Quick overview

Nice session — you’re an aggressive bullet player who creates fast, concrete threats and converts them when opponents panic in time trouble. Your recent win shows strong attacking instincts; your losses reveal repeatable patterns you can fix quickly. Below is targeted feedback, a compact checklist and a short 7‑day plan.

What you did well

• Relentless kingside play: pushing g/h pawns and opening lines consistently produces real mating chances (example: your win vs pikatnimopete).
• Sharp tactical sense: you see forcing sequences and sacrifice ideas quickly — that converts a lot of bullet games for you.
• Opening familiarity: your high win rates in sharp/offbeat openings let you steer opponents into messy positions where you thrive.
• Speed advantage: you convert wins when opponents flag or misread tactics under time pressure — a genuine bullet skill.

Recurring problems to fix

• Missing forks and jumping-knight tactics in simplified positions — those cost you material in losses (see the game vs crazymadmax4).
• Endgame technique when an attack fizzles: sometimes you trade into endings where opponent pawns or active rooks dominate.
• Trading into unfavorable imbalances: avoid simplifying to positions where your opponent’s pawns become dangerous or their pieces get activity.
• Pre-move and rushed replies in tactical terrain — these lead to blunders when the position requires one extra second of thought.

Concrete notes from your most recent win

• Plan execution: you opened the kingside and used coordinated piece play (knights + bishops + queen) to force decisive tactics.
• Key tactical theme: clearing defenders and then inserting a knight into the enemy camp (the Nxg6 / Nxf8 sequence).
• Study this short move sequence to see the flow of the attack:

Concrete notes from recent losses

• Vs crazymadmax4: a knight fork on f7 finished the game — before you castle or push pawns, check for immediate knight jumps and forks on your weak squares.
• Vs benjaminanda and Edgarma_PCAP: exchanging into pawn-heavy or rook-active endgames backfired. If your attack isn’t decisive, transition to simplified positions that keep your king safe and reduce opponent counterplay.
• Pattern: combine tactical calculation with a quick prophylactic check — ask whether your move allows forks, back-rank mates, or passed-pawn races.

Practical drills (15–30 minutes/day)

• Tactics (10–15 min): focus on forks, discovered checks and knight jumps. Do 30 problems with “fork” theme.
• Endgame basics (5–10 min): practice rook endings and pawn races; learn key defensive ideas for stopping a passed pawn.
• Game review (10–15 min): annotate 3 losses — find the single critical mistake and why the alternative is better, then validate with an engine.
• Bullet habit: disable pre-moves in tactically unclear positions. Use pre-moves only for forced recaptures or when checks are impossible.

Short checklist to use during your next 20 bullet games

• Before moving: “Does this allow a fork, mate, or a decisive passed pawn?” If yes, spend extra seconds.
• When attacking: keep pieces aimed at the king — avoid premature trades that free defenders unless the exchange wins.
• If behind on position but ahead on time: simplify to a clear plan and use the clock advantage.
• Limit risky pre-moves; don’t pre-move when the opponent can change capture patterns.

7‑day focused plan

• Days 1–3: Tactics — 30 fork/discovered-check problems daily + review 3 losses (15–30 min).
• Days 4–5: Endgame drills — rook vs rook, pawn races, basic queen endgames (20 min/day).
• Days 6–7: Play blitz/rapid applying the checklist; annotate 5 games afterward. Focus on not pre-moving in sharp positions.

Closing & offer

Your long-term numbers and opening win rates show you’re already an excellent practical player. Tightening the small tactical and endgame leaks will give a noticeable rating boost — your recent +80 in one month shows progress is effective. If you want, I can: analyze one specific loss move-by-move, create a 2‑week training plan tailored to your openings, or generate 30 fork problems tuned to your level. Which would you like?
