Eduard Khatoev - International Master (aka blubliss)
Eduard Khatoev is not just any chess player; he’s an International Master recognized by FIDE with a knack for blitz battles that could make even a Grandmaster sweat. Known online as blubliss, Eduard’s playing style is a fascinating mix of resilience and endurance. His games tend to be lengthy affairs with an average of about 77 moves until victory, proving he’s not one to quit early—although he does have a modest early resignation rate of 0.39%, just to keep things spicy.
With a peak blitz rating soaring near 2750, Eduard dominates the board with strategic depth and tactical precision. His comeback rate is a staggering 87%, and he never loses after dropping a piece—seriously, 100% win rate after losing material! Talk about turning lemons into lemonade.
Eduard enjoys the spotlight most in the late evening and early night hours, boasting an impressive win streak timing, especially between 11 PM and 2 AM when his win rate can hit above 50%. A creature of the twilight, some say his pieces move better when the world is quiet.
Though fierce on the board, Eduard has a tilt factor of 9—meaning if the game turns sour, he might momentarily resemble a frustrated volcano before erupting back with brilliant play. His versatility is seen across bullet, blitz, and rapid formats with win rates around 47% to 75% depending on the time control, making him a well-rounded force in the chess universe.
Off the board, Eduard might be plotting his next unbeatable opening, known mysteriously as Top Secret (and yes, he’s played thousands of games with it). On the board, he’s relentless, patient, and always ready to outwit opponents from every corner of the globe, including those who dare challenge him under usernames as quirky as “checkmatedbyraimo” or “smoking_crow.”
In short, if you cross paths with Eduard Khatoev in an online blitz game, prepare for a marathon of mind battles—he’s here to conquer, entertain, and maybe leave you wondering if your queen ever did stand a chance.
