Look at my games and give me pointers

i think you should start by fixing the amount of bullet you're playing

stop bullet (and if possible blitz) and just focus on rapid. you'll see improvements fast

I was just playing bullet today and yesterday because I was bored, I don't usually play it that much

you played 190 bullet games the past month

make it 0 next month

I also played 190 rapid games

yeah ik but it's just inconsistent

if you want to play chess for fun, then that's fine, but if you would like to improve focus only on rapid along with combining analysis and other things

Yeah I probably need to be more consitent, but this is slightly derailing from the original topic, so can you give me some pointers pleases

Hi,
If you’re looking for detailed game reviews, feel free to DM me — I’m a Chess.com‑verified coach and I work with students one‑on‑one.

Best,

We're the same level. We can practice together and help each other if you wish

I can't believe I had you as an opponent in one blitz tournament (as I've seen a lot of forum comments and I believe you know me too). And I even managed to beat you I can't believe it as you are almost 300 elo higher in blitz...

Oh on topic again (hopefully): You made one important mistake when we were both pushing our pawns to make queens: I was faster and could give you a check with my new queen, maybe you could have stopped my pawn with your rook and I believe you would have won.

#10 I think you caught me tilted, that's why

But yeah, I had five moves to try and move the rook to a good place, it was a mistake

Hmm I reviewed the game and yeah we both made bad mistakes but I got 81% accuracy (I'm always proud when I can reach 80%) and you 75% which is solid.

I admit I was lucky I was in a better shape than in most other games today or yesterday. I also beat another 600 elo in blitz today. But I can easily lose against below 200 blitz aswell. Almost every day I can become a lord of tilt. I'm extremely inconsistent.

#8 Not looking for paid coaching right now, sorry

i can see you started playing 30|0 which is a good thing, but i think it's better to stick with 10|0 for now. y'all barely use 10 minutes from the clock lol

and i think 10 minutes will make you play "more games" which will get you to see more patterns.

also....stop bullet completely ;-;

It was only 30 moves in my most recent one where I used 7 or so minutes. It probably would have ended up going over 10 minutes if they didn't abandon. Even though I had an 8 point material advantage I still would've had to be careful

In the above position, you missed a chance to win a bishop by trapping it.

Two moves later, you missed the chance to win a knight by trapping it

I looked at that game in game review and saw I missed it

well, just keep taking into account such mistakes to remember in the next game

Knights.

Train yourself to anticipate a knight’s movements. To handle an opposing knight, you have to think at least two moves ahead. Like what happens if it moves two squares forward. Yep, that’s a fork.

This piece causes a lot problems for you. I think that it's either overlooked by you or causing you, short of nervous (i.e outpost) in tight or cramped positions.
