What You're Doing Well
- Opening Preparation: You have a diverse opening repertoire and manage to reach playable middlegame positions. For example, your use of the Queens Pawn Opening and Sicilian Defense show comfort in common lines.
- Endgame Technique: In your wins, you often convert material or positional advantages into a win efficiently, sometimes winning on time or by delivering checkmate with resourceful tactics.
- Time Management: Generally you keep good time pressure balance in bullet games, avoiding major time trouble until late in the game.
Areas for Improvement
- Handling Complicated Tactical Positions: Some losses show vulnerability to direct tactical threats early, such as missed checks or exchanges that lead to material loss. Practicing tactical puzzles could reduce these mistakes.
- Middle Game Planning: In a few games, critical moves allow your opponents to gain strong passed pawns or activate their pieces fully. Work on identifying strategic plans and improving positional play to tighten control.
- Opening Specifics: Though your openings are broadly sound, tightening move order and familiarizing yourself deeper with responses can avoid early concessions. Revisiting lines such as the Reti Opening and Modern Defense variations could help.
