Heradol: The Blitz Maestro with a Tactical Twist

Meet Heradol, a formidable chess warrior thriving in the fast-paced worlds of Blitz and Bullet chess. With peak ratings hitting 2146 in Blitz, 2123 in Bullet, and a respectable 2127 in Rapid by mid-2025, Heradol strikes fear into opponents across the board—and across the clock!

Playing Style & Strengths

Don’t blink! Heradol’s games average over 75 moves won or lost, a testament to their love of deep, grinding battles rather than quick smashes. Known for a 90% comeback rate after setbacks, this player refuses to fold early—except for a rare 2.5% early resignation rate, because hey, why waste energy on hopeless battles?

With a slight edge playing White (52.6% wins) and a nearly equal performance with Black, Heradol handles color assignments like a pro. Their favorite time to wreak havoc? The twilight hours around 2 AM, when most are asleep and Heradol’s tactical awareness peaks.

Recent Battles

Just days ago, Heradol clinched a suspenseful victory over kokomani92 in a Slav Defense Modern Line duel, last-move time pressure forcing the opponent’s clock to surrender first. The game was a rollercoaster of exchanges, culminating with Heradol’s knight and queen coordinating a brilliant attack to outmaneuver their foe.

Losses? Sure, but they’re just stepping stones. An interesting hiccup came against TrickySleeves, reminding us all that even the best can be toppled in the fierce tackle of Stonewall Attack lines.

Psychological Notes & Trivia

Heradol’s tilt factor stands at 12, modest for such a fierce competitor, meaning emotional resilience is one of their strong suits. Yet, as many rapid and blitz addicts know, the "midnight fury" hits best at early morning hours—not for the faint-hearted!
