Hello. Does anyone have time to review some of my games, and tell me what part of my Game needs the most work (opening, mid-game/tactics, end game) I am pushing towards 1400 in 30 minute games (up 285 rating points since I quit playing bullet game, rating there was nearly 1500 at one time)
You really could use to shore up your opening tactics, you often move pawns when you should move a piece. Also, I'd say have some type of answer to d4 that you know the basics of how to respond.

Your most recent game. What was up with the 7 Ng5 knight sacrifice? Didn't you notice your opponent's queen? How about his pawn threatening your other knight?
I have the feeling you play the same moves game after game and do not even look at your opponent's moves.
Well, in your most recent 3 losses you lost a pawn for nothing in the opening, so the short answer would be to pay more attention in the opening. These were all 30 minute games so it's worth taking your time.
I agree with the above, 1.d4 g6 is not working very well for you. You should find something else that will not get you blown away in the center, preferably starting with 1...d5.
Baptistpreach - thank you for your response, and I will certainly take that into consideration going forward.
Notmtwaim - no lie, that was a blunder. Thankfully, I was able to get back from it.

GreenCastleBlock - thank for that recommendations. I played g6 bc I saw Magnus play it a few times and did wonders with it. He is on another level though, I will try d5 next time I see it.
