Make deep plans, overlook a free pawn lol

Hey I’ve seen some of your videos and I’d like to give some feedback. I’m around 2000 on lichess and I think 1900 on cdc maybe? Anyway, I think overall you have a good understanding of positional play and openings, though you seem to miss some tactics from time to time. I think if you were to improve that you’d really increase your win rate and rating for that matter. Maybe try doing more puzzles? That’s what helps me anyway though everyone learns differently I suppose. I do think using the evaluation after each game is good and I remember you said at one point your coach said not to. I feel like a lot of high rated people have a good feel for deep calculation so they kinda ignore it. But I mean in general it’s good if you’re having trouble seeing stuff sometimes. I use it all the time in fact. It’s kinda rough losing when you have an advantage and miss it like that but it happens to everyone. I wish you well in your future games :)

Hi Justin thanks for the insight and the encouragement! I have focused on tactics much more the last year and I notice it helped quite a bit! But there is further to go for sure. :) I think I will continue that and see what happens. Thanks again! Good luck to you as well. :)
