BlindTakes GM

Grandmaster BlindTakes

Known in the online realms as BlindTakes, this Grandmaster doesn’t just play chess — they practically redefine it (or at least dominate it with flair). With a peak Blitz rating soaring to an impressive 2553 back in December 2018 and a bullet bulletproof rating of 2402, BlindTakes has shown their tactical prowess across every digital battlefield.

Early Life & Rise

Though details of BlindTakes’ origins remain a chess mystery, their rise to Grandmaster status is no enigma. Through relentless study and a knack for crushing the competition—winning 134 out of 151 Blitz games with an 88.74% win rate using the mysterious and eerily effective “Top Secret” opening—BlindTakes has earned a reputation as a fearsome blitz and bullet tactician.

Playing Style: Speed, Wit, and Checkmates

With a winning streak of 32 games at one point, and a psychological tilt factor of 3 (in other words: barely fazed by the ups and downs of intense matches), BlindTakes attacks with a blend of patience and precision. Averaging 62 moves in wins and taking nearly 82 in losses, they clearly savor a long, dramatic chess saga before sealing the deal.

BlindTakes excels in endgames, appearing late often (about 66% frequency), and tends to perform equally well with white (89.19% wins) or black (88.46% wins). Resignation rates? Zero. This player fights to the very last piece, unless it’s just time to flip the board (metaphorically speaking, of course).

Psychological Mastermind

Ever wonder what time of day chess prodigies bring their A-game? BlindTakes peaks around 5 AM, turning those “why-am-I-awake” hours into unstoppable chess fury. Win rates hover near 100% in those early morning hours, a fact that might prompt rivals to consider attending the next dawn’s sunrise instead of a chess match.

Records & Rivalries

Facing formidable opponents like dumdumtumtum (6 games) and johndavis_59 (4 games), BlindTakes has a near-perfect record — except for a few who managed to sneak under the radar. Against most challengers, the win rate is a stunning 100%, demonstrating why “BlindTakes” might as well be called “No-Takes-Back.”

Memorable Moments

Among many thrilling victories, one recent game saw BlindTakes deliver a clean checkmate in just 23 moves using the Sicilian Defense. Those who faced them and tried resigning early? Well, BlindTakes is known for zero early resignations, so opponents better be prepared to fight till the last rook.
