Hi QlonF! 👋 Here is some personalized feedback to accelerate your climb toward the next rating milestone.
Quick Snapshot
- Current Bullet peak: 2314 (2023-02-03)
- Aggressive repertoire with 1.e4 as White and …c5 / …g6 set-ups as Black.
- Favourite weapon: early f-pawn thrusts (f3 / f4 / f5) to seize space and open lines.
- Typical result distribution by hour:
What You’re Doing Well ✅
- Piece activity from move 1. Your wins against gurjotkainth and HustlatheGreat show how quickly you mobilise every piece and keep them on central squares.
- Tactical alertness. Motifs such as the double-knight fork (22.Nxf5!) and the exchange-sac on f6/b5 appear repeatedly and score well for you. Your eye for the immediate tactics is a real asset in 1-minute games.
- Conversion technique under pressure. You often finish with
+4or more on the clock, suggesting you can “pre-move” confidently once the position is won.
Main Growth Areas 🔧
1. Bullet Time Management
Roughly 40 % of recent games (both wins and losses) ended on the clock. Try these tweaks:
- Opening book-speed. Memorise 10-12 ply of your main lines so the first 15 seconds are virtually instant.
- Decision rule. If you are below 15 seconds, prioritise keeping the initiative & threats over finding “best” moves—force the opponent to think.
- Consider a short warm-up set of 3 “ultra-bullet” games before rated sessions to get the mouse and mind in sync.
2. Black Repertoire vs 1.b3 / Reti-type Systems
Your lone recorded loss to alexanderthegreatmove started 1.b3 and you adopted a Scheveningen structure with …f6/…e5. The dark-square weaknesses on e6 & g6 cost you. Two suggestions:
- Answer 1.b3 with 1…e5 or 1…d5 and treat it like a reversed Nimzo-Larssen. Keep the center pawns flexible; no need for an early …f6.
- If you want to stay in Sicilian territory (1…c5), delay …f6 and instead develop with …Nc6, …e5, …Nge7, guarding d5 before expanding.
3. Handling French Structures as White
The loss vs theartofdeidara featured the Classical French. You exchanged on f6 and allowed …c5 & …h5, handing Black the light-square initiative. Consider:
- Switching to the 3.Nd2 Tarrasch in bullet—fewer forcing lines to remember, but still keeps the game complex.
- If you stay with 3.Nc3 & 4.Bg5, avoid premature exchanges on f6; keep tension and aim for the thematic queen-side expansion with c4/a4.
4. Endgame Clean-Up
Your victory over Vratanov reached a rook endgame with extra pawns but needed 40+ moves. In bullet that’s fine, but in longer formats you’ll want crisper technique:
- Study the “Lucena” and “Philidor” positions—5 patterns cover 80 % of rook endgames you’ll see.
- Practise them in the “Drill” tool versus the computer until you can mate or hold in <10 seconds.
Illustrative Tactic 🎯
From your win vs gurjotkainth, moves 32–40 show relentless piece activity leading to mate threats:
Action Plan for the Next 30 Games 📈
- Play a mini-match (10 games) with only Black against 1.Nf3/1.b3, testing a single, solid reply (e.g. 1…d5).
- Drill 20 French Tarrasch positions from both sides to feel comfortable switching openings.
- Spend 5 minutes per day on a themed puzzle set focused on “knight forks” and “clearance sacrifices” to sharpen existing strengths.
Keep the Momentum!
Your creativity and tactical eye make you a feared bullet opponent. Add a touch more opening discipline and endgame clarity and the next peak is just around the corner. Good luck, and enjoy your games! ♟️
