Federico Andrea Maccari

Hi Federico (MacKari95)!

Your recent streak of fast-paced 1-minute games shows an energetic, tactical style that is great fun to watch. Below is a concise review of your current form together with actionable suggestions for the next training cycle.

Quick snapshot

• Peak bullet rating: 2360 (2025-02-21)
• Tactical alertness: excellent at spotting forcing sequences (see your 26…Qg2# vs socccer4lfe).
• Preferred openings as White: 1.e4 with King’s Gambit & Alekhine Exchange lines.
• Preferred defences as Black: Sicilian (…c5) vs e4 and flexible Nf6/…d5 set-ups vs d4.

Strengths to keep nurturing

1. Initiative-oriented play – you willingly sacrifice pawns/tempo to gain initiative. This is ideal for bullet.
2. Practical calculation speed – in the win against rostropovich1 you converted a pawn-race endgame with d6–d7 under 10 s.
3. Piece activity sense – you often coordinate rooks on open files very early (e.g. 17.Rac1 vs marsa29).

Top priorities for improvement

1. Clock management
   • Five of your last six losses were on time or in severe time trouble.
   • Build a habit to pre-move safe recaptures and play book moves instantly in familiar positions.
2. Defensive resilience
   A single mis-placed king often costs the game in bullet. In the loss to moxous you allowed 21…Rh8 22.gxh5 Qg8! and the mating net arrived before you could regroup.
   • Add 5-minute “defence only” sparring sessions: start from inferior positions and focus on not getting mated.
3. Endgame precision
   You resigned the following queen-vs-passed-pawn ending even though practical drawing chances still existed (perpetual checks / stalemate traps):
   
   
   
   • Weekly drill: 10 random rook-pawn vs queen endings to improve resourcefulness.

Opening corner

Playing 1.e4 f4 (King’s Gambit) and aggressive Wing Gambits is perfect for blitz, but against masters (e.g. larsvanschooten) you reached hard-to-defend structures. Spend one study session on each of these:

• Anti-Sicilian: test 2.Nf3 & 3.Bb5(+) lines – fewer forced tactics, more positional pressure.
• Safe bullet repertoire vs 1.e4: keep your Sicilian, but add a solid fallback (…e5 or …d5 Scandinavian) for days you feel slower.

Suggested weekly plan (2-hour total)

1. 30 min Puzzle Rush & custom tactics with under 30-second timers.
2. 30 min thematic endgames (rook endings, pawn races, fortress building).
3. 30 min opening flash cards – remember key bullet “instant” moves.
4. 30 min slow (10 + 0) games to practice time balance & calculation depth.

Final encouragement

Your attacking flair already puts you above 2200 in bullet – polish the defensive and time-handling aspects and 2300+ will follow soon. Enjoy the grind and keep the games coming!
