You take good advantage of your opponents mistakes and good control of the center of the board on both games. However, the second game I think you left too many weaknesses on around your king and your opponent began putting a lot of pressure. I'm sure you can get to 1600, better than my chances lol.
Please help me find my weaknesses and strengths
Sort:
Hey, I'm trying to find out what my worst weaknesses and best strengths are... but I really have no clue how to decide, because I make some real bad mistakes (both tactical/strategical and sometimes even blundering piece like a 500 rated player) against low level, but then I play "better" against even stronger opponents. I will post two games so you can see what my playstyle is and then help if you wish. I'll give my best game (This account is new btw) against a very higher rated opponent, and then my worst game against a lower rated opponent. Then again, "higher" and "lower" level is very subjective since I've just played a few games. I'll also give my opinion of both games.
First one is a win against a much higher-rated player (consider that I am surely not a 1500+ player here, anyway). This is a 15|10 min game so I had time to focus more.
This game was good in my opinion. I focused a lot and tried to do my best, though I've played too fast in some parts of it. However, I think that on this game I blundered in subtle ways (usually, if I blunder I just blunder like a beginner). I am sure that if my opponent wouldn't have blundered his Rook, he's most likely win considering his higher advantage. So it's not that I played better than my opponent, it's that he blundered a piece randomly...
Second game is my worst lose against a lower rated player. I played this one 10 minutes, focused a little less but you get the point anyway. Here I blundered totally, and I played very bad.
Well, this second game describes itself. I blundered pieces like a complete beginner, played positionally badly and defended badly.
So considering those games, and if you want you can check my other ones (they're not a lot anyway), could you help me find my strengths and weaknesses so I know what I have to work on? I'm aiming for the 1600, but I can't do that with the bad errors I do in my games right now.
I thank you a lot!
