But don’t mistake this patience for passivity. Agustin’s psychological tilt factor of 17% means the emotional rollercoaster is part of the charm—one moment a calm strategist, the next a fierce warrior battling both opponent and inner demons.

What You’re Doing Well
Your recent games show strong strategic understanding in slower openings like the English Opening and King's Fianchetto setups. Your ability to convert winning positions and your win on time in bullet games indicate solid time management and pressure handling.
- Strong endgame technique allowing you to capitalize on small advantages.
- Effective use of pawn breaks to open lines, such as advancing central pawns decisively.
- Good piece coordination in attacks and defense, particularly your bishops and knights.
- Winning consistently against similarly rated opponents shows you maintain composure under time pressure.
Areas for Improvement
Although your current performance is strong, some patterns suggest opportunities to sharpen your play and minimize losses:
- Opening Consistency: Some losses stem from allowing opponents easy counterplay after opening moves. Consider reinforcing your repertoire in frequently played openings like the English Opening to prevent early disadvantages.
- Handling Complex Positions: In a few losses, tactics from opponents exploited small inaccuracies. Enhancing tactical alertness could reduce these critical errors, especially in the middle game.
- Time Management on Critical Moves: While you win on time often, improving move speed without sacrificing accuracy could allow more tactical depth in bullet games.
- Defensive Awareness: Avoiding traps or high-pressure lines where your setup can become vulnerable; review games where your king was attacked to ensure safer positional play.
Suggestions for Focused Improvement
- Study key ideas and plans in your most played openings, such as the English Opening and Kings Fianchetto Structures, to better anticipate opponent responses and strengthen early game.
- Practice tactical puzzles regularly to sharpen your ability to spot threats and opportunities quickly in bullet time controls.
- Work on short time control simulations to balance speed and accuracy, focusing on taking slightly more time for critical moves.
- Analyze losses to identify recurring mistakes — especially look at common tactical oversights or strategic misjudgments.
- Incorporate short endgame training to enhance conversion in simplified positions, maintaining your strong finishing skills.
Overall Progress and Motivation
Your strength adjusted win rate over 55% and an impressive rating gain of over 500 points in the last six months show significant growth and potential. Despite small recent drops, your rating trend slopes indicate you are improving at a healthy pace. Stay consistent, focus on smoothing out opening and tactical weaknesses, and continue leveraging your strong endgame skills.
