Hi Jorge (jeggerm)!

Great work reaching 2129 (2020-06-10) and maintaining a fighting style in ultra-fast time controls. Your recent games show an energetic, initiative-driven approach that often forces opponents to burn their clocks. Below is some targeted feedback to help you convert more of those “won-on-time” results into clean tactical or end-game victories.

What You’re Doing Well

• Early Initiative: Frequent pawn storms (h4/h5, f4/f5) and piece activity create practical problems for your rivals.
• Piece Coordination in Bullet: Quick fianchetto setups (…g6, …Bg7) allow you to castle and centralize rooks efficiently.
• Time Management vs. Opponents: Many wins arrive with >10 seconds still on your clock—good use of premoves and simple plans in mutual time scrambles.

Opportunities for Improvement

• Clock vs. Position Balance: Four of your last five losses were also on time. Aim to simplify winning positions earlier so you can bullet-proof (pun intended) the finale with premoves.
• King Safety in Pawn Storms: In the loss to ahmed_farag135246 (Caro-Kann), 20…g5 left dark squares tender and cost extra moves to defend. Before advancing flanks, ask “What squares become weak?”
• Converting Material Advantages: Even when up a rook (vs. akksay) the game drifted into a time scramble. Practice basic winning techniques (e.g. lucena, rook ladder) so conversion becomes automatic.
• Opening Depth: Your Modern/King’s Indian setups are solid, but against 1.d4 you sometimes mix ideas (…d6 & …c5) that leave holes on d6 and b6. Consider a fixed repertoire line to save clock.

Illustrative Moments

Nice Tactic – Turning Pressure into Material

(from your win vs. big-k)

[[Pgn| 21...Rfd8 22.b4 Ba6 23.Bxc6 Rxc6 24.Qxc6 Qxc6 25.Rxc6 Bb5 26.Rc7 a6 27.d7! ]]

The d-pawn sprint combined with the active rook netted decisive material—excellent awareness!

Missed Simplification – Bullet Trap

(from your loss vs. Ahmed_farag135246)

[[Pgn| 27.Ng5+ Ke8 28.Nxe6 Rg8 29.Qh5+ Qxh5 30.Rxh5 Ndxe5 ]]

After 27.Ng5+ you were winning, but spending three extra moves chasing the queen let the clock bleed. In bullet, grab the piece and instantly trade queens to reach a winning ending.

Action Plan

1. End-Game Drills (10 min/day): Practice basic rook & pawn endings until you can premove them. This converts your typical extra rook into immediate checkmate, not a flag race.
2. The 20-Second Rule: When your clock dips under 20 s, switch to a safety net strategy—trade queens, push passed pawns, avoid zwischenzug complications.
3. Opening Toolkit: Pick one anti-London and one anti-Colle line and memorize the first seven moves. The saved time can be redeployed later.
4. Review Lost Bullet Games Offline: Quickly step through each move and ask, “Could I have simplified?” Often a single trade would have sealed the win.

Keep Up the Momentum!

You’re clearly on an upward trajectory. Sharpening a few technical areas will let your tactical flair shine without relying solely on the clock.

Good luck on the board, and see you in the 2800 bullet club soon!
