One thing I was told a long time ago is that it’s important to even review your blitz games. To at least look at them quickly with an engine to see where the huge swings are and then to analyze those swings.
The idea is to figure out what you saw and what you missed and how you properly or improperly evaluated certain positions.
Immediately after playing this game my impression was that I won quite easily with a devastating attack. I sacked some material and then quickly overwhelmed my opponent on the kingside.
But then I pulled up the pgn to take a quick look at it with an engine and the truth is that I completely misplayed this game.
Interestingly this is the same theme that just caused me to have such as terribly tournament. I rushed rather than building up small advantages.
