Player Profile: blind2010
Meet blind2010, an International Master awarded by FIDE — a title that means they know their knights from their bishops and can probably beat you blindfolded (pun intended). Rising from humble beginnings with a rapid rating of just 100 in 2021, blind2010 catapulted themselves into the chess stratosphere with blitz and bullet performances that could make even Magnus Magnusson blink.
Rating Highlights
- Blitz peak rating soared to an impressive 2618 in 2025 after a strong winning streak, proving rapid fire tactics are their forte.
- Bullet prowess isn't far behind, achieving a high of 2549 in 2024 and maintaining an outstanding 70% win rate using the mysteriously named "Top Secret" opening.
- Rapid games showcase steady improvement over time, with an average win rate of nearly 79% across 177 games — clearly, patience is part of the strategy.
Playing Style & Psychological Profile
It's no surprise that blind2010 boasts a White win rate north of 77% and a solid 75% when playing Black. A tactical wizard with a comeback rate of over 67% and a perfect 100% win record even after losing a piece, this competitor’s resilience is legendary.
However, even grandmasters have their off days — an early resignation rate near 16% suggests that sometimes, blind2010 knows when it’s time to gracefully bow out and live to fight another day (or to consult the 'Top Secret' opening database).
Competitive Spirit & Records
With a longest winning streak of 20 games and a current streak of 2, this player knows how to keep the momentum going. Not to mention an almost fanatical win rate against many opponents — some at a perfect 100%, others like “truevoiceofthetree” at a comfortable 50%.
Their best days to battle opponents? Monday, with a staggering 92% win rate. Beware casual challengers at all hours; the 87.5% win rate around 5 PM and nearly 89% at 8 PM prove blind2010 is no stranger to prime-time chess dominance.
