Profile: blazing
Once a humble pawn pushing enthusiast in 2021, blazing has surged through the ranks like a rook on an open file. Starting with a Blitz rating of 1213 and a Bullet rating of 1255, this player’s journey is nothing short of a chess saga filled with wins, learning moments, and a few blunders (because who doesn’t love a good blunder?).
From Casual to Contender
By 2022, blazing exploded onto the scene with phenomenal progress: Blitz rating rocketed to 2405, Bullet soared to 2704, and Rapid jumped to 2315. This rapid climb reflected not just dedication but a certain stubborn refusal to resign early—only 2.77% of the time—showcasing a fighting spirit worthy of admiration.
A Style All Their Own
Blazing's style is a mix of endurance and calculated tenacity. The average moves per win hover around 74, proving they're not one for quick draws or cheap tricks. Their endgame frequency is a whopping 72%, meaning they love playing the long game and squeezing the smallest advantage until victory is inevitable. And with a comeback rate of 80%, giving up is simply not in their vocabulary.
Psychological Battle
With a tilt factor of 19, blazing experiences the emotional rollercoaster that is chess, but their resilience shines through: a nearly perfect 99.69% win rate after losing a piece! That's right—if blazing loses material, it’s basically a plot twist that opponents soon regret.
Opponent Chronicles
Some opponents are fan favorites: blazing holds an impressive 63% win rate against the most played opponent "voltage" (1,766 games!). On the other end, some players just suffer—like "sakshamrautela2004" with a 0% win rate against blazing. Their success with a mysterious "Top Secret" opening (yes, it’s that secret) boasts over 50% victories across Blitz, Bullet, Rapid, and Daily.
Chess on the Clock
Blazing likes to keep things spicy — playing plenty of Bullet (over 27,000 games) and Blitz (more than 9,000 games) matches. With peak Blitz rating flirting with 2698 in 2025, this player is inching ever closer to that grandmaster threshold. Their best hours include the elusive 11 AM and 13 PM slots, where win rates hit nearly 59%, while early morning hours like 8 AM are more of a gamble.
The Legend Continues
Current Blitz rating is a sizzling 2639 as of 2025, and Bullet closes in on 2832. Whispers among chatrooms speculate that blazing might just be a future chess legend disguised behind the username. One thing's for sure—this player battles hard, wins hard, and blazes a trail with every game played.
In the words of blazing themselves: "I might tilt sometimes, but hey, who doesn't? Just watch me turn your won piece into my misstep—then into a glorious comeback."

What You Already Do Well
- Structured opening play. In your wins against PerunBarglowski and Chess_RSM the thematic …h5/…h4 thrust gave you space and initiative without weakening the king.
- Tactical alertness when you have the initiative. The sequence 26…Qb1+!! 27.Kg2 h3+! in your most recent win shows excellent calculation speed.
- Good conversion with material advantage. Once you are a piece up, you rarely let the opponent back into the game.
Main Growth Areas
-
Time management.
• Several losses came with 5-10 seconds on your clock while the position was still defensible.
• Try the mental “30 second rule”: If you sink below 30 s, play only forcing moves (checks, captures, threats) and postpone deep calculations to increment time games. -
Avoid impulsive pawn grabs with the queen.
• Against Titanvibe07 the line6…Qxb2looked tempting but invited long-term danger and cost the game.
Example snippet:
• Add the checklist “Can my queen retreat safely in two moves?” before taking loose pawns early. -
Handling the Advance & Panov Caro-Kann.
• Three of your last five losses came from these variations.
• Study modern plans with …c5 break timing and piece placement (…Ne7-f5 vs Advance; …e6 & …Be7 lines versus Panov).
• Suggested resource order: 10 model games → create a mini repertoire file → drill with opening trainer. -
Central prophylaxis.
• The tactic 20.Nxd5! in your loss to Schaefchen1984 hits because …exd5 opened the e-file and b5 pawn fell.
• Before committing to pawn thrusts like …g5 or …c5, run a quick prophylaxis scan: “What does my opponent want next?”. -
End-game technique vs Rooks.
• The checkmate by i8GingerBMan arose from a drawn R+P ending that slipped after 60 moves.
• Schedule 15-minute daily drills of Philidor/Lucena and R vs R+P side defence. Your tactical sharpness will transfer to these technical endings.
