Activity snapshots:
What you already do well
- Fighting spirit in bullet: At 60-second time controls you win many games on time. Quick decision-making is a real asset.
- Opportunistic tactics: When pieces hang you’re not afraid to grab them (e.g. 15…Nxb4! vs manhunt15 and 9…Bxh3! vs winni02).
- Open-line play with bishops and rooks: In several wins you doubled rooks on open files or placed bishops on strong diagonals—excellent instincts for activity.
Biggest improvement levers
- Time management balance.
• 70 % of your losses are on time, yet most wins are also on time.
• Try increment games (e.g. 1 + 1 or 3 + 2) to practise thinking a bit deeper without flagging.
• Use the clock as a resource—spend a few extra seconds at critical moments instead of premoving everything. - Sound opening fundamentals.
A recurring pattern is early queen adventures (Qh5/Qf3/Qe2) and pawn thrusts (f4/g4) before development. This invites tactics against you.
Action plan:
• White: play simple lines such as the Italian Game (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4) or London System (1.d4 2.Nf3 3.Bf4).
• Black vs 1.e4: start with 1…e5 and learn the first 5 moves of the Scotch and Italian—no need for exotic gambits yet.
• Focus on three golden rules: control the center, develop minor pieces, castle early. - Blunder prevention.
Your last loss ended after 10…Nxc2+, forking king, rook and queen. This was avoidable with a 5-second safety check (“What are my opponent’s threats?”).
Drill: Before every move ask, “Are any of my pieces en prise? Can my opponent create a fork or pin?”
Illustrative moment
In the loss to MustafaEtker you resigned here:
• White’s queen moved three times in ten moves; meanwhile kings and rooks stayed in the centre.
• After 9…Ncd4 the threat Nxc2+ was visible. A quick safety scan would have spotted it.
Take-away: finish development first, then launch pawn storms.
Concrete next steps (4-week plan)
- Tactics training – 15 puzzles/day on forks, double attacks and pins. Try to score 80 % accuracy before moving up.
- Opening checklist – For every game, tick: (a) Center pawn moved, (b) Knights out, (c) Bishops out, (d) King castled by move 10.
- Game review habit – After each session pick one win and one loss, replay in slow-motion and identify one blunder from each side.
- Longer games once a week – Play a 10 + 5 game on the weekend to practise deeper thinking; note critical positions and discuss them with a stronger friend or a coach.
Motivation corner
You already show creativity and tactical flair—the hardest qualities to teach. By adding a layer of discipline (solid openings & blunder checks) you can realistically reach 800–900 within a few months. Keep the passion, train smart, and your win-rate chart will tilt even further in your favour!
