Hi Vizcensocasanova_7-9! 👋

You play lively, fighting chess and clearly enjoy quick attacks. That enthusiasm is a great asset – let’s channel it with stronger fundamentals so you can convert more games from “promising” to “winning”.

✅ What’s already working

• Initiative-seeking mindset. You rarely play passive moves and often seize space with pawn storms (g-pawn pushes in several wins).
• Tactical flashes. Your wins often feature forks, skewers or mating nets (e.g. 24.Rxc8# vs Stockfishmode10). Keep that creativity!
• Clock control. You normally stay ahead or equal on time, which is vital in 10 | 0 games.

🚧 Key areas to improve

• Early-queen syndrome. In eight of the ten supplied games your queen came out before move 5 (2…Qf6, 2.Qf3, 2.Qh5, etc.). It often became a target (see your loss to Goek1124: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Qf6? and resignation on move 3). Delay the queen until minor pieces are developed.
• King safety & castling. Several losses show your king stuck in the centre (e.g. 25.c5+ vs mohzz95). Aim to castle by move 8-10 in every game unless there is a concrete reason not to.
• Basic opening principles. Knights before bishops, control the centre, and coordinate pieces. Random knight jumps (…Na6-b4) or premature pawn thrusts (5.d5? vs luis-omj) cost you time and structure.
• Finishing the attack. Good positions sometimes fizzle because you exchange your attacking pieces or miss a quiet improving move. Sharpen calculation with daily tactics and short “blunder check” before each move.

🗺️ Opening guide (simple, solid lines)

Try the following repertoire for a month – the ideas are easy, and you’ll learn transferable themes:

• As White: Italian Game
  
  
  You still get chances to attack on the kingside, but with sound development.
• As Black vs 1.e4: “Two Knights” set-up
  
  (or 3.Nf3 Nf6). No more 2…Qf6; the knight hits e4 and you castle quickly.
• Against early queen moves (Napoleon Attack):
  
  – simple development, punish the queen without chasing it recklessly.

🔍 Critical moment spotlight

mohzz95 – Vizcensocasanova_7-9 (loss)
2…Qf6 placed your queen on a square that blocked your g-pawn and discouraged …Nf6. After 8…Qe6 the queen had moved four times while your kingside pieces were still on the back rank. Instead:

– equal, solid, and you’re ready to castle.

🎯 Training plan

1. Daily 15-minute tactics at your current puzzle rating. Focus on motifs like the fork, pin and back-rank mate.
2. Once a week, play one 15 | 10 rapid game and self-annotate immediately. Mark: (a) last book move, (b) biggest mistake, (c) best move you found.
3. End each session with a mini-endgame drill: king & pawn vs king; basic rook mates, etc. These endings often decide 600-level games.

👍 Next steps

• Play 30 games with the new openings before switching again.
• Before every move, ask: “What are the checks, captures, threats for BOTH sides?” – this five-second habit will cut blunders dramatically.
• Celebrate improvements, not just rating jumps. Even a loss can be a success if you followed opening principles and reached a playable middlegame.

Enjoy the journey, keep the pieces active, and I’ll see you above 800 soon. Good luck! 🎉
