Overall Performance
Your recent bullet games show a solid performance with a strength adjusted win rate of approximately 55.8% and a positive rating change of 83 points over the last month. This is a great indicator of consistent improvement. Your rating trend slope over 1, 3, and 6 months is steady and positive, reflecting your continuous upward progress.
Strengths
- Strong Endgame Technique: In several winning games, you effectively converted advantages in the endgame, showing good understanding and precision under time pressure.
- Solid Opening Knowledge: Your openings such as the Nimzowitsch-Larsen-Attack and French-Defense display sound positional play, helping you to reach playable middlegame positions.
- Good Tactical Awareness: Your games indicate good calculation skills to capture critical tactical opportunities, often capitalizing on opponents’ inaccuracies.
Areas for Improvement
- Handling High-Level Opponents: Losses against very strong opponents such as Daniel Naroditsky show moments where defensive accuracy could be sharpened, especially in complex middlegame positions.
- Time Management: A few games ended due to time forfeits or rushed moves in critical positions. Improving time control, especially in the last phase of the game, will help avoid unnecessary losses.
- Opening Variety: Although your openings are solid, diversifying and deepening opening preparation might help in taking opponents out of their comfort zones early.
Recommendations
- Study Key Endgame Patterns: Continue practicing common tactical and strategic endgames to convert advantages confidently.
- Analyze Losses Thoroughly: Review your games against stronger opponents, identifying critical turning points and alternative moves.
- Improve Time Management: Practice playing with increment or rapid time controls to build better pacing during bullet games.
