Overall trajectory and focus

From the data you shared, your momentum looks solid over the 3- and 6-month windows, with a steady upward trend in rating. Your strength-adjusted win rate sits just above 50%, which means a few more precise decisions could push you into a higher winning percentage in practice. The openings data shows you perform best in several solid lines (Colle, Slav Exchange, and certain English lines), while Modern defenses are more challenging. Use these insights to guide your study and game choices in bullet games.

Strengths you can build on

  • Active, tactical play in fast time controls, creating pressure and forcing the opponent to find accurate defenses.
  • Ability to stay in the fight in complex middlegames and look for practical chances even when under time pressure.
  • Resilience and willingness to press for advantages, which helps in converting small edges into wins.

Key areas to improve

  • Time management in bullet: aim for a quick initial filter on each move (check for immediate threats, then commit to a solid development plan) to reduce rushed decisions.
  • Opening repertoire: lean into the lines where you show stronger results (e.g., certain English variations, Colle, Slav-related ideas) and reduce risk in openings with lower win rates to keep middlegame plans clear.
  • Endgame technique: focus on converting advantages in rook endings and simple king-pawn endings; practice a few standard endgame patterns to improve conversion rates.
  • Calculation discipline: in tactical skirmishes, verify 2–3 candidate moves and assess the opponent’s likely replies before committing to a line.

Opening and practice plan

  • Prioritize two to three openings where you perform well and feel comfortable, such as select English lines and Colle-related setups. Build a simple, repeatable plan for the middlegame in each.
  • Incorporate a weekly endgame drill: rook endings and pawn endings to improve conversion in short time controls.
  • Bullet-focused drills: short daily tactics (5–10 minutes) to reinforce common motifs that appear in your games (forks, pins, back-rank ideas, and mating nets).
  • Post-game reviews: after each bullet game, write a one-line takeaway and one practical improvement to carry into the next game.

Consistency and long-term momentum

Your rating changes show positive momentum in the short to mid term, with a stronger signal over the 3- to 6-month windows. To sustain this, pair tactical practice with quiet, repetition-based study (endgames and structure) and keep a small, steady opening repertoire to reduce early mistakes. Track a simple weekly target (e.g., one endgame study, two opening-review sessions, and two tactical practice sessions) to maintain steady growth.
