Eltaj Safarli GM

Grandmaster Eltaj Safarli

Meet Eltaj Safarli, a chess Grandmaster who dances on the 64 squares with a style as sharp as his opening repertoire is 'Top Secret.' With a peak bullet rating soaring up to an electrifying 2922 and blitz zenith at a solid 2866, Eltaj embodies the thrilling intensity of rapid-fire chess.

Born for speed and precision, Eltaj’s bullet games are nothing short of spectacular, boasting a whopping 240 wins out of 413 battles fought — and yes, all while maintaining the nerves of steel needed to pull off a dazzling 17-game winning streak. It’s rumored his secret weapon is an uncanny ability to keep calm and carry on even when down a piece, with a comeback rate over 93% and winning more than half the time after losing material!

Blitz, bullet – you name it, Eltaj has conquered it. His blitz win rate tiptoes above 62%, which makes him the kind of opponent who can turn your tactical dreams into nightmares. Playing mostly with the codename EltajSafarli, he often brings the heat during prime chess time: early mornings at 5 AM, when most of us are still hitting snooze, he's already three moves deep and outwitting others.

Known for an aggressive, endgame-focused style, he doesn’t shy away from long strategic duels—his average winning game stretches over 82 moves (which surely means he’s as patient as a saint and twice as cunning). And if things ever get rough, his early resignation rate stands at just 0.6%, so don’t expect him to surrender easily.

His record hints at a fascinating psychology: Eltaj is less fond of Sundays (a mere 26.67% win rate), yet come Wednesday or Saturday, he’s practically a chess gladiator with win rates flirting around 65-76%. Clearly, weekends are for winners... except Sunday, which might be reserved for strategic napping.

Notable Victories

One recent gem saw Eltaj execute a beautiful checkmate against Sergei Zhigalko in the Closed Sicilian Defense, showcasing his impeccable timing and knight maneuvers that would make even the toughest opponents reconsider their life choices.

Famous Opponents

Eltaj has tangled multiple times with top talents like Georg Meier, Tigran L. Petrosyan, and the legendary Hikaru Nakamura. While Hikaru managed to outwit him a few times, Eltaj holds a respectable nearly 49% score against Meier, proving he’s no one’s pushover.

So whether it's a blitz blitzkrieg or a bullet bulletstorm, Eltaj Safarli is a name to remember—the Grandmaster whose moves are as cryptic as his "Top Secret" opening stats, and whose chess battles are worth every second of your precious clock time.

Warning: Challenging him may result in rapid checkmates, knight forks, and a bruised ego. Play wisely!
