Quick summary

Nice session — you converted multiple tactical and endgame chances and finished a clean string of wins. Your Sicilian with an early bishop to c4 is working as a practical, aggressive system for blitz. A couple of games show the difference between excellent technique (you converting passed pawns and invading with rooks) and one game where passive king/rook play let an outside passed pawn decide the result.

What you did well

• Clear eye for winners: you repeatedly found strong tactical shots that win material or simplify into winning endgames — e.g., the rook capture to win material and the follow-up simplifications in your win vs Lucas Aguiar Cunha.
• Passed pawn technique: in the wins you created and pushed outside passed pawns confidently, racing to promotion and using rooks to support the advance — excellent practical play under time pressure (see the pawn march and queening vs ov_n_03).
• Active rooks: you used rook lifts and seventh-rank ideas to create decisive threats instead of passively shuffling — that won you the decisive mating attack in the game vs chessiosaurus.
• Opening choice and consistency: your repeated use of the bishop-to-c4 Sicilian lines gives you straightforward plans and targets. You’re getting good results from that setup (Sicilian Defense).

Main areas to improve

• Rook and pawn endgames — king activity: your loss vs Emil Mehraliyev shows the classical mistake of not centralizing/activating your king early enough in a pawn race. In rook/pawn endings, the king must often become the attacker or blockade — practice routes to centralize the king faster.
• Dealing with outside passed pawns: when the opponent gets a far-advanced pawn, use your rook behind the pawn or aim to create counterplay on the other side. Don’t trade into a position where their passed pawn’s path is clear.
• Time management in blitz: several of your wins had you playing with very little time remaining. Keep a few “automatic” opening moves and short, safe plans for the first 8–10 moves so you don’t burn time; reserve the bulk of your clock for critical middle/endgame decisions.
• Anticipate opponent counterplay before simplifying: you often simplify after winning a tactical skirmish — that’s usually correct, but double-check that simplification doesn’t leave the opponent a dangerous passed pawn or an active king.

Key moments to review (concrete)

• Endgame vs ov_n_03 — great convert: study how you used your rook activity plus the outside passed pawn to force the queen/pawn exchange and a clear winning plan.
• Tactical finish vs chessiosaurus — you eliminated the defender and created a mating net with the rooks. Replay that finish to see the motifs you can reuse: rook lift, infiltration, back-rank vulnerabilities.
• Loss vs Emil Mehraliyev — focus on the phase where the opponent’s pawns advanced on the queenside. Ask: could my king have reached the queenside two moves earlier? Could my rook have attacked the pawn from behind? Those two questions often change the outcome in pawn races.

Practical 2‑week training plan

• Daily tactics: 12–20 puzzles/day focusing on mating nets, rook tactics, and promotions (15–25 minutes).
• Endgame drills (4× per week, 20 minutes): rook vs rook endings, rook + pawn vs rook, outside passed pawn technique. Use simple positions and play them out until conversion or hold.
• One annotated game/week: take a recent loss or a close win (your loss vs Emil Mehraliyev is perfect). Replay it slowly, write down the candidate moves and compare with your choices.
• Blitz habit change: in live blitz, play the first 8–12 moves in 3–5 seconds each when you’re in a familiar line — this builds a time buffer for the complex phase later.

Drills & micro-skills to practice

• Rook behind passed pawn — set up positions and practice the three ideas: blockade, capture-from-behind, and creating a second passed pawn on the other side.
• King activity race — practice king walks in pawn endgames: who reaches the square first and why. Time yourself to make this habitual in blitz.
• Quick tactical check routine — before trading, quickly scan for the opponent’s strongest counter-threat (passed pawn pushes, infiltration squares, checks). If you make this a 3‑second habit you’ll avoid most “simplify-and-lose” moments.

Pick one of the three recent wins or the loss and I’ll walk through the critical 6–10 move window with line-by-line alternatives and a short set of practice positions to drill.

• Win (checkmate): chessiosaurus — I can show the mating sequence and the exact defensive resources you exploited.
• Loss (endgame): Emil Mehraliyev — we can replay the final 20 moves and find where king/rook activity could have changed the result.

Final note

You're doing a lot of things right for blitz: tactical vision, pawn promotion technique, and aggressive rook play. Tightening endgame technique and time management will turn those good wins into an even steadier streak.
