Hi, could someone take a look at my recent games and tell me what I need to work on? As White, I usually play the London System, and as Black, I go for the Sicilian or King’s Indian against 1.e4. I really struggle against the Italian Game — I get completely wrecked there.

I can usually spot my blunders when I hang pieces, but in games that I lose purely due to positional mistakes, I sometimes feel like a total noob. What should I focus on to improve?

I already know the basic opening principles, and I also do tactics training daily.

It looks like you didn't play for the last 3 months. Now you have played 95 games in the last 8 days.

I think it takes a while to recover to where you were when you stopped playing.

Please post one of the games you lost to positional mistakes.

Now i am not the best player but i think i can help, first i see you are developing your pieces, which is great! But i see some things I think you can fix. 1- blunders 2- putting your king on the queen side. First blunders. Look we all made them so don't be disappointed, I blundered a lot as well. So how do you stop them? Well you need you think about you opponent's move, what I mean is you think ONLY front move to YOUR side not the opponent's side, because it's not dangerous. You can use CCT checks captures threats and then CCTO for you. O is optimise. And lastly you shouldn't put you king on an open file. Bonus tip the saying "to take is a mistake" only take if you have a reason like winning pieces, checkmate and advantage.

You are very weak tactically, and you have to work at it.

And: you should not give a damn about your ELO until you become much stronger as a player.
