Erottev: The Chess Enigma with an International Master Title
Meet Erottev, a player who has officially earned the prestigious International Master title from FIDE, and is probably the only one who treats Blitz games like an all-day marathon. Since 2017, Erottev has been dancing across the chessboard with a blitz rating skyrocketing from a modest 1890 to an impressive peak of 2701 in 2024. Bullet games? Oh yes, they've dabbled there too, reaching speeds up to 2569. If chess had a Fast & Furious spin-off, Erottev would definitely be starring.
Career Highlights and Play Style
- Blitz Games Played: Over 3,000 battles fought with 1,556 wins, proving resilience and consistency.
- Longest Winning Streak: A jaw-dropping 44 games in a row — talk about a hot streak! Currently on a modest 2-game winning streak, because even legends take coffee breaks.
- Known for a high-endgame frequency (nearly 80%), Erottev prefers grinding opponents down in those tense concluding moves rather than quick early victories.
- Early resignation rate is low (2.24%), showing a mindset that rarely admits defeat early — stubbornness or great confidence? You decide.
- Psychological resilience? Off the charts — with an astounding 86.61% comeback rate and 97.92% win rate after losing a piece, Erottev embodies the true fighting spirit.
On the Opponent Front
Erottev’s most frequent sparring partners include stalwarts like altf4598, aliencowboy, and bfishbg, with win rates that could make their opponents question their life choices. Remarkably, Erottev has held a perfect 100% win rate against numerous players with names that sound suspiciously like secret agents or fantasy characters.
Playing Hours & Mood
If you want to catch Erottev at their prime, tune in around 5 AM — yes, they’re winning over 80% of games at this surprisingly early hour! Evening hours are no slouch either, with near 60% win rates between 6 PM and 10 PM. Weekdays bring steady victories too, especially on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Fun Facts
- White pieces win rate: a comfortable 60.34%, proving doing things "first" really matters.
- Bullet play win rate is a blistering 60.4%, Blitz clocks in at a sturdy 55.5% — basically, Erottev might be part chess player, part caffeine-fuelled machine.
- Despite the fierce records and rapid conquering, Erottev’s tilt factor sits moderately at 27 — they might get frustrated, but only just enough to keep things interesting.
In summary, Erottev is a formidable, tactical-minded International Master who thrives on long endgames, has a knack for comebacks, and probably drinks suspicious amounts of coffee. For opponents facing Erottev: be prepared for a relentless battle, because quitting early is not in Erottev's vocabulary!
Hi Erottev – here is some focused, constructive feedback based on your latest blitz sessions.
What you are already doing well
- Opening repertoire is sound and flexible. With White you alternate between the English and Catalan setups; with Black you trust the Accelerated Dragon against 1.e4 and a King’s-Indian / Grünfeld hybrid against 1.d4. Your move-ordering is generally accurate and you often reach the middlegame with a pleasant position.
- Excellent tactical alertness. Examples include 13.Nxf6+ in the Anti-Benoni win and the mating net …Rd1+/Rh1# in the Accelerated Dragon. Opportunities are spotted quickly, even with little time on the clock.
- Pressure play with the g-pawn. The successive …g5 …g4 pushes versus Rasan04 show you understand when to open lines against the enemy king.
Key areas to improve
-
Time management
Four of the six recent losses were simply flagged positions, some of them objectively better or equal. 3-minute is brutal, but:- Try a shorter pre-game routine and move instantly in well-known opening lines.
- Adopt a “safe move” policy: if no clear best move is visible after 5-7 seconds, play a solid, non-committal move and keep 10-15 seconds in reserve for every endgame transition.
- Experiment with a 3 + 2 time control for training; it punishes unnecessary hesitation while still rewarding speed.
-
Conversion technique in winning endgames
Games vs. mmgworkings and ErnestoGuevaraLynch slipped away after you reached clearly superior endings.- Rehearse rook & pawn vs. rook and rook vs. passed pawns endings; a 5-minute drill on the Lichess practice tool each day pays off quickly.
- Use the “two-weakness” principle: before pushing your passer, fix the opponent’s pawns on both wings so their rook stays passive.
-
Positional patience in the Accelerated Dragon
In the loss to NAMISWAAAAAAAAAAAAN …a5–a4 was played before castling queenside pressure was neutralised, leaving weak squares on b5 & c6.- Re-check modern move-orders: delaying …a5 until White commits b2-b4 is usually safer.
- Spend one study session on the Maróczy Bind; understanding the typical pawn breaks …b5 and …d5 will stop you drifting into passive positions.
Practical training plan (2 weeks)
