Brandon Clarke (aka Biranidun)
International Master
Meet Brandon Clarke, a formidable force on the chessboard who proudly holds the title of International Master granted by FIDE. Known in the online realm as "Biranidun," Brandon is a blitz and bullet wizard whose lightning-fast moves leave opponents scrambling for answers — or their coffee.
With a peak Blitz rating soaring above 2900 and a Bullet rating nudging close to the same, Brandon's speed chess prowess is nothing short of legendary. Their average Blitz rating often hovers in the high 2700s, reflecting a consistency that would make even grandmasters blink in awe.
But Brandon isn't just about raw speed—it's also about endurance and grit. Boasting an incredible longest winning streak of 51 games, this player knows how to capitalize on momentum and keep the pressure cranked up. Their comeback rate clocks in at over 86%, and if they lose a piece, their remarkable 96.96% win rate after that proves they thrive under adversity. Let's just say, surrender is not in their vocabulary.
Brandon is equally comfortable with white or black pieces, maintaining solid win rates on both sides: 63% when playing white and above 60% as black. Endgames are their playground, with nearly 79% of their games reaching those tense final moments — and they’re typically the last one smiling.
A lover of the mysterious and strategic, Brandon’s favorite openings remain a "Top Secret" arsenal, with a consistently high win rate across all time controls. Opponents beware: taking down Brandon requires more than just a lucky break.
When not crushing opponents online at various hours (with peak win rates around the early morning and late evening), Brandon brings a bit of humor and humility to the battlefield. They keep tilt factor low — just a 9 out of 100 — which explains how they keep their nerves and compose such dazzling displays of tactics.
In short, Brandon Clarke is a relentless, quick-thinking strategist who turns every game into a thrilling high-speed chase. Whether online or over the board, watching their games is like watching a chess grand prix: fast, exciting, and never dull.
