What you already do well

• Opening creativity  ≫ Your Wing Gambit scores impressively; the win vs captain_alpha0 shows deep pattern knowledge and the calm 25.Ra7+-33.Rg7+-34.Qg6# finishing sequence.
• Tactical sharpness  ≫ You spot forcing ideas quickly, even in 60-second games. The Modern-Defense win against omeramirakdag is a good example of clean calculation under heavy time pressure.
• End-game conversion  ≫ When the position is simplified you maintain technique and speed – e.g. the rook-and-pawn ending you converted to mate in the same game.

Key issues holding you back

1. Early pawn lunges that weaken your king.
   In several losses (vs Michal Mazurkiewicz, damwon) g- and h-pawns advanced before castling, leaving dark-square holes that were exploited.
   Bullet rule of thumb: if you push a flank pawn before your king is safe, spend one extra second asking “What is my answer to …Qh4/…Ng4?”
2. Modern/Pirc set-up as Black needs repair.
   Games against the 2400-2500 range show recurring trouble after the sequence …g6, …c6, …d5. White often seizes space with c4 or Qb3-Rc1xd5. Two suggestions:
   • Adopt an early …e5 structure (Modern-Line) to claim central squares.
   • Or play the sharper 0-0-0 + …f5 setups only in 3 + 2 where you have time to calculate.
3. Piece coordination in cluttered middlegames.
   The Caro-Kann loss vs Praveen Thipsay featured multiple pieces guarding the same square while d- and g-files were unattended, allowing 25…Nf4! and Rd2.
   Quick check list: 1⃣ Which of my pieces is doing nothing? 2⃣ Can it contest an open file or cover an entry square?
4. Time-to-move balance.
   You seldom flag, yet in the last four defeats you reached single-digit seconds by move 20 while opponents still had 25-30 s. Borrow 3-4 s earlier (moves 10-15) to confirm tactics; that investment is cheaper than emergency intuition later.
