Feedback for anushka — blitz improvement plan
Hi anushka, here is constructive feedback based on your recent blitz activity. View your profile anytime with anushka.
Momentum and what it suggests
Your rating change over different timeframes shows a strong short-term uptick (about +83 points in the last month), but longer-term trends are flat or negative. This can happen when you lean into sharp, tactical play in the short run but don’t consistently translate that momentum into stable, repeatable decisions in the longer term. A steady, repeatable approach will help you sustain the gains you’re making in the near term.
What you’re doing well in blitz
- You respond well to dynamic, tactical chances and keep the pressure on opponents, which helps in converting opportunities in fast time controls.
- You show resilience — you don’t give up easily when behind and continue to fight for practical chances, which is essential in blitz.
- You adapt to different positions and aren’t afraid to complicate the game, which can pay off when your calculation needs are high and time is limited.
Key areas to improve in blitz
- Time management: develop a simple plan to allocate thinking time per move and avoid spending too long on a single branch. Practice a quick “choose and commit” approach for non-forcing moves.
- Endgame technique: blitz often ends in simplified endings where accuracy matters. Strengthen common rook and king endgames and learn a few decisive patterns (e.g., how to activate the king and rook together, how to convert a pawn majority).
- Pattern recognition and calculation: train with short, daily tactical puzzles (5–10 minutes) focusing on forks, pins, skewers, and discovered attacks to improve quick recognition in blitz.
- Opening discipline: pick 1–2 blitz-friendly openings you’re comfortable with and study their typical middlegame plans. This reduces early overthinking and time scrambles.
Opening approach for blitz
You rotate through several openings, which is common in blitz but can lead to early confusion and time trouble. Consider committing to a small, reliable set of openings and learn the typical middlegame ideas and typical traps. This will help you reach stronger middlegame positions with more confidence and less time pressure. If you’d like, you can combine a solid Queen’s Gambit or Caro-Kann setup with a clear plan for the typical pawn structures and key break moves.
Drills and practice plan
- Daily puzzles: 5–10 minutes focusing on tactical motifs (forks, pins, skewers, discovered attacks) to sharpen quick calculation.
- Endgame practice: two short sessions per week on rook endings and king activity to improve conversion in blitz endings.
- Post-game review: after each blitz session, spend 5 minutes analyzing the last two games and note one decision you’d play differently with more time.
- Time-pressure training: use 3+2 or 5+0 formats to build speed; track where you consistently spend time and aim for even distribution across the game.
Next steps and micro-goals
- Set a 2-week goal to improve endgame conversion and reduce one or two recurring blunders in the early middlegame.
- Establish a blitz repertoire with 1–2 solid openings and a clear plan for the typical middlegame structures.
- Keep a simple training log to track puzzles solved, endgames practiced, and insights from post-game reviews.
