Your rating progress is impressive, with a 7-point increase over the last month and a notable gain of 69 points over the last three months. The positive trends in your rating slope over 1, 3, 6, and 12 months indicate consistent improvement, especially the sharp rise in the last month.
Strengths from Recent Games
- Opening Prep: You are comfortable with openings like the Nimzowitsch-Larsen-Attack and Reti Opening, consistently reaching solid middle games.
- Time Management: You handle the bullet time controls well, often managing your clock effectively till the end game.
- Endgame Technique: You have demonstrated good endgame conversions, winning several games when having a material or positional advantage.
Areas for Improvement
Despite the progress, here are some points to consider for further enhancement:
- Handling the Nimzowitsch-Larsen Attack: While comfortable with this opening, analyze your losses in this system where pressure from your opponents led to early resignations. Improving your tactical awareness in the middle game could prevent early setbacks.
- Pawn Structure and Space Control: Some games showed weaknesses in pawn moves that allowed opponents to gain space or active piece play, especially in the center and queenside.
- Queen Activity: In a few critical moments, your queen could have been more active or better defended; study games where your queen was exchanged or forced into passive positions.
- Opening Variety: While specialization is good, consider broadening your opening repertoire to better handle various opponent responses and avoid predictability.
Recommendations for Training
- Review the specific lines from your losses around move 15-25, focusing on tactical patterns and positional errors.
- Study typical pawn breaks and structures in your preferred openings to maintain control of key squares.
- Practice bullet tactics drills to sharpen your calculation speed under time pressure.
- Analyze high-level games using the Nimzowitsch-Larsen Attack to understand modern plans and ideas.
- Pay attention to time pressure situations in bullet to minimize mistakes during critical moments.
Positive Outlook
Your steady rating improvement and solid win record in bullet games suggest you are on the right track. Keep working on the identified areas, and with continued practice, your bullet performance will become even stronger.
