Profile: avghmmk

A passionate and ever-improving chess competitor, avghmmk has shown remarkable progress across multiple time controls, with a particular flair in Bullet chess. In 2023, their Bullet rating rose from 1771 to a peak of 2557; by 2024, they even surpassed the 2600 mark, underlining their rapid growth and fast-paced style. Blitz also forms part of their repertoire, where they have climbed to ratings above 2400 and explored a wide range of play. They round out their repertoire with occasional Rapid encounters, consistently maintaining high-level performances.

In the opening phase, avghmmk exhibits a broad and experimental approach. They favor classical mainstay setups such as the Nimzo-Indian Defense and variations of the Ruy Lopez, among many other openings, showing a willingness to explore diverse ideas on the board. Their data reveals that roughly four out of every ten games reach deep endgames, suggesting a solid grasp of technique once the middlegame transitions.

Psychologically, avghmmk demonstrates resilience by converting nearly half of their losses of material into comebacks, reflecting a fighting spirit and resourcefulness. They perform consistently regardless of playing White or Black (with White just edging slightly above 51% wins), and their best results often come during mid-afternoon sessions. With a longest winning streak of 15 games and a readiness to adapt multiple strategies, avghmmk continues to refine their skills and embraces new challenges in pursuit of chess mastery.

Hi avghmmk — here’s your tailored feedback

👍 What’s working well

  • Dynamic openings. Mixing Alekhine-, Danish- and King’s-Indian–type setups keeps opponents guessing.
  • Piece activity. Against gacaruana you took over the centre with 6…e5! and 12…Bc5+, never letting White breathe.
  • Tactical awareness. Your 30…Bxd1!! (see mini-PGN below) ended the game instantly — a nice example of calculation under 60-second pressure.

🔍 Biggest improvement areas

  1. Clock handling. Two of your last five losses were on time. Drill 1-minute puzzle rush or add a small increment to reduce flagging.
  2. King safety during pawn storms. In the QGA loss to Who_sent_you the g-pawn advance weakened dark squares and you were mated. Before pushing flank pawns ask, “Is my king safe if queens stay on?”
  3. Facing …c5 set-ups vs 1.d4. Against Nicholasbenedict2007 you allowed …cxd4/Qxd5 and entered an inferior ending. Consider 3.Nf3 or meeting …cxd4 with Nxd4 to keep control.
  4. Technical conversion. You were winning versus theogsavvyd but needed 49 moves and a flag. Sharpen rook-endgame technique (Lucena, Philidor) to finish cleanly.

🎯 Homework

  • 15 min/day of speed tactics (≤30 sec per puzzle) to mimic game pressure.
  • Replay the position after 11…Nxc3 (Nicholasbenedict game) vs an engine until you consistently hold equality.
  • Study the thematic exchange sacrifice in the King’s Indian — know when it doesn’t work.
