countingblunders: The Chess Accountant Who Learned to Win
Who Is countingblunders?
countingblunders started out in 2019 as a roughly 1400 Blitz scrapper with a username that sounds like someone tallying every mistake. But the stats tell a different story: this player counts wins too, and plenty of them. With more than 12,000 analyzed games to their name, countingblunders is a chess obsessive with a clear soft spot for Blitz, where they have spent the most time and climbed the highest.
The Long Climb in Blitz
The Blitz board was home turf from the very beginning. countingblunders played hundreds of games each year, survived a brutal 40 game losing streak,and still surged upward. A peak Blitz rating of 2706 (2026-05-27) shows how far persistence can carry a player. Their 4,145 Blitz wins illustrate that volume and skill can go hand in hand.
Signature Openings and a Wild Repertoire
countingblunders has a broad and adventurous opening taste, happily exploring everything from the ultra-solid French Defense to the offbeat Amazon Attack. Against 1.d4, the Nimzo-Larsen Attack became a bullet weapon, and in Blitz the Sicilian Defense remains a constant companion.
- An 82% comeback rate and a 48.6% win rate after losing a piece suggest a player who refuses to panic.
- Only 5.37% of losses are one-sided, meaning most defeats are battles, not blowouts.
- When facing lower-rated opposition, countingblunders converts around 74% of those games.
Rivalries and Resilience
No rival looms larger than NoobLaKsHya, the opponent faced most often. In 91 meetings, countingblunders dominated with 81 wins, 3 losses,and 7 draws. Still, a losing streak of 40 and a tilt factor of 40 serve as reminders that even elite online grinders bleed rating points sometimes. The key is bouncing back,and countingblunders has turned resilience into an art form.
