Chess Profile: blubf

Meet blubf, a chess enthusiast whose journey is as colorful as their rating history! Starting from modest beginnings with a blitz rating hovering around 130 in late 2024, blubf has powered through the ranks, reaching a blitz peak of an impressive 704 by May 2025. Apparently, they like their chess fast-paced—after all, they've played nearly 1,400 blitz games, with close to a 51% win rate. That's some serious dedication to fast thinking and quick moves!

Style and Strategy

Blubf approaches the board with a balanced and persistent style. Average moves per game hover around 47, showing neither rushed decisions nor overly prolonged battles. Their endgame frequency of nearly 40% indicates that they don't shy away from grinding out wins in the late stages, proving both stamina and tactical awareness. That said, early resignation comes into play about 6% of the time, so perhaps sometimes blubf knows when to fold 'em—smart and practical!

When it comes to openings, blubf embraces classics like the Italian Game and King's Pawn Opening with solid success—winning just over half their blitz games with the Italian Game and over 62% with King's Pawn/Kings Knight Variation. They also dabble in less orthodox lines like the Englund Gambit and the Scandinavian Defense, showing a willingness to surprise opponents and keep the game spicy.
