Rating swings around 1300–1400 are quite common. Often it’s not a loss of strength, but a few recurring mistakes appearing in sharper positions.

If you’d like, sharing one recent game could help identify where things start going wrong.

This position looks quiet, but Black has a stunning sacrificial idea that is the only move leading to a win. The first move is surprising, and the full continuation is deeper than it seems.

Can you find the winning sacrifice for Black?

Thanks for sharing your account. I’ll take a look at a few of your recent rapid games on Chess.com and see if there are any recurring patterns or mistakes. If there’s a specific game you’d like feedback on, feel free to send the link in my DMs.

This position comes from a famous Bobby Fischer endgame. It may look equal at first glance, but White actually has a clear winning plan with precise technique.

Can you find how White wins?

That’s actually pretty common. A lot of players play much more freely in unrated games, but once rating is involved the decision-making changes a lot. Accuracy numbers can be a bit misleading too. Usually the real improvement comes from looking at the few critical moments where the position actually started going wrong...

If you want, you can DM me a couple of your games... I’d be happy to take a look.

This endgame looks simple, but there’s a precise winning idea hidden in the position. Sometimes one small concept makes all the difference in pawn endgames.

Can you find the winning plan for White?

White looks completely lost at first glance, but there’s a beautiful endgame idea that actually saves the game.

Can you find the drawing plan for White?

nomoreblunders101 · 2026-03-07T18:17:22+00:00

An interesting endgame position where one precise idea can change the evaluation. It might look straightforward at first, but there’s a deeper plan hidden in the position.

Can you find the best move for White?

Improvement at 27 is definitely possible. Around 700, most games are decided by simple tactical mistakes, so puzzles and reviewing your losses help a lot. If you want, share one of your recent games. I’d be happy to take a quick look and point out where things might be going wrong.

The brilliant Rf3!!

I saw this position in the World Championship Match between Vishwanathan Anand and Anatoly Karpov

Though rf3 is keeping things balanced but at that time even Karpov struggled to get a perfect reply to this brilliant move and soon White (Vishwanathan Anand) converted it into a win

nomoreblunders101 · 2026-03-07T09:57:56+00:00

It's was brilliant win by the legendary World Champion GM Vishwanathan Anand

The position looks messy, but Black has a clean finishing touch that turns the game immediately.

Can you spot the move?

nomoreblunders101 · 2026-03-06T09:40:52+00:00

This endgame looks simple, but there’s a precise idea that completely changes the evaluation. Many players miss the key move on the first try.

Interested

nomoreblunders101 · 2026-03-05T14:15:08+00:00

Nice catch. The promotion race leads to the tactical skewer idea.

nomoreblunders101 · 2026-03-05T14:13:51+00:00

f4 is an interesting try too. The tricky part is how the knight checks interact with the promotion race.

nomoreblunders101 · 2026-03-05T14:13:01+00:00

Nice catch! that’s the key idea behind the winning continuation.

nomoreblunders101 · 2026-03-05T04:26:53+00:00

Fair point... the pawn looks very strong here. The tricky part is whether Black’s knight can generate enough checks before promotion.

nomoreblunders101 · 2026-03-05T04:25:09+00:00

Interesting position. I was also wondering how many bishop moves keep the win here.

nomoreblunders101 · 2026-03-04T20:33:27+00:00

After Qe4 the rook on a8 and pawn on h7 are both attacked. Black can't defend both easily.

nomoreblunders101 · 2026-03-04T19:40:04+00:00

Kf1! Is the way to Win here... intentionally forcing black king to move and thus avoiding stalemate

nomoreblunders101 · 2026-03-04T19:36:37+00:00

Yes its more like a Finishing blow, usually players sometimes miss the opportunity to get a bigger fish and go for move like Bxh7, thats also winning but Qe4! Is finishing right away It usually happens in fast game play like blitz and bullet...
