I just not believe a 1448 rated player (lauradavis) can not defeat an early queen. Usually, I love when the opponent plays early queens, because it is nice to trap her or grab material.
That is why I believe most of users rated +1300 uses chess programs to cheat and increase the rating.
Play solid and quick and you win a lot games.
Marco,
You do realize that most engines scream strongly against developing the queen that early, right? I put this opening called the Patzer-Parham attack (in reality) into an engine and the engine says black is better. If I was using an engine, why would the engine say that black is better in my freaking opening?

Well, I do not know.
I just think it is VERY strange a +1400 rated player who can not defeat an early queen like shown in that game.
My conclusion is that his rating is wrong, for some reason.
Firstly it's almost certainly a her -_-
Also ok for like a ~1550 strength blitz player who just came off a solid high of 1200 or so I attribute my biggest improvement to just playing more classical, slow chess. I know this won't like work for most people, but I jumped 300 pts since September or so just by doing tactics and trying not to blunder. IMO if you can not blunder most of the time you should be able to hit 1400 easily, and adding a bit of positional understanding will give you 1600 or so.
Why 3. Bd3 against the Russian. You block your dark-square bishop from getting active. Better choices would be 3. Nxe5, 3. d4 or 3. Nc3 defending the pawn. You could actually also transpose to the three knights' game with 3. Bc4
And when do you lash out with your attack? Basically, to play good blitz, you need to attack. No positional play, no quiet games. Just attack.
If they give me a big attack, I love it.
But otherwise, I do the opposite. I prefer a positional game. Not a boring quiet game, but I like static features because they're easier to control in blitz. Less chance of a backlash for overpressing your trumps.

Actually, I played black. Not that I don't agree with you, but I didn't play that move, and I knew 3.Bd3 was quite strange, I expected 3.d4, and I would respond with Nxe4, with chances for both sides. Anything else you can point out?

True. I have started to just develop in the opening, and not worry about anything else. Ok, I will respond to a threat, but I have stopped my tendency to make unnessesary pawn moves, or pointless threats against my opponent, and stopped using the excuse of "It's blitz". Just develop, nothing complicated.
Personally I think you plan to do the opposite of what you should do. I havn't bothered to look at your bullet games because I don't have the time to go through them all, or enough of them to gather some kind of feedback, however, if I where to guess why your rating is so high on bullet it would be because you play the clock a lot more than trying to find the best move.
In real chess (slow chess) you not suppose to play the first move that comes to your mind. You are suppose to think up of a list of candidate moves to play, along with the list of your opponent responses to them. That there takes some time, probably not possible in bullet. I gather from your rating, not your games because I didnt see any, that you are where you are because you do not do this thinking, but you are going about it the wrong way you should play more long games not blitz because you won't have enough time to do what you are trying to train your mind to do. I figured this out months ago after 12 years of just playing blitz. As you can see I am not very good considering how long I have been playing but you get the idea. Play slow chess until you develop the habit to consitently make "good moves," throughout the whole game. You can't learn that habit from playing just speed chess.

Well, I don't play Bullet anymore, but you are right about playing on the clock. I do play long games, but sometimes I don't have time, and must play a short blitz game. I have been trying to develop an attack, and playing moves like I would in a slow game. The faster you find a good move, the more time you have to find a better move. I will follow you advice on canidate moves though. Seems like something I can spend time on in blitz, without running out of time constantly. Thank you.
Just look at the position and decide yourself wether it is open or not.
1. Nf3 confuses many opponents and brings some people instantely out of their comfort zone. But in reality Nf3 can transpose into any opening, almost.
Yeah, that was a dumb comment by me, my bad.
Not really, it was a valid question. It is based on opinion which opening is "best". I would suggest that you research openings you find interesting, Then try them out in blitz games to see which one you like best. For Skotheim2, he likes Nf3. I consider the Scotch game or gambit to be the "best".
No, my dumb question was questioning if the position was open or not.
Lol 
I was laughing so hard at that...lol.
I was in a tournement this Sunday. We were in an even position, and I couldn't find a way to make progress. So I offered a draw. My opponent seemed to also lack a plan, but he told me to play it out, worth a try atleast. 2 moves later, I am up a pawn in a king pawn endgame, and my opponent offered me a draw. lol.
stop with the colour and the big text. it is going to give me nightmares. plz
