Quick summary

Nice cluster of blitz wins — you create imbalances, open lines toward the enemy king, and finish actively. Your 3–6 month trend shows clear improvement even if the last month dipped slightly.

What you did well

• Consistent attacking mindset: you repeatedly open files and bring rooks and queen into decisive action.
• Tactical accuracy in sharp positions — sacrifices and forcing moves were well timed and converted.
• King‑side play and pawn storms: you used pawn advances (f/g pushes) to pry open the opponent’s structure and create mating nets.
• Strong conversion: when your opponent's counterplay appeared, you prioritized forcing lines and kept initiative.
• Repertoire depth: you’re comfortable in many structures and can switch plans mid‑game.

Recurring weaknesses to fix

• Some wins depend on the clock (time wins). Work on converting positions cleanly so you’re not reliant on flagging.
• Occasional central pawn breaks from opponents (…d3/…d4) gained too much space. Aim to neutralize those breaks or trade them when they become dangerous.
• Lower win rate in some quiet lines (Caro‑Kann Exchange, English Agincourt). Those positions demand strategic patience rather than tactical fireworks.
• Transitions: sometimes you trade into endgames that reduce your winning chances. Prefer trades that preserve an outside passed pawn or active pieces.

Concrete practice plan (2–4 weeks)

• Daily tactics (20–30 puzzles): focus on discovered attacks, sacrifices to open files, and mating patterns.
• Two weekly longer games (15+10): force yourself to convert positions without relying on time pressure.
• One opening session per week (30–45 minutes): pick a weaker opening from your stats and learn 3–4 typical plans and a trap.
• Analyze 3 wins and 3 losses with engine + self‑commentary: note why a plan worked or failed and what you missed.
• Endgame drills: rook+pawn basics, queen vs rook practice — these often decide blitz finishes after tactical melees.

Practical blitz tips

• Pre‑select a simple plan in the opening so you save time for tactics later (e.g., castle king‑side and play for g‑file).
• When ahead, simplify into winning endgames — trade pieces when it improves your pawn structure or creates a passed pawn.
• Don’t rely on “hope chess” vs low‑time opponents; play strong, concrete moves that finish the job.
• Keep an eye on opponent counterplay: neutralize pawn breaks early or trade the piece that enables the break.

Targeted drills

• Tactics: two‑ and three‑move combinations with checks and sacrifices (10–15/day).
• Pattern training: queen + rook batteries, back‑rank mates, and common mating nets.
• Endgame: convert rook + passed pawn endings and practice defense of queen vs rook (20 minutes/week).
• Opening: make a 1‑page plan sheet for one weaker opening and review it before playing.

Example winning sequence — study on the board

This run from your recent game shows how you opened lines and coordinated queen + rooks to force decisive outcomes. Replay it to see the decisive tactics and where the opponent’s defense collapsed.

Opening study suggestions

• King’s Indian (E91): keep studying pawn breaks and typical sacrificial motifs for kingside attacking plans.
• Caro‑Kann and English Agincourt: focus on typical pawn breaks and piece plans — these quieter lines need strategic clarity rather than tactical blunders.
• Practice one model game per opening and extract 3 recurring plans to memorize — this saves time in blitz and reduces mistakes.

Next steps this week

• Pick one weak opening and create a single‑page plan + 3 model games.
• Do 50 mixed tactics + 10 endgame puzzles before your next blitz session.
• Run two engine‑assisted post‑mortems on losses to find recurring defensive errors.
