Chess Profile: blesstheblind
Meet blesstheblind, a chess enthusiast whose journey from humble beginnings to rapid rating heights is nothing short of inspirational (or at least mildly entertaining!). Starting back in 2021 with a modest Rapid rating of 486, this relentless player has climbed steadily to an impressive peak of 1799 by 2025. Not bad for someone who might “bless the blind” but certainly doesn’t miss a beat on the board.
Performance Snapshot
- Rapid Chess: The bread and butter—over 8,300 games with almost as many wins (2,530) as losses (2,546) and a smattering of draws. Their tenacity shines with a spectacular comeback rate of 73.56% and a whopping 100% win rate after losing a piece. Clearly, a master of turning lemons into lemonade!
- Blitz & Bullet: Lightning-fast decisions with ratings breaking 1300 in Blitz and close to 740 in Bullet, proving their reflexes can keep up with the chessboard chaos.
- Daily Chess: Showing off patience and strategy, reaching a peak rating of 1323, with an impressive 73.68% win rate in this format.
Style & Statistics
Blessed with a unique blend of perseverance and tactical wizardry, blesstheblind has an early resignation rate of just 2.25%, meaning they rarely quit before the bitter end. They embrace the endgame more than two-thirds of the time (67.42%)—the ultimate battlefield of champions. Winning games typically takes them about 58 moves, but losses tend to be longer affairs, stretching to nearly 73 moves, hinting perhaps at stubborn denial or epic battles lost in the final moments.
Playing as White offers their best chances with a 51.54% win rate, while playing Black is tougher but still respectable at 46.85%. Their longest winning streak stands at a healthy 12 games, though the current streak rests at a sensible zero—because every warrior needs a pause.
Chess Psychology & Hours of Power
Despite the mental strain—indicated by a tilt factor of 15 (chess players will understand)—they have a remarkable 49.2% better success rate in rated games compared to casual matches. The peak hours for their triumphs? The mornings at 8 AM with a 55% win rate, and late mornings at 11 AM where they shine brightest (54.3% wins). Nights, however, seem less friendly, with a mere 35.38% win rate around 11 PM—maybe bed always calls louder.
Opening Moves
If you want to know their secret weapon: it’s all under “Top Secret.” With over 5,200 rapid games and close to half winning them, their openings are anything but ordinary and clearly keep opponents guessing.
Fun Fact
Blesstheblind has perfected the art of comeback—losing a piece often leads to a resounding victory! This player turns adversity into opportunity so well, it might as well be their chess mantra.
In summary, blesstheblind is a dedicated and resilient contender on the chess battlefield. Whether blitzing, bulleting, or carefully plotting daily, they demonstrate not only skill and strategy but a sense of humor about the unseen twists and turns of the 64 squares. Blessed or blind? Either way, watch out—they’re seeing the board better than most!
