Bindi Cheng - International Master of the 64 Squares
Meet Bindi Cheng, the chess player who dances gracefully between bullet blazes and daily deep dives, armed with an impressive title bestowed by FIDE: International Master. Known in chess circles also by the username Bobbylow, Bindi’s chess game is less of a mere pastime and more like a tactical rollercoaster—with the occasional loop-de-loop of brilliance and a few cheeky surprises.
Starting from humble beginnings in 2011 with bullet ratings soaring beyond 2600 and blitz ratings comfortably nestled above 2100, Bindi rapidly carved out a reputation as a true speed demon on the clock. Their bullet peak rating touched an astonishing 2661, proving lightning-fast reflexes accompany sharp strategic thinking. When it comes to blitz, their peak (2598) is nothing short of elite—definitely the kind of player who makes you rethink the definition of 'rapid decision making.'
A master not just of speed but of endurance, Bindi’s daily rating peaked above 2100, showcasing patience and precision in longer games, a rare combo with their love for lightning-fast encounters. Their rapid rating peaked around 2566, proving adaptability across time controls—quick on the trigger yet capable of deep calculation when the clock allows.
Fun fact: Bindi once built a jaw-dropping 39-game winning streak in their chess career—a mix of grit, wit, and maybe just a little bit of chess sorcery. Their current streak might be a modest 4 wins, but hey, every chess journey has its peaks and troughs.
When faced with adversity, Bindi shines bright. With a comeback rate near 70% and an 87% win rate after losing a piece, this International Master is not just a tactician but a resilient gladiator of the board. Beware if you think you’ve gained a material edge against Bindi—they might just turn the tables before you can say “checkmate.”
Their opening repertoire is kept secret—strategically guarding the sacred scrolls behind closed doors—yet their win rates remain impressively high across all formats: over 70% in daily and rapid, and a solid 67% in blitz games. Clearly, Bindi knows how to keep opponents guessing and scrambling.
Bindi’s style? Efficient and enduring. Games tend to hover around the mid-fifties in moves, indicating a preference for strategic battles that test both patience and tactical vision. With white pieces, Bindi wins roughly 69% of the time, and as black, still conquers about 66%. Not bad for someone who apparently respects both sides of the battlefield.
Who are Bindi’s fiercest rivals? Players like eilyisum and ernestoguevaralynch have had the honor of crossing swords most often, though Bindi holds a very respectable edge against many opponents. Be warned: against penguinchocolate, Bindi might have lost a game or two—because even the greatest falter occasionally (and hey, after 500+ games, perfect isn’t the norm).
Off the board, Bindi’s tilt factor is a chill 9 out of 100—so don’t expect a rage quit mid-game, but maybe a calm smirk as they adjust their glasses and prepare the next cunning trap. Rated vs casual games? Bindi enjoys the serious duels more, with a 20% better record in competitive arenas.
In sum, Bindi Cheng is a blend of speed, style, and strategic stamina, an International Master who plays with heart and humor. Whether blitzing through bullet rounds or grinding in daily chess marathons, Bindi continues to remind us that chess isn’t just a game—it's an adventure on a wooden battlefield, and every move counts.
