Quick summary

Nice run — you’re winning a lot of fast games and your rating trend is climbing. Your recent wins show sharp tactical awareness, quick exploitation of loose pieces, and an ability to finish with a direct attack (including a clean queen mate). A fair number of wins were on time, which tells me you put consistent pressure on the clock as well as on the board.

Example game (review)

Here’s the mate from your win where you finish with a queen infiltration. Replay it to see the tactical motifs and how you forced the final line:

What you do well

• Fast tactical vision — you spot checks, forks and mating nets quickly and punish opponents who leave pieces hanging.
• Putting pressure on the clock — many wins came by time and by keeping opponents uncomfortable in the clock. That’s a useful bullet skill.
• Opening variety — you’re comfortable with aggressive systems and gambits (your Amar Gambit / Amazon Attack / Alekhine results are strong). That gives you practical chances early in the game.
• Conversion ability — when you get a material edge you usually keep up the pressure and convert rather than blundering it away immediately.

Biggest areas to improve (high impact)

• Time management: wins on time are great, but relying on flagging isn't always scalable. With 60+1 games you get 1 second per move — learn to use that increment by making safe, fast moves in quiet positions so you don’t hit the tank later.
• Pre-move discipline: premove is a bullet weapon but also a trap. Only premove when the move is forced (capture back, recapture, obvious recapture) or when opponent checks and you can safely answer.
• Opening focus: you have many different openings. For bullet, consolidate a small, reliable repertoire of 2–3 systems so you reach playable middlegames instantly and save clock time.
• Tactical accuracy under time pressure: you spot tactics quickly — now reduce the occasional “hope chess” errors when low on time. Practice rapid calculation drills to keep accuracy at 5–10 seconds per move.

Concrete drills & short study plan (daily / weekly)

• Daily: 10–20 minutes on tactics trains (puzzles with a 10–30s target). Focus on forks, pins, discovered attacks and mate patterns (back-rank, smothered).
• 3× week: 3–5 bullet games but with the goal “practice X”, e.g. only use your chosen Sicilian line or only practice converting endgames.
• Weekly: 30 minutes of focused opening work — pick 2 main bullet openings (one with White, one with Black) and learn 3 move orders each so you don’t think in move 1–8.
• Timer drills: play 3 games at 3+0 and force yourself to reach move 10 in < 30 seconds. This builds speed without losing accuracy.
• One-postmortem rule: after each loss, spend 2 minutes to note the single reason you lost (time, blunder, opening surprise). Fix that one thing next session.

Practical mental/clock tips for bullet

• Use the increment: if you have 1 second per move, make safe moves quickly to bank time later. Don’t spend 10+ seconds in positions with no tactics.
• When ahead in material, trade to simplify and make the opponent spend time finding tricks — simplified positions are easier to convert with low time.
• Avoid speculative sacrifices when your clock is low — winning on the board is great, but not when you flag because of an unclear sac.
• Play the opponent’s clock: if they move slowly, keep simple developing moves and keep them under pressure rather than forcing complications you must calculate deeply.

Opening & repertoire notes

• Your results show big success with gambits and sharper lines (Amar Gambit, Sicilian Alapin, Alekhine). Keep those as your “rush” weapons in bullet.
• For defenses: pick one solid, easy-to-play setup (avoid too many tricky sidelines). That reduces first-move time waste and keeps you in familiar territory.
• If you want to keep the Bishop’s Opening style you used in the mate game, study the common knight jumps and pins that arise — they recur often and give decisive tempo advantages (see Bishop's Opening).

Next-game checklist (copy-paste before each bullet)

• Have 1 thing to practice (e.g. premove only safe recaptures).
• Open with a prepared line — don’t waste time in move 1–6.
• If you’re up material, simplify. If you’re down, complicate and flag-hunt if necessary.
• If the opponent’s flag is low, tighten the position and avoid risky moves that give counterplay.

If you want, I can...

• Run a short annotated review of 2 of your losses to find repeating mistakes.
• Build a compact 6–8 move bullet repertoire for White and Black to save time in the opening.
• Create a 2-week drill plan focused on accuracy under 10 seconds per move.

Mention which option you'd like and I’ll prepare the plan.
