## Prompt

```text
Review a chess game I played and help me learn from it.

**Game:** [PASTE the PGN or move list]
**I played:** [White / Black]
**My rating or level:** [e.g. "1200 online", "beginner", "club player"]
**Time control:** [e.g. bullet, blitz, rapid, classical]
**What I was thinking at key moments:** [OPTIONAL - e.g. "on move 18 I thought I was winning the knight"]

Give me:
1. **Game summary** - opening name, what kind of position resulted, and the story of the game in 3-4 sentences.
2. **Turning points** - the 3-5 moves where the evaluation changed most. For each: what I played, a better move, and the idea behind it in plain words (not just a line of moves).
3. **Opening** - where I left sound play and one principle to remember.
4. **Patterns** - recurring habits (e.g. missed tactics, moving the same piece twice, ignoring king safety, poor time use).
5. **What to study** - 3 specific themes or exercises matched to my level.

Explain at my level. You can make mistakes calculating long variations, so flag any line you are unsure of and suggest I confirm critical moments with a chess engine.
