International Master (IM)

Meet caraguru, an International Master whose blitz rating has been skyrocketing all the way to an impressive peak of 2811 in November 2024. If chess were an Olympic sport, caraguru would probably have more gold than a leprechaun’s pot.

Chess Journey & Style

Starting with a modest blitz rating of 1368 back in 2015, caraguru rapidly progressed through the ranks, mastering the chaotic and lightning-fast world of blitz chess with a staggering win record of over 23,000 games. With a tactical awareness that embraces comebacks and a comeback rate near 88%, caraguru never says die—unless the clock runs out (because who doesn’t sometimes?).

Known for an average game length of about 77 moves when winning and a penchant for resigning in just 0.16% of games early (which means they have nerves of steel), caraguru plays long, strategic battles with relentless endgame skill — entering the endgame nearly 83% of the time. Opponents beware: this is a player who knows that every move counts till the last second.

Noteworthy Facts

• Lifetime Blitz Record: Over 23,000 wins, battling through almost 44,000 games — only about 19,700 losses (rookies weep).
• Longest Winning Streak: 23 games unbeaten, proving their blunders are few and far between.
• Playing Hours: Peak performance is allegedly at 3 AM, so perhaps don’t challenge caraguru to a late-night blitz unless you’re ready for daylight defeat.
• Opening Prowess: Prefers the "Unknown Opening" and the intriguingly named "Top Secret," both boasting nearly 48% win rates. One might say there’s a deliberate air of mystery to their opening play.

Recent Performance Highlights

Just last week, caraguru won a thrilling blitz match on Chess.com by outmaneuvering Im_a_Serial_killer with a stunning queen promotion and a relentless endgame assault that left the clock and the opponent breathless.

Of course, even masters stumble occasionally: the very next game saw a narrow loss against LHS29, reminding all that while the title is earned, humility is kept close.

The Personality Behind the Moves

Is caraguru a grandmaster of wit as well as of the board? Absolutely. Their nickname alone claims mastery, yet their statistics reveal a humble warrior who thrives on challenge and constant improvement. With a tilt factor of just 10, they stay cool when the queens start flying, unlike your average couch chess player who flips the board at move 20.

Whether you’re battling them online or admiring from afar, caraguru’s chess journey is a testament to dedication, strategy, and probably many cups of caffeine. Watch this space — the guru’s only getting sharper.
