Meet chakmatd: The National Master with a Knack for Blitz and Bullet
Chakmatd, proudly bearing the title of National Master, is a chess enthusiast who dances on the 64 squares with the speed of a bullet and the cunning of a fox. With their journey starting around 2015, this player quickly earned a reputation for thrilling matches and a rollercoaster of ratings across various time controls.
Rating Rollercoaster & Style
From racking up a blitz rating peak at nearly 2200 in 2018 to conquering bullet games with a stunning spike nearing 2500 in 2025, chakmatd brings a mix of intensity and resilience. Their blitz play balances aggressive tactics and endgame finesse, boasting an endgame frequency above 68% and an impressive comeback rate of over 84%. In fact, when down a piece, chakmatd somehow manages to turn the tables with a nearly 99% win rate after such setbacks — a true chess Houdini!
Playing Habits & Quirks
Known for a somewhat merciful early resignation rate of about 4.7%, chakmatd prefers to fight to the bitter end rather than throw in the towel prematurely. Their average winning games drag on to about 72 moves, proving they savor the strategic battle, while losses tend to end slightly earlier, around 62 moves.
Chess Against the Clock
Dive into the lightning lane where chakmatd truly shines! With thousands of blitz and bullet games logged, their bullet win rate hovers just above 50%, a remarkable feat in such an unforgiving format. In blitz, they've shown persistence with almost 900 wins, though the balance of victories and losses speaks volumes about the fierceness of their opponents.
Friend or Foe?
Chakmatd has tangled most frequently with opponents like kino and powermetal, collecting a respectable 43% and 54% win rate respectively — proving not even friendly nemeses can rest easy. However, against several other rivals like turtle-boy and fairyyy, the wins seem as elusive as a perfectly executed fork!
Peak Hours & Day of Week
When does chakmatd prove most dangerous? Sundays lead the pack with a win rate over 53%, and afternoons around 17:00 hours show a deadly precision with 50% wins. If you're planning a match, avoid Fridays, when they’re still warming up for the weekend battles.
Psychological Profile
Despite a tilt factor of 10 (yes, they get a bit salty sometimes), chakmatd’s mental toughness is legendary. Their rated vs casual win difference almost hits 50%, meaning when stakes are high, they deliver — or at least dramatically throw the board across the room (just kidding... maybe).
In a Nutshell
Chakmatd is a fierce, resilient, and fast-paced chess warrior with flair, stamina, and a touch of unpredictability. Whether juggling bullet duels or blitz skirmishes, they remind us all that in chess, it’s not just about the moves — it’s about the heart and a pinch of humor.
Pro tip: Don’t let chakmatd catch you napping — this National Master might just snatch victory when you least expect it!

✅ Your Strengths
- Tactical radar: In your win vs Michael Mahoney you found 12.Qxc6+!! and 15.Qxb8+, converting flawlessly:
- Converting endgames: The rook-and-pawn win against mrpotatomanthesecond featured clean technique and zero blunders under time pressure.
- Opening flexibility as White: You handle both Open and Closed Sicilians, Alekhine-like set-ups, and Queen’s Gambit structures confidently.
🚧 Growth Areas
- Black repertoire coherence.
• Several losses came from French Winawer and Nimzowitsch lines where early queen forays (…Qa5/…Qa4) left you behind in development.
• In the Caro-Kann Exchange (vs Moneta_Attack) you drifted without a clear middlegame plan and resigned in an equal-material position.
➜ Action: Streamline to 1–2 bullet-friendly defences (e.g. solid …e6 French with 3…Nf6, or the classical Caro 3…Bf5) and learn the critical ideas rather than memorising move orders. - Clock handling.
• Four of the five listed losses ended by resignation in a position with play or on time while still competitive.
• Bullet rewards practical choices—aim to stay above 15-20 s until move 20.
➜ Action: Practise “soft-premove” sequences (checks, recaptures, forced replies) and adopt a rule: if the position is roughly equal and under 5 s, simplify instead of seeking the perfect move. - Defensive resilience.
• When opponents attack (e.g. 24…Rxh2!! in the Nimzowitsch loss) you sometimes continue proactive play instead of forcing simplifications.
➜ Action: Train on “Defend the Position” puzzles and focus on candidate moves that stop threats first (see tempo and parrying ideas).
📚 Targeted Study Plan (2-week micro-cycle)
| Day 1-4 | 15 min opening drill: French Classical & Caro Classical mainlines. 20 min tactics (rating 2400-2700). 10 min endgame technique (R+P vs R, K+P races). |
|---|---|
| Day 5-7 | Bullet session (10-15 games) focusing on time management rules. Post-session: tag two positions where you hesitated & analyse alternatives. |
| Day 8-10 | Review three losses; for each, write one “critical defensive resource I missed.” Play sparring games at 3 | 2 to practise holding worse positions. |
| Day 11-14 | Mixed puzzle rush & endgame studies. Finish with a streak of five bullet games using only your new black repertoire. |
📝 Final Tips
- Keep an opening notebook with bullet-ready mini-lines and key ideas, not just moves.
- Refresh endgame fundamentals—good endings = free time on the clock because plans are clearer.
- Mental reset: after a blunder, breathe, hit the space bar twice, and play moves that require your opponent to prove the win. Many bullet games flip on persistence.
Stay tactical, tighten the defence, and your next push beyond 2500 is within reach. Good luck and happy attacking!
