Coach Feedback & Lesson Timeline

NM Dilshad MohammedJune 4, 2026

Ethan did exceptionally well in yesterday's sparring session. He spotted a subtle coordinate back-rank pin to win a Rook. His board vision has improved significantly since we started Level 02. Let's keep pushing tactical homework this week.

🏆 Concept Mastered: Back-rank Pin
DM
NM Dilshad MohammedMay 15, 2026

We reviewed forks and double-attack patterns today. Board vision is sharpening, and his calculation coordinates are solid. He is spending more time looking at candidate moves, which is a great habit for his USCF rating path.
