What you are doing well

  • Alert tactical vision. The French–Franco-Sicilian win against muradchessborntv showed crisp calculation:

  • Dangerous initiative with White. In the pseudo-Austrian attack you kept Black’s king in the centre and converted quickly.
  • Bullet instinct. Many victories come from forcing practical problems quickly (…c5, …f5) and keeping the clock pressure on your opponent.

Main growth areas

  • Early queen adventures. Both recent defeats vs BuGMonster and chepf began with premature Qxf6 / unprovoked queen moves. In bullet, keeping the queen home = fewer blunders.
  • Loose pawn grabs in the Modern Defense/Owen’s Defense. You regularly play …b6 or …g6 and then allow dxe6/Bxe6 sacs that open your king. Study model games where Black delays …e6/…d6 until the king is safer.
  • Time management in winning endgames. The loss on time vs Jacek Gęsicki came from playing a won rook ending too slowly. In bullet, convert with forcing checks or pre-moves once the win is clear.

Opening tune-up

• Against 1.e4, keep your current Modern Defense but add a simple main-line choice (…d5 break) so you’re not always in double-fianchetto positions.
• With White vs 1…b6 or 1…g6 you score well; vs 1…d5 (Scandinavian/Benoni) aim for safer set-ups: develop pieces before hunting pawns.
• Do a 15-minute “drill” each day: load a Lichess study or Chess.com explorer and replay 25 moves of a model game without moving pieces. Purpose: get skeleton moves into muscle memory so you save seconds in bullet.

Concrete practice plan (next 7 days)

  1. 10 tactical puzzles/day with a 1-minute timer — stops the “queen blunder” habit.
  2. Analyse two lost games daily; write one sentence on why the critical blunder happened.
  3. Play 5 slower games (5|5 or 10|0) this week to reinforce disciplined development.

Final encouragement

Your aggressive style is a huge asset. Polish the openings a bit and add a time-conversion routine in winning endings, and 2600+ bullet is within reach.
Keep the pieces active, keep the queen patient, and enjoy the grind!
