Quick summary

Great energy in these blitz sessions — you pressed with pawn storms, created and converted passed pawns, and used active rooks and queens to finish games. A few quick, recurring weaknesses cost you time or material in sharper lines. Below are focused, actionable points to keep the wins coming.

Recent game highlights (click to inspect)

• Win vs kocham_edgara123 — excellent creation and promotion of a passed pawn on the c‑file, good rook activity and decisive centralization.
• Win vs Serhii — strong tactical awareness: exploited back‑rank/king exposure with coordinated queen + rook threats.
• Win vs laionel_66 — converted an outside passed pawn into a queen and used it efficiently.
• Loss vs ماهان فرجی — opening over‑extension (early pawn storm) let Black punish with tactical counterplay; game ended quickly after central break.

What you’re doing well

• Creating and converting passed pawns — your games show a reliable instinct for advancing connected pawns and forcing promotions.
• Active major pieces — you use rooks and queens energetically (invasions, checks, simplifying into winning endgames).
• Practical tactics under time pressure — you find mating nets and forks quickly in blitz, which turns pressure into wins.
• Opening success in several systems — your opening repertoire contains high‑yield lines (for example London System: Poisoned Pawn Variation), so you start many games with confidence.

Consistent problems to fix

• Early pawn over‑extensions — the g4 idea in the loss was aggressive but left squares and a knight outpost for the opponent. Against well‑timed counterplay this becomes a tactical liability.
• Tactical backfire in sharp openings — when you push pawns or start attacks before development is finished, opponents often reply with tactical strikes (knight forks, pinned pieces). Watch for quick exchanges that flip the initiative. Think: does this pawn move create holes or hanging pieces (LPDO)?
• Transition judgement — sometimes you simplify into an endgame without ensuring your passed pawn path is fully protected or your king safe. Double‑check whether exchanges help or help your opponent first.
• Pre‑move and time habits — in blitz, a confident pre‑move is useful, but avoid risky pre‑moves in tactical positions. A single misclick or mouse slip in a tactical melee can cost the game.

Concrete drills (daily 20–40 min blitz practice)

• 15 minutes tactics: focus on knight forks, queen+rook mates, and decoy/deflection motifs. Aim for high volume and review mistakes immediately.
• 10 minutes endgame drills: queen vs rook scenarios, king + pawn vs king, and conversion of outside passed pawns. Practice the technique of queening and avoiding stalemate traps.
• 10 minutes opening review: pick 2 recurring lines (example: London System: Poisoned Pawn Variation and a Philidor/anti‑Philidor response). Learn typical plans and one tactical trap per line.
• Play 5–10 blitz games with a focused goal each time (e.g., "no premature pawn pushes", or "avoid pre‑moves in the middlegame").

Blitz‑specific tips

• When you have initiative, simplify only if you’re certain the resulting endgame is winning. If in doubt, keep pieces on to maintain attacking chances.
• Avoid risky pre‑moves in sharp positions. Use pre‑moves mainly for quiet captures or forced recaptures in simplified positions.
• Look for one defensive resource before every capture: one small check or intermezzo can reverse evaluation in blitz.
• Manage the clock: if you trade into an endgame with a passed pawn, spend an extra second to ensure your path to promotion is clear. Tiny pauses often avoid conversion blunders.
• After a quick loss, do a 2‑minute replay of the critical position and ask: “What single move changed the evaluation?” That habit builds pattern recognition fast.

Study plan for the next 4 weeks

• Week 1: Tactics marathon + 10 annotated blitz games (mark two turning points per game).
• Week 2: Endgame fundamentals — queen vs rook, outside passed pawn conversions, opposition and key squares.
• Week 3: Opening sharpening — pick two of your best performing openings and drill typical middlegame plans and one trap to avoid.
• Week 4: Mixed practicals — 30 minutes daily blitz with one post‑mortem per day focusing on mistakes and time management.

Next steps (actionable right now)

• Review the loss vs ماهان فرجی and find the exact moment the opening slipped — mark that move and learn the defensive reply.
• Pick one recurring weakness (e.g., early pawn storms) and force yourself to avoid it for the next 10 games — compare results.
• Record one win where you promoted a pawn (like vs kocham_edgara123). Annotate the path to promotion — this reinforces the right technique.

Motivation & final notes

Your rating trend shows strong ability to improve — use the same practical, tactic‑first approach that wins blitz games but temper it with quick safety checks in the opening. Keep doing short, focused reviews — they yield fast gains in blitz.
