Evaluation

Your moves Opponent moves

Found 4 crucial moments (2 blunders, 2 missed opportunitys).

Moment 1 — Blunder MAJOR ↗

Positional

FEN: N1bk2nr/pp1p1pbp/2n1p1p1/1Bp5/4P3/3P1N2/PPP1KPqP/R2Q3R b - - 1 10

You Played: Qh3
Engine Best: Ne5
Eval Swing: -374 cp
Variation: Ne5 Nxe5 Bxe5 c3

CRITICAL: Your move allowed the opponent to immediately capture your Black Knight on c6.

Refutation: Bxc6

Coach Explanation

BLUNDER: You hung your Knight. The opponent can simply take it with Bxc6.

Qh3 is a mistake because it allows the immediate loss of a piece. Ne5 is superior because it improves your position and threatens the bishop. The engine line after Ne5 is Ne5 Nxe5 Bxe5 c3, which offers better prospects than losing material.

Moment 2 — Missed Opportunity MAJOR ↗

Missed Skewer

FEN: N1bk2nr/pp1p1pbp/4p1p1/1B6/3pP3/2P4q/PP2KP1P/R2Q3R b - - 0 13

You Played: d3+
You Could Have Played: Qh5+
Eval Swing: -360 cp
Variation: Qh5+ Ke1 Qxb5 cxd4

You could have played: Qh5+ Ke1 Qxb5 cxd4

Coach Explanation

You had a chance to play Qh5+, a skewer that wins material. After Qh5+, if White responds with Ke1, then Qxb5 wins a bishop for a pawn. This is because after Qxb5, White's best response is cxd4.

Moment 3 — Missed Opportunity MINOR ↗

Missed Positional

FEN: N1bk2nr/pp3pbp/4p1p1/2qp4/Q3PP2/2PB4/PP1K3P/R6R b - - 1 19

You Played: d4
You Could Have Played: dxe4
Eval Swing: -200 cp
Variation: dxe4 Bxe4 Nf6 Bg2

You could have played: dxe4 Bxe4 Nf6 Bg2

Coach Explanation

You had a chance to seize the initiative with dxe4. This would have opened the position and challenged White's control of the center. White's likely response, Bxe4, would have led to Nf6. This sequence pressures e4 and develops a piece. After Bg2, Black's position is much improved. You had a chance to gain a significant advantage.

Moment 4 — Blunder CRITICAL ↗

Positional

FEN: N2k2nr/pp1B1pbp/4p1p1/8/Q3PP2/5K2/Pq5P/R6R b - - 3 24

You Played: e5
Engine Best: Qc3+
Eval Swing: -653 cp
Variation: Qc3+ Ke2 Bd4 Qb3

Refutation: Rhd1 Qc3+ Ke2 Qb2+

Coach Explanation

e5 hangs material and allows your opponent to force a quick checkmate. Qc3+ is superior because it is the engine's suggestion. After Qc3+ Ke2 Bd4 Qb3, you are still in the game. After Rhd1 Qc3+ Ke2 Qb2+, your position is lost. You were objectively lost here, but this move might have set a practical trap.

Recurring Patterns

Across the analyzed games, a clear pattern of missed opportunities emerges, particularly involving hanging pawns. This game bucks the trend, with no instances of missed hanging pawns. However, the player continues to struggle with blunders, specifically the loss of material via hanging pieces, as evidenced by the hung knight in this game. The missed skewer opportunity (Qh5+) and failure to seize the initiative with dxe4 highlights a potential weakness in recognizing tactical and positional advantages.
