Hi attaquion!

You are a dynamic 3-minute player who thrives on sharp positions and time pressure. Below you’ll find a concise review of recent games, highlighting what already works well and what could be tuned for the next rating climb.

Quick Snapshot

• Peak blitz rating: 2409 (2018-02-15)
• Typical activity:

Your Strengths

• Tactical alertness – In several wins you spotted resourceful shots such as 32.g5!! (vs Phyros) and 46.f8=Q (vs akindemas). You rarely miss a mating pattern once the enemy king is exposed.
• Clock management under pressure – Most victories come from keeping practical problems on the board while maintaining a time edge.
• Fearless pawn storms – g- and h-pawn launches consistently unbalance the game and drag opponents into complications you handle well.

Habitual Leaks

1. Over-extension in the opening. Early flank pushes (e.g. 2.a4 & 3.h4 vs biljanic) cost tempi and leave your king in the centre. Two of your last three losses started with adventurous but undeveloped positions.
2. King safety after winning material. In the loss to atlantyda you committed to …g5/…h6/…f5 without finishing development; your dark squares and clock both collapsed.
3. Conversion technique. Even when a pawn up (Phyros game move 51-57) you allowed counter-checks that almost repeated. A bit more end-game care would let you pre-move confidently instead of nursing a 1-second margin.

Game-Specific Nuggets

Opening Pointers

• With White – Your GPA/King’s Fianchetto setups are fine, but mix in a sound main-line (e.g. 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3) to avoid becoming predictable.
• With Black vs London – Adopt a crisp plan: 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 d5 3.Bf4 c5, followed by…Nc6 and …Bg4. You’ll seize space instead of reacting.
• French sidelines – In the Rubinstein (…dxe4) remember the tabiya after 6…b6. Your quick resignation against bigem76 started after 12.Bxb7; simply recapture 12…Qxb7 and Black is fine.

Skills to Train Next

1. Prophylaxis & restraint. Before launching pawns ask, “What is my opponent’s best reply?” Practise spotting silent defensive moves (a good time to review the concept of zwischenzug too).
2. Technical endgames. 10-minute weekly drill of rook-and-pawn vs rook and basic king-and-pawn endings will turn those time-scrambles into effortless pre-move wins.
3. Opening audit. Spend one session analysing the first 15 moves of each loss this week; note any move where computer eval drops by ≥ 0.8. Patch that line before the next blitz session.

Action Plan for the Coming Week

Keep the fighting spirit, temper it with a dash of prophylaxis, and the next rating jump will follow quickly. Enjoy the grind!
