Great job, hungry_plate! You have a solid win rate adjusted for opponent strength of about 55% and have improved your rating by 21 points in the past month, with a strong upward trend over the last 6 months. This shows consistent and meaningful progress in your blitz games.
What You're Doing Well
Opening Preparation: Your choice of openings like the Sicilian Defense, Scandinavian Defense, and Nimzowitsch-Larsen Attack is varied and often leads to good positions. You showed good knowledge and follow-through in your recent wins.
Aggressive Play: You effectively applied pressure and tactical awareness, as seen in games where you capitalized on opponent errors and forced resignations or checkmates.
Calculation Under Time Pressure: Winning several blitz games and securing victories by checkmate indicates good ability to calculate quickly and accurately.
Areas to Focus On for Improvement
Handling Complex Middle Games: In recent losses, opponents gained advantage by exploiting weak squares or poorly coordinated pieces in the middle game. Focus on improving piece activity and safety.
Opening Traps and Tactics: Some losses suggest falling into early tactical disadvantages or losing material. Reviewing common traps and tactical motifs in your opening repertoire, especially against aggressive lines, can help.
Endgame Technique: While you have ended some games early, practicing key endgames could help convert more tight positions into wins and recover from slight disadvantages.
Time Management: Some quick resignations or lost positions might be due to time pressure. Try to maintain a steady pace and avoid rushed moves in critical moments.
Practical Next Steps
Analyze the losses linked below by focusing on your critical moves around move 10-20 where the game position began to deteriorate.
Study tactical exercises related to pinning, forks, and discovered attacks to avoid falling victim to simple traps.
Review key endgames (like rook and pawn endings) to increase your confidence in game-finishing positions.
Play practice games focusing on time management, setting a goal to keep at least 15 seconds on your clock after 15 moves.
