Recent bullet results snapshot
Here is a concise read on your latest bullet games and what they suggest for your next steps.
- You have shown resilience in dynamic middlegame positions and can convert pressure into a win in at least one recent game. This indicates good initiative and the ability to press when you sense activity on the board.
- One recent loss shows a harsher turn where aggressive ideas didn’t pay off. In very short time formats, quick, solid development and king safety tend to outperform risky pawn pushes. Consider prioritizing steady piece activity over ambitious lines when the clock is tight.
- A recent draw points to opportunities where you could have tightened the endgame or simplified toward favorable trades. In bullet, finding clean simplifications that keep your king safe and reduce counterplay can help convert more draws into wins.
Openings performance snapshot
Your openings performance shows solid results with a few flexible choices. Focusing on a small, reliable set can help you play faster and more confidently in bullet.
- Colle System: Rhamphorhynchus Variation — roughly 49% win rate across many games. Good for solid, strategic play, but make sure you have concrete middlegame plans ready so you don’t get stuck in quiet positions without a clear path forward.
- Nimzo-Larsen Attack — around 52% win rate. A practical choice to keep games flexible and avoid heavy theory while still controlling the center.
- French Defense, Benoni lines, and other flexible systems show around 44–52% win rates. These are viable in bullet when you’re comfortable with typical pawn structures and common tactical motifs.
If you want to lean into these, consider building a small cheat sheet with 2–3 key middlegame plans for each chosen opening. This can speed up decision-making in the fast pace of bullet games.

Strength Adjusted Win Rate insights
Your Strength Adjusted Win Rate sits around 0.50, which is a balanced baseline for bullet. It suggests you’re performing near an even level when factoring in complexity and opponent strength. To nudge this higher, focus on consistent patterns that translate quickly on the clock: solid opening choices, quick tactical recognition, and efficient endgame technique.
Momentum and trend snapshot
Rating changes show a short‑term decline over the last 1–6 months, with a flat 12‑month trend. This suggests the need for a targeted practice plan to rebuild confidence and consistency in bullet play.
- 1 month change: down by 11 points. Consider a focused puzzle routine to sharpen pattern recognition under time pressure.
- 3 month change: down by 36 points. A sign to tighten opening choices and practice endgame conversions in quick formats.
- 6 month change: down by 113 points. Indicates a longer trend that benefits from structured practice and a stable repertoire.
- 12 month slope: flat. There is room to re-establish momentum with a repeatable training plan.
Concrete improvement plan for the next 2–3 weeks
- Choose 2 openings to specialize in for bullet. Build quick-reference notes for typical middlegame plans, common traps, and common endgames arising from those lines.
- Daily tactics habit: 10–15 minutes of puzzles at a moderate level to improve quick pattern recognition and reduce blunders.
- Endgame emphasis: practice 5–7 rook endgames and basic king + pawn endings. This helps in converting draws to wins and winning games that simplify late.
- Post-game reviews: after every bullet session, identify one moment where you could improve: a misjudged tactic, a timing issue, or a plan switch you could have made sooner.
- Time management discipline: set a simple time budget (for example, don’t spend more than 15 seconds on an early-middlegame decision and aim to keep a steady clock pressure). Use concise, safe moves when unsure and avoid overthinking trivial positions.

Optional next steps
If you’d like, I can tailor a 2-week micro-plan based on your preferred openings and typical bullet time controls (e.g., 1+0, 2+0). I can also generate a focused set of tactical puzzles and a short, structured post-game review checklist you can use after every bullet game.
