An Online Chess Marathaon
aleksander555 is a player who seems to own a second clock hidden in every time zone. The adventure begins in late 2018 with hundreds of blitz games and keeps its foot on the gas through 2026. One month alone, May 2023 produced 1,134 blitz games. The account says the preferred time control is Rapid, but the blitz board quickly became the main living room and the emergency room at the same time.
The blitz climb reached 2614 (2026-01-08) and the rapid climb peaked at 2492 (2021-09-16). The full ride looks like this:

When aleksander555 is white, 1.e4 is not a choice, it is a policy. The Scotch Game happens over 1,500 times, with the Caro-Kann showing up when opponents want to take a quieter road. Against sharper guests, the Sicilian Najdorf with the Amsterdam Variation scores impressively.
When black, the home base is less crowded but just as stubborn: the Modern Defense appears thousands of times, and the Pirc Defense is never far away. The Benko Gambit also appears whenever the player wants to make the board uncomfortable. Bring coffee if you plan to play them.
