Biography of Bibek Thing (aka biveklama)
Bibek Thing is no ordinary chess aficionado; they've mastered the game sufficiently to earn the prestigious title of FIDE Master from FIDE. With a rollercoaster rating journey starting around the 1300s in 2012 and rocketing up past 2700 in blitz by 2025, Bibek is a true blitz and bullet gladiator with a style as sharp as their moves.
Playing Style & Achievements
Bibek is the kind of player who thrives in fast-paced games. The statistics show an impressive struggle against time itself, with tens of thousands of blitz and bullet games under their belt. Their peak blitz rating reached a blazing 2753 in early 2025, which firmly places them among the elite speed chess players!
Despite the hectic nature of bullet and blitz chess, Bibek is known for their not-so-patience-for-drawlore; draws are quite rare, indicating a combative spirit who either wins outright or bravely losses trying. Their early resignation rate is less than 1%—so if they see a crack, they'll pounce rather than quit prematurely.
Favourite Openings and Signature Moves
When it comes to openings, Bibek’s repertoire is as mysterious as a spy’s—there’s a heavy reliance on the intriguingly named "Top Secret" opening which seems to be an umbrella for many varied lines across countless games. They also have a fondness for Sicilian Defense variations like the Najdorf and Rossolimo attacks, showcasing their aggressive and tactical approach to the game.
Notable Statistics

They demonstrate less mercy in their games than a cat chasing a laser pointer, with a tilt factor of 14 (watch your nerves!).
Whether outmaneuvering foes or narrowly escaping time scrambles, Bibek’s games are a thrilling blend of tactical fireworks, strategic depths, and just the right touch of mystery.
Recent Battles on the Board

A true mindgame, ending with the opponent running out of minutes. Classic Bibek style—strategic, resilient, and with an ace up their sleeve!
But as with all great warriors, Bibek also takes defeats in stride; their last losses featured well-fought games against seasoned players like LanEdNes and LikeWater, showing that even masters face their share of checkmates and time scrambles.

Quick Snapshot
Your aggressive style and willingness to sacrifice make you a very dangerous opponent. At your peak you reached 2753 (2025-02-02).
When do you perform best?
What’s Working Well
- Dynamic openings. The Nimzowitsch-Larsen Attack (1 b3) has brought you several scalps, most notably two wins over Shaolong Du where 3.Bxf6! produced long-term pawn weaknesses.
- Tactical vision. Creative shots such as 7.Nxf7!! in your Alapin Sicilian win and 15.Nxg5 in the French show confident calculation.
- Activity in simplified positions. In the victory against Tanmay Chopra you centralised king and rooks flawlessly once the tactics settled.
Top Improvement Priorities
-
Clock Management – Four of your last five losses were on time (e.g. vs Joshua Adrian Avila Rodriguez and Goltsev Dmitry).
Action plan:- Adopt a “20-20-20” budget (opening-middlegame-endgame).
- Simplify and premove recaptures when clearly winning.
- Play 20 bullet puzzles a day to get comfortable moving under 5 s.
- Converting Advantages – You flagged with an extra queen against Joshua Adrian Avila Rodriguez. Prioritise moves that stop counter-play first (e.g. 59.Qh7+! was immediate mate).
- Sound Black Repertoire – Off-beat choices like the St-George (1…a6) and early …Qa5 Scandinavian surprise people but leave structural holes. Add a solid backbone opening (Caro-Kann or Classical Sicilian) so you always have something reliable.
- Avoiding Over-extension – Against Shlawutski you pushed 10.e5?! and ceded the d5 outpost. Before a pawn push ask “Which squares am I weakening?” – a key idea of prophylaxis.
- Endgame Technique – Several time losses came in rook-and-pawn endings. Regularly drill the “rook behind the passed pawn” theme and Lucena/Philidor positions for 10 minutes each session.
Concrete Homework
- Self-annotate the critical phase (moves 20-30) of your latest win:
- Re-enter the JoshuaGK27 game and write down two faster winning lines you missed.
- Play 10 blitz games with the Caro-Kann as Black; save each for review to grow a solid secondary repertoire.
Next Milestone
Simply avoiding time forfeits should add 50-80 rating points. Aim for at least 60 % of your games to finish with more than 5 seconds still on your clock by month-end.
