Hi 007amin 💡

What you’re already doing well

• Fighting spirit. You play actively and aren’t afraid to launch direct attacks (for example your win against danbedfordwell).
• Tactical alertness. When tactics do appear you often spot the first blow (♕h5, ♗xb7, etc.).
• Bullet instincts. You understand that in a 60-second game speed wins – several victories came simply because you kept the initiative and your opponent’s clock ran out.

Biggest improvement opportunities

1. Time management

Half of your recent losses were won on time by your opponents (e.g. vs mohit-mt-5 and PPwithAutism). Try these habits:

• Play one simple opening for a week so moves 1-10 come instantly.
• Use safe premoves for forced recaptures.
• If you reach <10 s, stop calculating long lines – play simple developing moves and keep the pieces protected.

2. Opening discipline

Early queen adventures cost a lot of tempo and usually hand the initiative back. From your last loss:

Black gained two extra pieces in play while you moved the queen four times. Recommendation:

• White: Try the simple Italian: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4. Castle on move 4-5.
• Black vs e4: Keep your Scandinavian but follow the main line 1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 3.Nc3, then …Qa5 and develop.
• Rule of thumb: Knights and bishops before the queen; castle before pawn storms.

3. King safety

In several games (vs Yerajm, vs RafaelHirmas) the king never castled and eventually got mated or flagged while running in the center. Make it a habit: “Castle by move 10 unless I have a concrete tactic.”

4. Converting winning positions

You were up a rook in the win against Sebacaab2010 but still needed the clock to finish. When ahead:

1. Trade pieces, not pawns.
2. Centralize rooks on open files.
3. Push connected passed pawns only when the king is safe.

5. Daily tactics workout

Just 10 minutes of puzzle rush will sharpen your eye for forks, pins and skewers. Look especially at knight fork – many of your opponents missed them, and you can punish that faster.

Suggested one-week training plan

• 20 bullet games a day, always the same openings.
• 10 minutes of puzzles after each session.
• Review two losses quickly: “Where did I waste time? Where did my king stay in the center?”

Your progress so far

Peak Bullet rating: 738 (2024-09-23)

Key takeaways

• Save the queen sorties for move 10+, not move 2.
• Castle early, keep the king out of bullet tactics.
• Simplify when ahead and trust the clock when you’re equal.

Stay consistent for one week and the next peak will come quickly. Good luck and have fun at the board!
