn advances like 3.d5 after 1.e4 d6 and 2.d4 Nf6 (Pirc Defense) led to structural weaknesses or allowed White to seize space. Try to balance space gains with ensuring your king safety and piece coordination.
• Handling Exchanges: There are moments where exchanges, for example queen trades or minor pieces early on (e.g., during the Nimzowitsch Defense lines), could be evaluated deeper to retain pressure rather than simplifying too soon.
• Time Management: You are generally comfortable with the 10-minute format, but make sure you use all your time wisely, especially in middle and endgames. Staying calm and analyzing critical positions carefully will help avoid missing tactical shots from opponents.

Suggestions:

• Review your recent losses, especially games against stronger players, to identify recurring tactical or positional mistakes. For example, the Pirc Defense game versus SimonAJC shows a sharp attack by your opponent—try to study defensive techniques in similar positions.
• Continue practicing common opening lines you play often, but start incorporating alternative approaches to increase flexibility and avoid being predictable.
• Focus on fundamental endgame studies to improve your technique when converting advantages. Simple king and pawn endgames, Lucena, and basic rook endgames are excellent starting points.

Here is a recent notable victory showing your strong attacking play and ability to deliver checkmate: Game vs HakonArason.

You're progressing well, and with consistent practice and study, you will continue to climb your rating and strengthen your overall play. Keep analyzing thoughtfully and enjoying the game!
