Every month, one honest answer to "am I getting better?"
Meet your AI Coach
Not a score. Not a centipawn. A clear explanation of what happened in your game, and what to do about it.
Your knight on d5 was doing two jobs: blocking the e-file and covering c7. Trading it with 18.Nxe7 gave both up at once, and the rook invaded two moves later. When one piece holds your position together, think twice before trading it.
Down a pawn here, the real mistake was trading rooks. The pawn endgame is lost, but with rooks on the board your active king gives real drawing chances. Keep the pieces that keep you in the game.
You came out of the opening better in all three games this week, then drifted around move 20 when there was no obvious plan. Next time, pick a target before you push pawns. That's what we'll work on.
