Profile: becalmncool, FIDE Master
Meet becalmncool, a chess virtuoso whose calm demeanor is only rivaled by their fiery passion on the board. Awarded the prestigious title of FIDE Master, they’ve made a name for themselves with a steady climb to a peak blitz rating just shy of 2700 — that’s chess grandmaster territory flirting with perfection!
Rating & Style
Specializing in blitz and bullet, becalmncool is no stranger to the heat of rapid-fire decision making. Their peak blitz rating of 2697 was recorded in March 2025, a testament to resilience and tactical prowess. Despite some ups and downs (even the best have lost a few blitz games!), they average a solid win rate and show a remarkable ability to bounce back—with a comeback rate of 85.19%.
Their playstyle? Extremely patient for blitz speed lovers, with an average moves per win hovering around 80 moves. When others fly off the handle, becalmncool keeps composure (note the low one-sided loss rate at 1.44%)—probably why their tilt factor is a graceful 6 (on a mysterious scale no one dares to explain). They shine brightest in the wee hours, with the best time of day to play being an eerie 3 AM, proving that chess mastery doesn’t always sleep.
Opening Repertoire
The opening book is anything but boring. While their signature "Top Secret" opening keeps opponents guessing (and slightly frustrated) across 503 blitz games, they also demonstrate finesse with a slew of solid choices: Alekhine's Defense, Queen’s Pawn Pseudo-Catalan Variation, Owens Defense, and several sharper Sicilian Defense variations. With perfect win records in several niche openings, it seems becalmncool knows how to surprise foes with unexpected lines before they even finish their pre-game coffee.
Recent Adventures on the Board
A recent win against Feel_Special showcased their knightly precision in Alekhine’s Defense, ultimately winning on time—a modern-day blitz marathon where every second counts. But even the best stumble: a tough loss came against KiarashHossainpour, proving that even FIDE Masters must sometimes bow before fate (or maybe just a killer Sicilian).
Rivalries & Records
The most frequent sparring partner is delusional_knight, with a respectable 44.64% win rate—because even masters need someone to keep them sharp. Some opponents like marcin, fgm1ke, and b-man have fallen 100% of the time, making them less rivals and more permanent residents of the "oops" club. A funny balance of dominance and humility!
In Summary
Steady, cunning, and quietly ruthless, becalmncool is a player who lives up to their name. In the fast and furious world of blitz chess, they are the archetype of zen — calmly threading tactics and strategy with nerves of steel. Just don’t challenge them at 3 AM unless you’re ready for a masterclass in cool-headed chess wizardry!
