1. What you already do very well

• Consistent, sound openings – your trademark 1. Nf3/1. b3 systems score well even against 2500-level opposition. In the win against Hamdi Mehri you smoothly reached a comfortable structure and took over the dark squares with c4/Qf3/Rad1.
• Tactical alertness – the sequence 33.Qe8+!–35.Rfxf6!! in that same game is a model of calculating forcing lines under bullet time pressure.
• Piece activity in bullet – you rarely leave pieces undeveloped; rapid mobilisation helps you generate practical chances when the clocks run low.

2. Biggest rating gains for the least effort

1. Time management: turn “lost-on-time” into wins
   Five of your last six defeats were flagged positions in objectively drawn or even better endgames.
   • Try a short streak of 3 + 2 games; force yourself to use the increment instead of berserk tactics.
   • In pure bullet, adopt a “Zero-1-4” rule – never let your clock drop below 1 second until move 40, then below 0.4.
   
2. Endgame conversion: convert winning rook endings faster
   From the loss vs face77 the position after 52…Rg6 was still holdable; hesitation cost you all the time. Study one thematic rook-endgame a day (Lucena, Philidor, Vancura) this week. Bullet or not, knowing the blueprint saves seconds.
3. Plug the “back-rank & dark-square” holes with Black
   Two recent mates (…Qh5# vs tikvata, …f8=Q# vs Silvio Andrés Llorens) share the pattern: unchallenged enemy queen on the 7th/8th, your king cut off by own pawns. Insert one of these safety measures:
   • After castling, push h6 or h5 early in Modern/KID set-ups to give the king luft.
   • Trade queens when you voluntarily play …b5/b4; it stops king-side counter-play on dark squares.

3. Opening tune-ups (quick fixes, not a rebuild)

4. Two exercises picked from your own games

1. Calculate the winning line – position after 34.Qxd7 in your win vs Hampovsky.
   
   
   
2. Find Black’s only defence – position after 25.Ne4 in your loss vs mrhz.

6. Quick reference

• Current bullet peak: 2519 (2025-06-12)
• Repertoire glossary: Prophylaxis, Centralisation, Zeitnot

7. One-week action plan

• Day 1–3: 20 puzzles/day focused on pins & deflections.
• Day 4: Annotate three of your “lost-on-time but better” games, write a one-line lesson for each.
• Day 5–7: Play 15 games of 3 + 2; aim for ⩾ 70 % clock time remaining at move 30.

Good luck, have fun, and keep rolling those trolleys across the board!
