Feedback for Svetlana Vifleemskaia
Great job on your recent games! Your play shows strong understanding and good tactical awareness. Here are a few constructive points to help you improve further:
Strengths
- Opening Preparation: You choose sound and solid openings, often developing your pieces harmoniously.
- Attacking Play: Your recent wins show good initiative and aggressive play, especially in tactical positions.
- Endgame Technique: You demonstrate precise calculation and transition smoothly into winning endgames.
Areas to Improve
- Time Management: Several games ended with wins on time, but managing your clock better will give you more confidence to think through critical moments—try to keep enough time for complex middle game decisions.
- Positional Patience: Sometimes pushing too quickly for attacks can allow opponents to seize counterplay. Focus on strengthening your positional evaluation before launching aggressive moves.
- Tactical Awareness in Defensive Situations: In some losses, opponents capitalized on tactical nuances. Regular tactical training can sharpen your spotting of threats and counter-threats.
Suggestions
- Review your recent losses carefully to identify recurring patterns in mistakes or missed opportunities.
- Continue practicing Chess960 to enhance your adaptability in unfamiliar opening setups, which is a great skill.
- Work on endgame fundamentals and familiarize yourself with key theoretical positions to convert advantages more smoothly.
- Use time management techniques to optimize your use of the clock during games.
Keep up the good work, Svetlana! With continued study and practice, your chess performance will keep improving.
