What you're doing well

You demonstrated strong tactical awareness in recent blitz games, finishing with a clean mating sequence in a win. This shows you can spot forcing lines when the position opens up and convert initiative into a decisive result.

You also have broad opening experience, particularly with the Nimzo-Larsen style setups, and you navigate dynamic middlegames with active piece play. Your ability to switch gears and chase activity is a solid foundation to build on in fast time controls.

Areas to improve

• Time management in blitz: aim to reach a clear plan within the first few moves and avoid getting stuck in long, unclear middlegames. Practice short, fast decision-making drills to improve consistency under pressure.
• Endgame technique: work on common endgames you reach (for example, queen vs rook endings and rook endgames with pawns). Learn when to simplify and when to keep tensions to maximize chances to convert advantages.
• Opening consolidation: your data shows mixed results across openings. Focus on 1–2 openings you like and study their typical middlegame plans and common responses. Build a simple, repeatable move order and plan so you don’t get surprised early in the game.
• Tactical pattern reinforcement: continue sharpening tactics daily (short puzzles focusing on forks, pins, and discovered checks) to preserve your ability to spot winning ideas quickly in blitz.
• Pattern awareness in the middlegame: pay attention to pawn structures and piece activity that arise from your chosen openings. If your pieces become passive or lines become blocked, seek active routes, such as different king and rook mobilizations or activating the queen via a flank file.

Two-week plan to level up

• Daily: 15–20 minutes of tactics practice with focus on motifs that appear in your games (forks, pins, discovered checks). Aim for steady, pattern-based improvement rather than chasing complexity.
• Opening study: select 1 main opening you enjoy (and one backup) and drill 6–8 key lines. Write down the typical middlegame goals for each line so you can apply them quickly in blitz.
• Endgame focus: learn two simple endgames well (for example, rook + pawn vs rook, and basic queen vs rook endgames) and practice converting small advantages in short training sessions.
• Post-game review habit: after each blitz game, jot down one plan you had at move 5 that you executed well, and one decision you would change next time. This builds quick, actionable self-review.

Next steps and small wins

• Track openings that underperform and prune lines that consistently lead to uncomfortable middlegames; replace with healthier alternatives that keep you active.
• Use a short post-game note ritual after each blitz game to reinforce a habit of quick, targeted learning and to reinforce plans that worked.
