Areas for Improvement
Looking at your recent losses and the openings where you perform less strongly, here are some growth opportunities:

- Time Management: Some losses were on time or errors late in the game. Practicing time control and rapid calculation under pressure could boost results.
- Complex endgame technique: Recent games indicate some struggles transitioning to endgames. Reviewing fundamental endgame principles may improve your ability to convert advantages.
- Consistency in mid-game decision making: Avoiding tactical oversights in complicated positions could prevent losses. Slow down slightly on critical moves and double-check tactics.
Practical Tips for Your Next Blitz Sessions
- Continue using openings that fit your style but review the main lines and sidelines of the French Defense and Caro-Kann to shore up weaknesses.
- Train with puzzles focusing on tactical alertness, especially in positions common in your losses.
- Improve time management by practicing increment control; allocate more time for complex positions.
- Analyse critical games, especially losses, to identify recurring tactical or strategic mistakes.
- Maintain a balanced training routine of openings, tactics, and endgames for well-rounded improvement.
