Quick summary

Nice set of blitz games — you show strong tactical awareness and the ability to convert into a winning attack. Recent wins highlight good coordination between queen and rooks and the habit of hunting opponent king weaknesses. Your rating history shows a high peak and a lot of experience; recent months have a small downward trend, so targeted practice will get you back on the upward curve.

Concrete example (your most recent win)

You beat ilshatgb1989 by opening lines to the enemy king and then coordinating queen + rooks to finish the attack. You won material on the queenside and then used a decisive queen invasion on the kingside (winning g- and h-pawn structure) before delivering the final check with a rook lift.

• Good: spotting the tactical shot to capture on c6 and immediately switching to an all-out attack on the king.
• Good: quick, accurate queen checks that pulled the defender pieces away and allowed the rooks to penetrate.

What you're doing well

• Active piece play — you bring rooks and queen into the attack quickly and effectively.
• Opening preparation in your preferred systems — your Openings Performance shows strong win rates in lines you play often (keep these as your “go-to” choices).
• Conversion skill — in the second game you turned middlegame pressure into an endgame win and promotion; you spot winning continuations under practical time pressure.
• Tactical instincts — you consistently find checks and forcing moves that create decisive chances in blitz.

Main areas to improve

• Time management: a recent game ended by time loss. In several losses you reached critical positions with under 10 seconds — simplify when you have less time and use increment effectively.
• King safety & pawn pushes: in losses you sometimes open lines towards your king by aggressive pawn pushes. When attacking, ensure the king isn't left vulnerable to counterchecks and infiltration.
• Defensive technique vs passed pawns: an opponent promoted in one loss. Practice rook+king vs pawn and queen vs pawn endings so you don’t get surprised by connected passed pawns in endgames.
• Pattern-checking for perpetual and mating nets: avoid walking into perpetual checks or back-rank tricks when the opponent has active queen checks (watch the squares your king can escape to).

Short practice plan (weekly)

• Daily (10–20 min): 8–12 tactics from a tactics trainer focusing on mates, forks and discovered attacks. Emphasize pattern recognition, not just solving speed.
• Three times a week (15 min): endgame drills — king + rook vs king, queen vs pawn, basic pawn races. Convert a winning queen+rook advantage under a 5–10 second-per-move constraint.
• Twice a week (20–30 min): review 1 game you lost and 1 you won. Annotate the critical moment and identify a single recurring mistake to eliminate.
• One blitz session (5+2 or 3+2, 10–20 games): focus specifically on time control — practice pausing to think during opponent move, using increment, and choosing simple plans when under 15s.

Opening and repertoire advice

Your stats show clear strengths in several systems. Work smarter, not broader:

• Keep piloting the lines with >60% win rate — they suit your style (active, tactical).
• Pick one less-practiced opening that gives you trouble and learn typical plans (not just moves) — 30 minutes per week for a month will pay off.
• Study one model game per opening emphasizing typical middlegame plans and common pawn breaks — write 3 “If they play X, I play Y” notes for blitz speed.
• Use Queen's Gambit Accepted or your best-performing systems as your core and memorize 5–7 typical piece placements and two common tactical traps to watch for.

Practical checklist to use at the board

• Before you move in blitz: 3-second scan — are any of your pieces hanging? Are there checks or captures you must calculate?
• When ahead materially simplify — trade down to an easier winning endgame if time is low.
• When attacking, clear an escape square for your king first (luft or king walk) if you open files towards it.
• Use opponent’s checks as clues: if opponent can check you repeatedly, don’t overextend.

Suggested next steps

• Analyze your 3 most recent losses with an engine and pick the single recurring theme (time, tactic, pawn breaks). Focus on that for 2 weeks.
• Run 15 minutes/day of mixed tactics and endgame drills for 3 weeks, then reassess rating trend.
• Keep a short notebook (or app note) with “my mistakes” — update after each session and limit the list to 5 recurring items to avoid overwhelm.

If you want, I can:

• Annotate one loss in detail (move-by-move plain-English explanation).
• Create a 2-week daily blitz training schedule tailored to your time availability.

Helpful links / review suggestions

• Replay your recent win vs ilshatgb1989 above to reinforce good patterns.
• Study one of your recent losses vs prodigytactician focusing on the moment you ran low on time and on king safety decisions.
• Review a model game in one of your best openings — spend 20 minutes understanding the plan, not just memorizing moves.

Parting note

Your overall record and opening performance show you’re a very strong blitz player. The small rating dip is fixable — tighten time management, sharpen a couple of endgame patterns, and keep building on the aggressive, tactical style that brings you wins. Want a focused analysis of one loss now?
