International Master Followyourdreams123

Meet Followyourdreams123, an International Master who dances on the 64 squares with a style that's as impressive as their title. Since earning the prestigious IM title from FIDE, this player has been steadily climbing and dazzling opponents across rapid, blitz, bullet, and daily chess formats.

A Chess Virtuoso with a Blazing Blitz

While their rapid rating hovers around the 2400 mark, it’s in blitz where Followyourdreams123 truly shines – peaking at an exhilarating 2639! With over 2300 games played in blitz and a win rate surpassing 50%, they are an unstoppable force when the clock ticks fast. Bullet games showcase similar dominance, maintaining an impressive 70% win rate on their trademark “Top Secret” openings, proving that whether the time is short, shorter, or light speed, Followyourdreams123 is always a strategic threat.

The Tactical Swiss Army Knife

With a comeback rate nearly hitting 84% and a shockingly high 97% win rate after losing a piece, Followyourdreams123 is the very definition of resilience. Losing pieces? No problem – this player turns adversity into advantage, and losses into hilarious lessons. Their longest winning streak of 11 games is evidence that once they get going, good luck trying to stop them!

Playing Style: Patient, Persistent, and Occasionally Puzzling

Don’t expect quick resignations here—the early resignation rate is a humble 1.45%, because Followyourdreams123 fights fiercely to the bitter end. Games tend to be lengthy affairs, with an average of 76 moves per win, so bring snacks if you plan to spectate! Endgames are a particular passion, appearing in more than 75% of their games, highlighting a deep mastery of closing out victories like a cunning grandmaster.

Psychologist of the Board (and Slightly Moody)

Chess is as much mental as it is tactical. While Followyourdreams123’s tilt factor is a modest 8 (hey, a few grumbles are normal), their rated versus casual win difference suggests that seriousness sometimes rattles the nerves. Maybe that's why their best hours are at 23:00 and 1:00 AM—apparently, the night owl mindset does wonders for crushing pieces and dreams alike.

The Opponents’ Nemesis

With a rich roster of opponents, some have learned the hard way that facing Followyourdreams123 means a 100% loss rate (we’re looking at you, jemythesaint and darkestdungeon1!). Others might still be wondering what hit them, as this IM’s lethal precision and secret weapon openings leave little room for mercy.

In Short

Followyourdreams123 is more than just a chess player; they are a puzzle lover, a battlefield tactician, and occasionally a psychological enigma wrapped in a Rook's conundrum. Always ready to follow their dreams—and likely your queen, too—this IM personifies the relentless spirit of chess with a sprinkle of humor and a dash of midnight madness.

Keep your eyes on the board and your knights ready, because Followyourdreams123 is coming for your king!
