GrandmasterOfPuppets – Performance Snapshot
Your recent blitz games show excellent tactical awareness and fighting spirit. However, several avoidable time losses hide your true strength. A few targeted tweaks will convert many of those “0-1 on time” results into wins.
What’s working
- Sharp calculation under pressure. The finish 38.Rg4+ Kh3 39.Rxh5# against astroetereo demonstrates confidence in complex tactics with seconds left on the clock.
- Dynamic openings. With White you seize space early (f3–f4 lines, 3.f3 vs Pirc); with Black you adopt flexible …g6 set-ups that keep the position unbalanced.
- Conversion once ahead. When you reach a material plus you usually reel the game in efficiently. Your Benoni win versus zurital is a textbook example.
High-impact fixes
- Clock discipline.
• 4 of the last 5 defeats were on time in roughly equal positions.
• New rule: stay above 50 % of starting time after move 15.
• Play a daily 3 + 2 session for a week; the increment trains you to move before the “panic zone”. - Rook-ending fundamentals.
In the loss to RAVI KUMAR 28…Kg7! followed by …Re8 would have held easily. Spend ten minutes per day on basic rook vs pawn endings. - Fine-tune the Bogo-Indian.
After 4.Bd2 c5 5.Bxb4 cxb4 you played 6.g3. Theory favours 6.a3! undermining the b4-pawn immediately:
- Avoid automatic …c6 in the Italian.
Versus saveelephants the routine 13…c6?! weakened d6. Consider 13…Qe7 planning …d5 and only then decide on …c6.
One-week micro-plan
- Mon/Wed/Fri – 20 tactical puzzles (≤ 90 s each).
- Tue/Thu – Review two personal rook endings with tablebase.
- Weekend – Play two 15 + 10 games focusing solely on time management; self-annotate one.
