Martin Šulc - The Relentless Blomcon
Meet Martin Šulc, better known in the chessverse as Blomcon, a player whose blitz journey is a rollercoaster of thrill and spills.
About the Player
Born for the 64 squares and a lifetime of pawn storms, Martin has battled in nearly 1,700 blitz games in 2025 alone. With a highest blitz rating of 880 and an average hovering at around 505, he embodies the spirit of persistence—winning as much as losing, and drawing just enough to keep things spicy (40 draws to be exact).
Battle-Tested Openings
Martin’s opening repertoire is as diverse as it is deadly. His top blitz triumphs come from:
- Scandinavian Defense (79 games, 58% win rate)
- King’s Pawn Opening, King’s Knight Variation (96 games, 55% wins)
- Italian Game Knight Attack (45 games, with a proud 60% win rate!)
Even though he’s zero-loss in these openings (clearly knows his stuff), Martin keeps things fun by sometimes throwing in the Philidor Defense and Giuoco Piano variations.
Playing Style & Quirks
With an average game length hovering around 55 moves, Martin likes to keep his opponents guessing until the bitter end. He boasts a glorious comeback rate of 69% and a mindblowing 100% win rate after losing a piece, proving he’s the phoenix of the chessboard.
His tilt factor at 8 means that while he can take a loss on the chin, don’t get on his nerves too much—he’s got a fiery streak underneath that calm exterior.
Fun fact: Martin is a nocturnal strategist, with the best winning odds between 3 AM and 6 AM. (Who knew chess was a midnight sport?)
Daily and Rapid Adventures
When not blitzing, he dabbles in daily and rapid chess. His daily rating peaks impressively past 1000 (1004 max), while his rapid play hovers around the mid-700s. They say patience is a virtue—Martin’s got the daily games under control, going toe-to-toe with his opponents in a far smaller sample but with solid consistency.
Noteworthy Highlights
- Longest winning streak: 11 games straight—clearly on fire!
- Win rates differ by day, with Monday and Sunday being his lucky days.
- Opponent “vivaberi” had a 66.67% chance of losing to Martin’s razor-sharp tactics.
