What you are doing well

• Diverse opening repertoire. In the last session you handled the French, Caro-Kann, Sicilian and several Queen’s-Pawn structures with confidence. This makes you hard to prepare for.
• Dynamic piece play. Against cyber87547 you steered the French into an unbalanced middlegame and converted with energetic moves such as 24.Ne4–Nf6+ followed by the nice exchange sacrifice 37.Rxe1.
• Tactical alertness. Wins vs. LeoLV10 (30.Qxg7#) and DobbyTheElfHouse (35...a1=Q+) show that you spot mating nets and long tactical sequences when the clock is still healthy.

Recurring improvement themes

1. Time-management in long conversions.
   Four of your last seven losses were on time in objectively drawn or winning endings.
   • vs. WhoCanItBeNowA: R+rook vs. R, 16 seconds left yet no pre-moves.
   • vs. atbenina64: Completely winning rook-pawn ending but repeated moves with <2 sec.
   Recommendation: Adopt a simple “KTHM” rule: once evaluation >+5, burn ≤10 s per move, push pawns, force exchanges. Practise bullet rook & pawn endings to automate the technique.
2. Over-optimistic pawn storms without king safety.
   In the loss vs. karlstad82 you advanced f- and h-pawns early (5.f4, 8.Ng5) without completing development and were punished by …Nc4–fxe5–Bh6.
   Drill: During openings ask “How many pieces do I have developed compared to my opponent?” before launching a pawn break.
3. Handling opposite-side castling positions.
   Several games reach razor-sharp races (e.g. Caro-Kann 9.O-O-O vs. …a5-b5). You often get the initiative but occasionally misjudge defensive needs.
   • In your last loss, after 19.Ra8+ you missed the simple 22.Rc8! followed by 24.b6, allowing Black counterplay.
   Training idea: Annotate one attacking game per day from players like shirov. Note when they pause to create luft or exchange attackers.
4. Transitioning from advantage to conversion.
   You tend to keep pieces on when a clean technical line exists. Example: vs. Rsnr, instead of 21...g6 you had 21...Nxd5 22.Qxd5 Qxd5 23.Nf6+ winning a pawn and simplifying.
   Checklist: When ahead material, look for (a) forced trades into won endings, (b) restricting counterplay before new attacks.

Next week’s training menu

• 3 × 15-minute calculation exercises from “Pump up your Rating”. Focus on candidate move enumeration.
• Daily 10-minute endgame drill: rook + 2 pawns vs. rook. Aim for 30 clean conversions without flagging.
• Play two blindfold (no pieces) games vs. engine level 4 to cement board vision and save clock time.
