Hi Suresh Harsh!

Here is a personalized review of your recent blitz performance together with an action-oriented improvement plan.

Quick Snapshot

  • Current form: beating 2700+ opposition (e.g. Levy Rozman) but also dropping several games on the clock.
  • Favourite structures: 1…g6 / …b6 setups and the Nimzowitsch–Larsen Attack with 1 b3.
  • Peak blitz rating: 3021 (2024-01-03).

What You Are Doing Well

  1. Dynamic piece play. In the win vs. GothamChess, …h6–g5 and the exchange sacrifice …Rxd1+ showed excellent feel for initiative.
  2. Flexible openings. Alternating between Modern, Owen’s and English setups keeps opponents guessing.
  3. End-game resourcefulness. The rook-and-pawn grind against burbur555 demonstrated good technique converting extra passed pawns.

Main Growth Areas

  1. Clock Management – recurrent Zeitnot.
    • Three of the last five losses were “lost on time” in equal or better positions.
    • Typical pattern: comfortable middlegame > critical moment > 10-second scramble > blunder or flag.
  2. Central tension handling.
    • In the loss to LiemLe you played …c6 then allowed dxc5 Nb5 without coordination, giving White control of d6/f7. Similar drift appeared in the D31 Janowski game.
  3. Premature pawn thrusts.
    • The pawn storm …h6–h5 vs. Dr_Tyger weakened dark squares and invited tactics (⚠︎ Nxg5 Qxg5+). Calculate forcing replies before committing wing pawns.

Targeted Training Plan (4 weeks)

TopicWeekly FocusMeasurement
Clock disciplineBulletproof “move every 5 s until 1:30 left”, then think.Average time per move < 7 s in first 20 moves.
Central pawn breaksDrill positions with e4/e5, d4/d5 tension (Chessable or CT-Art).90% score in 50 puzzles.
Dark-square strategyReview games where you fianchettoed and got attacked; annotate weaknesses.Concede ≤2 minor-piece sacrifices on g6/g7 in next 30 games.
Practical endgamesPlay 20 rook-and-pawn endings vs. engine “Endgame” level.Convert 70% of R+2 v R+1.

Opening Tweaks

  • As Black vs. 1 Nf3/1 c4: add a classical …d5 option to balance hyper-modern systems. Surprise value will remain but you’ll get more centre.
  • As White: your 1 b3 scores well, yet opponents are preparing. Sprinkle in 1 d4 with quick Bf4 (London-style) to keep repertoire fresh.
  • Memorisation tip: build micro-files of 15 critical positions instead of full theory trees.

Example Study Fragment

Critical moment from the GothamChess game (Black to move, move 18):


Engine confirms 19…Kh7!? is playable but human-practical …Bc8 kept coordination. Keep collecting such “champion moves” for your notebook.

Next Steps

  1. Play a 20-game streak implementing the 5-second rule; annotate only time-trouble phases.
  2. Once per week, select one loss and perform a blunder chain analysis: trace the first inaccuracy that made the final mistake possible.
  3. After 4 weeks, compare stats and request a follow-up review.

Stay disciplined and enjoy the process. With small tweaks you are well on course to push beyond 2900 blitz!

Good luck, and see you at the board!
