I thought this was a good game, I played it sharp in the opening that started innocously, won a pawn and from then just played it out well.

A smooth, fun win against a player of 2063 for rapid games on lichess .... the reason why I am especially content with this game is that the engine indicated that I made zero blunders, zero mistakes, and zero inaccuracies .... I had that before but it is rare ....

Right after the last win against the 2168 rapid lichess player I won against a 2283 player, again rapid on lichess! I am on a roll ;)

What do you guys think of this game?

I got my highest lichess rapid rating ever (2127) but more importantly I won a fun game with white against a player of 2168 .... I sacrificed material and at some point I did not see a win, I was thinking about taking a draw by perpetual check .... but I kept thinking and I found g4, and when my opponent took my rook NOT to take back right away but first play g5 check! and only then take the rook back with check. The yesterday and the day before that I lost almost all of my games, today a good day with one draw and I think the rest wins. It goes up and down, your energy level is crucial ...this was not a perfect game of me, Stockfish found 3 blunders, but I still think it was also not a very bad game, anyway what do you guys think?

Wow, I always thought bullet games were just too fast for me, but now I found the format 2 minutes + 1 second increment, and that is a great format for me, I enjoy it and got some encouraging results. Here a game that was evaluated with 1 inaccuracy, 0 mistakes and 0 blunders, and only 12 average centipawn loss That would make me even happy with a rapid game but of course even more with a bullet game! Here is the game, what do you guys think?

One of the most important things is to play blitz games as little as possible, I know it is addictive and fun .... but in general you do not learn much from them. Even more important is to analyze every game you play with Stockfish or another engine .... I do this with lichess.org
, totally free, they use the latest version I think, now they use StockFish 12 .... after the game you click on analyse board and then on request analysis .... then you have to wait a minute or so .... then you can click on "learn from your mistakes" and then also: learn from black mistakes.... if you do that after EVERY game .... I am sure you get better. Also a private teacher can help .... because StockFish will tell you what you should have done .... but does not tell you WHY ... at least not in words .... so that is where a teacher can be helpful. Also a teacher .... can play with you, normally you cannot play against players who have more than 400 points more rating than you .... because if they blunder they lose a lot of rating points and if they win they hardly win any rating points. I can be such a teacher for you, my rating is between 2000 and 2100 on lichess .... my highest rating on lichess for rapid was 2113 ..... I can teach you for only 10 bucks per hour and the first hour is free, so you can try it risk free 😉 just pm me

I just got a report of analyzing all my games at lichess (chess.com is also possible), created by aimchess.com, a great website.
