Matan Prilleltensky (BvsN) - The National Master with a Tactical Edge

Meet Matan Prilleltensky, a chess player who’s earned the illustrious title of National Master, proving that their brain isn’t just for thinking—they’re here to conquer the 64 squares with style and flair! From blitz marathons to the rapid-fire excitement of rapid games, Matan has shown resilience, tactical brilliance, and a never-say-die attitude that would make even Bobby Fischer nod in approval.

A Journey Through the Ratings

Since 2017, Matan has been steadily climbing the blitz ladder, starting out with a rating around 2165 and smashing through to an impressive peak rating of 2532 by 2025. The blitz arena seems to be their battlefield of choice, where thousands of games forged an ironclad record of 852 wins, 730 losses, and 183 draws. It’s like they’ve been sprinting through chess moves at lightning speed while maintaining a near 48% win rate in over 1700 games using their secret opening – which remains just that: Top Secret!

Their rapid performance is no joke either, boasting strong ratings in the 2200s and battling opponents with a cool 37.5% win rate — in a discipline that demands quick thinking with slightly more breathing room than blitz. Bullet? Matan tried it (poorly), proving that not everyone thrives when the clock ticks in seconds and a blink counts as a lost piece.

Playing Style & Psychological Prowess

Matan prefers long, satisfying battles: their average winning games run over 77 moves, proving patience is a key weapon. Endgames are their home turf, occurring in nearly 85% of their contests. And if things look grim? No worries—they have an 88.5% comeback rate and a magical 100% winning record after losing a piece. Basically, if you thought you had them, you probably didn’t count on their psychological resilience and tactical genius.

Not immune to life's little irritations, Matan’s tilt factor is a modest 8 out of 100, meaning they might get a little steamed when the board doesn’t go their way, but that barely slows down their fiery engine on the chessboard.

Records, Rivalries, and Wins

Among their arsenal of opponents, Matan has mastered some and learned from others. They’re undefeated against the likes of vinzentspitzl and hirna2005, but, oops, chessswole remains an elusive adversary with a 0% win rate. Their most played rival? boypitcher — who has a slightly better time winning, but hey, rivalry spices up the game!

Matan dominates Saturday games with a sparkling 54.8% win rate, proving that weekends are perfect for unleashing their chess fury. Their one exception: the midday slump around noon, when a 28.6% win rate suggests their brain prefers caffeine before board battles.

Fun Fact

If chess were a superhero story, Matan’s secret opening would probably be called "Top Secret" — not because they forgot the name, but because revealing it might cause grandmasters worldwide to tremble.

Whether it’s blitz, rapid, or the occasional bullet, Matan Prilleltensky combines talent, endurance, and a sense of humor worthy of a chessboard king or queen. Keep an eye out for them; given their trajectory, checkmate is always just a move away.
