Quick overview

Nice run — your recent rapid games show an aggressive, tactical style that pays off. Your rating and trend data (big gains over the last 6 months and a positive slope for 1/3/6/12 months) confirm steady improvement. Keep the momentum but tighten a few recurring leaks.

What you're doing well

• Direct attacking play — you consistently hunt the enemy king and create mating nets (several wins ended in mate or resignation).
• Queen invasions and penetration — you take advantage of open files and weak back ranks quickly (example: deep queen trips to b7/a7/a6 in recent games).
• Good opening choice for your style — gambit and sharp lines (Barnes variants, Scandinavian, Center Game) suit a tactical player and your win rates there are solid.
• Resilience — you convert messy positions into wins often, and your strength-adjusted win rate (~53%) is healthy for your level.

Most useful concrete examples

Pick one to review in your post-mortem — it highlights both strengths and a fixable weakness:

• Vs alexander_sky — you forced a queen-side invasion (Qa4, Qxa6, Qb7) and put heavy pressure; the opponent flagged. Good exploitation of space. Consider doing a short replay:
  
  
• Vs harsh2580 — your Scandinavian handling (…Bg4 and tactical follow-up) shows you know the key ideas. Review typical replies to Q moves by the opponent to avoid giving counterplay: Scandinavian Defense.
• Multiple mates and resignations — you spot finishing tactics. Build on that by tightening time use so you don't miss them under pressure.

Main areas to fix (priorities)

• Time management: a few wins came after the opponent flagged or during heavy time pressure. You sometimes play quickly early and then scramble at the end. Practice pacing — safe moves early, reserve time for critical moments.
• King safety: in sharp openings you pushed pawns and opened lines — great for attack but risky if the opposing pieces get active. Watch for checks and keep escape squares or timely castling in mind.
• Opening hygiene: your aggressive repertoire works, but some lines (Elephant Gambit, French, Australian) show low win rates. Either study typical traps and plans there or avoid them as Black until you’re comfortable.
• Transition play (middlegame → endgame): when you’re ahead, practice converting simplifications and basic endgames so you don’t rely on flags or tactical fireworks to win.

Practical, short training plan (weekly)

• Daily tactics — 15–25 minutes of mixed puzzles; focus on mating patterns, forks, and discovered attacks.
• Two opening sessions per week — 20 minutes each: reinforce one defensive idea in the lines you struggle with (pick Elephant Gambit or Australian Defense) and review 3 typical move orders and common traps.
• One rapid review session — after every session of 3–5 games, spend 10 minutes reviewing key positions (what changed the evaluation, missed tactics, time usage).
• Endgame basics — 2× per week, 10–15 minutes on rook endgames and basic king+pawn conversions; prioritize technique over fancy study.
• Clock practice — play a few 15+10 or 10+5 games to practice managing time without panicking at the end.

Quick checklist to use during games

• Before each move: "Any checks? Any captures? Any threats?"
• If you have a big decision or sharp tactic: spend time — don’t burn your clock on the opening routine.
• Avoid early queen flights unless they win material or deliver a clear threat — queens are great attackers but can be chased.
• When ahead, simplify carefully; when behind, look for active counterchances, not only defense.

Next steps & resources

• Replay a recent win and loss back-to-back and write 3 things you did well and 3 mistakes — repeat weekly.
• Study model games in your best openings (Barnes, Scandinavian, Center Game). For your Scandinavian games try this quick review: Scandinavian Defense.
• Want a focused analysis of one game? Tell me which opponent (for example huycng12345678910 or omeerbukutt) and I’ll produce a 5-point annotated post-mortem.

One-sentence encouragement

Your tactical instincts and attacking flair are real strengths — pair them with better clock control and a small targeted study plan and your rating climb will keep accelerating.
