Blaskó István (aka Blasi) - International Master

Meet Blaskó István, a chess enthusiast who has climbed the ranks to earn the prestigious title of International Master from FIDE. Known simply as Blasi in the chess world, this player combines strategic prowess with a touch of witty resilience.

Rating Journey & Style

Blasi’s blitz rating has been a rollercoaster ride since 2011, soaring as high as 2357 in 2020 before settling around 2191 in 2025. With a peak blitz performance that could give some Grandmasters a run for their money, Blasi is a force to be reckoned with on the clock. Bullet and rapid ratings tell another story of versatility, though blitz remains the preferred battleground.

Known for an exceptionally high comeback rate of 91.74% and a 100% win rate after losing a piece (don't ask how!), Blasi is the definition of fighting spirit. Opponents beware: giving Blasi a piece won't guarantee victory!

Playing Style & Habits

With an endgame frequency of nearly 80%, Blasi clearly enjoys the thrill of outmaneuvering opponents when the board is nearly empty. Expect long, thoughtful games with an average of around 75 moves to a win—chess marathons are the specialty here!

A modest 0.67% early resignation rate means Blasi rarely throws in the towel without a fight, even if the position looks grim. Sorry, mercy is off the table!

Lucky Times & Brainpower

Blasi tends to be sharper in the evening, boasting a whopping 70% win rate at midnight (0:00 hour) and a respectable 58.5% win rate at 7 AM. Clearly, for Blasi, the night owl lifestyle is chess gold.

Fridays seem to be favoured as well, with a win rate nudging just over 51%. Maybe the weekend vibes inspire some genius moves!

Quirks & Records

Blasi's longest winning streak is an impressive 10 games, and currently, there's a hot streak of 2 wins in a row. For a player with a tilt factor of 7, it’s safe to say Blasi keeps calm and chess on.

Among the many opponents faced, Blasi has earned a perfect victory score against several usernames like schoenbrunn, espert9, and amnay86, while some like twittergp and gutzzi got away... but only barely.

Fun Facts

• Blasi has played nearly 4000 blitz games under a "Top Secret" opening, winning almost half!
• Win rate is slightly better as White (49.8%) than Black (45.9%), proving Blasi loves starting strong but can hold their own in the dark pieces.
• With a tactical awareness so sharp, losses that aren't brutally one-sided are less than 1.3%—a real gladiator on the board.

To sum it up: Blasi is a resilient fighter with a penchant for deep, lengthy battles and a night-loving brain—an International Master who always keeps the chessboard exciting. If you meet them over the board, make sure to brace for a spirited tussle that might just end with you clinging to your queen for dear life!
