Profile Summary: hermesspeed

Meet hermesspeed, a chess virtuoso with a flair for blitz, bullet, and rapid games alike. This grandmaster of online speed chess has danced their pieces across virtually 7,000+ blitz battles, 5,000+ bullet skirmishes, and nearly 170 rapid duels — all while maintaining win rates that make casual players weep.

Since bursting onto the scene in 2021, hermesspeed's blitz rating skyrocketed from the 2100s to a blazing peak of over 2700 in 2024, proving they're not merely fast, but also fiercely strategic. Bullet play? That's another arena where hermesspeed dazzles — consistently hovering above a 2500 rating and boasting a massive game count of nearly 4,000 matches!

Known for the trademark early resignation rate of less than 1%, they fight tenaciously until the very end, averaging an epic 84 moves per win game — proving they don’t just storm through matches, but masterfully grind them out as well. Endgames? Oh yes, approximately 84% frequency means they love crafting those delicate finales.

But watch out — this player doesn’t just sit behind the board; they live for a comeback. With an astonishing 90.56% comeback rate and a mind-boggling 99.59% win rate after losing a piece, hermesspeed turns adversity into opportunity like a chess Houdini.

Opening repertoire highlights include a chicken-and-egg combo of the London System (where they refuse to lose, holding a spotless 406-game streak with zero losses!) and the dynamically tactical King's Indian Defense Neo Classical Line, winning a whopping 77% of those duels. Their Ruy Lopez Berlin Mortimer Variation? A fortress with a win rate soaring to 77% in rapid games. Clearly, hermesspeed’s toolbox is packed with weapons of choice that leave opponents scratching their heads.

On the psychological front, hermesspeed maintains a tilt factor of 11, showing that even in the heat of battle, frustration rarely gets the best of this warrior. When it comes to timing, they prefer Saturday afternoons and evenings, with win peaks around 2 PM, 3 PM, and 9 PM — probably because that’s when coffee is at full strength and brain cells are firing fastest.

One cannot talk about hermesspeed without mentioning their recent victorious encounter against SPASSKl, a classic display of precision and patience ending with a well-earned time win. A master of adaptation, hermesspeed also suffers occasional defeats (such as to Chessable_Fanatic), but those losses fuel the relentless drive to be faster, sharper, and downright unstoppable.

In short, hermesspeed is not just a blitz speedster — they’re a chess artisan who blends speed, style, and surgical precision with a dash of online bravado. Opponents beware: whether you face them in bullet, blitz, or rapid, hermesspeed will challenge every second on the clock and every pixel on the board.

“They move faster than you can blink, but think deeper than you’d expect. An exhilarating storm on the chessboard and a joy to watch (or a nightmare to face).”
