Тимур - The Enigmatic Blitz Warrior
Meet Тимур, the chess enthusiast whose rapid-fire blitz games are as thrilling as a rollercoaster ride — full of ups, downs, and the occasional hair-raising twist. With a peak blitz rating hovering just shy of 900 (898 to be exact), Тимур has shown a knack for lightning-fast strategy and a willingness to dive into complex endgames that keep opponents guessing.
A Glimpse into the Numbers
- Blitz: Peaked at 898 in March 2025 with over 500 games played, splitting wins and losses evenly at 254 each, plus 27 draws. That’s a lot of battles fought on the speed chess battlefield!

Style & Psychology
Always ready to learn from a loss and bounce back, Тимур's comeback rate is a staggering 71%, proving resilience is top-tier. With an early resignation rate of under 3%, this is a player who fights until the very end. The knack for long battles shows up in the average moves per win (64) and loss (62) — a true testament to deep strategic battles rather than quick traps.
His best time to strike? 3 AM — when most players are dreaming, Тимур is scheming.
Openings - A Well-Kept Secret
Timur’s favorite opening? Well, it’s “Top Secret” in Blitz and Rapid, dominating over a thousand games with nearly 50% win rates. He’s also dabbled (and won!) with the Scandinavian Defense: Mieses Kotrc Variation — a subtle way of saying he enjoys unpredictable and less-traveled paths. Vienna and King's Pawn openings have been tougher terrains, but hey, every warrior has their battles to learn from.
Memorable Battles
In his latest triumph, Тимур embraced classic Scandinavian Defense wizardry to outmaneuver opponent biedrunello by resignation on May 10, 2025. But even champions stumble; a memorable loss by checkmate to Zairov_Tanat just a day before shows that chess is never boring in Тимур’s arena.

Facing foes from "zerotolerans_77" (26 clashes) to "krishnapkp" (22 bouts), Тимур keeps a cool head even amidst fierce rivalries. Some opponents see no mercy (win rates at 100%), while others expose the occasional struggle. But every match adds a new story; every opponent fuels the will to sharpen those tactical claws.
