Quick summary

Nice run — your rating and trends show you’re on an upward trajectory (strong recent month and 3/6‑month slopes). You win a lot of games by creating practical threats and pushing passed pawns, but time management and some recurring opening lines (notably the Scandinavian Defense) are costing you points. Below are concrete, bite‑size fixes you can apply in your next bullet sessions.

What you did well (from these recent games)

• Created and pushed a decisive passed pawn in the win vs Kevin Su — you turned a positional edge into an unstoppable pawn advance and promotion chances.
• Good use of simplification when it helps — trading into an endgame with a passed pawn rather than forcing fairy‑tale complications.
• Strong pattern recognition and tactics under pressure — you found forcing checks and captures to exploit opponent inaccuracies.
• Your long‑term trend metrics show consistent improvement — keep the training rhythm that produced the +45 (1 month) and +212 (3 month) gains.

Primary problems to fix

• Time trouble / flag losses: several games ended on the clock (both wins and losses). In bullet, you’re letting winning positions become risky because of low time. Work on simple decision rules to avoid complicated thinking on the clock.
• Opening leaks: your Scandinavian Defense record is weaker than average (low win rate in your Opening Performance). Either study the critical lines you face or replace it with one of your higher‑return openings for bullet.
• Endgame technique under time pressure: converting small material edges (rook + pawn endings, king + passed pawn) should be faster and more automatic — you want set sequences you can execute in 2–3 seconds.
• Pre‑move and mouse‑accuracy risk: avoid auto‑premoves in positions where a capture or check changes the outcome (queening, backrank threats, discovered checks).

Concrete drills and practice plan (bullet-focused)

• 10×5 min bullet sessions with targets: every game, force yourself to simplify into a winning pawn ending when ahead. If you can't, make one safe trade per game. Track flag losses — goal: halve them this week.
• Tactics sprint: 10 minutes daily solving 1–3 move tactics (forks, pins, mates). Aim to recognize motifs in 2–5 seconds — this improves instinctive play in bullet.
• Endgame reps: drill 10 classic conversions — king+rook vs king, king+pawn vs king, distant passed pawn technique. Use a 1–2 minute blitz or set positions and play them out quickly until execution is smooth.
• Opening triage: study one Scandinavian Defense mainline per session (10–15 minutes), focusing on the three most common opponent replies and one reliable plan for you. Or drop it in favor of a safer line with a higher personal win rate (look at Amar Gambit / Hungarian Opening — your stats are better there).
• Mouse & premove policy: practice “no premove in tactical positions” for a session. If you premove, only allow captures that cannot be refuted by simple checks.

Game notes — useful quick takeaways

• Win vs Kevin Su — you grabbed pawns and turned them into a passed g‑pawn that promoted potential. Good judgement: when you saw the pawn march, you removed distractions and pushed the pawn. Keep doing this: create a single clear plan (push the passer).
• Loss vs luneity — the game ended on time. You had dynamic chances but spent too much clock on sequences that could be simplified. When ahead materially or positionally, trade pieces and play precise, fast moves.
• Draw/loss cluster vs luneity pair — recurring pattern: tactical middlegames that transition to long rook‑endgames where your clock was low. Practice short‑cut conversion patterns in rook endings so you can win them with 5–10 seconds on the clock.

Short tactical checklist for your next session

• If you’re up material: trade queens and seek a fast conversion plan (pawn push + king activation).
• If you’re low on time: switch to the “safe moves” mindset — force trades, avoid long forcing calculations, don’t chase theoretical best moves if a 1‑second simple move preserves the win.
• Before premoving a capture: ask “Is there a check or promotion or intermezzo that refutes this?” If yes, don’t premove.
• Pick two openings to focus on for a month: one aggressive (where you score well) and one solid defensive line. Study 3–4 typical middlegames for each.

Next session goals (tiny, measurable)

• Play 20 bullet games with the rule: no premove in which the opponent can check you — track flag losses and reduce them by 50%.
• Complete 5 rook‑endgame drills from memory in under 2 minutes each.
• Study one Scandinavian line for 15 minutes and save two clean reply templates to use next game.

If you want I can…

• Build a 2‑week training schedule tailored to your openings and time control.
• Create a pocket list of 10 premove-safe patterns and 10 conversion patterns for rook/pawn endings.
• Annotate one loss of your choice move‑by‑move with short, bullet‑practical alternatives.
