Kanan Heydarli - International Master Extraordinaire
Meet Kanan Heydarli, known in chess circles and online as Heydarli77, an International Master certified by FIDE and a wizard of the 64 squares. A player whose tactical genius shines brightest in blitz games – because who doesn’t love thinking fast and winning faster?
Kanan’s journey through chess ratings reads like a rollercoaster designed by a grandmaster: rapid ratings fluctuating around the low 2200s, while blitz performances soared past 2500 in peak moments, leaving opponents wondering if they've just faced a chess-playing cheetah. Daily chess is their secret lair, boasting an astonishing 89% win rate, hinting they're a formidable foe even in their downtime.
Their strategic approach? Oh, it's a cocktail of patience and precision, with an endgame frequency of over 82% – because Kanan firmly believes that the endgame is where legends are forged. And when the chips are down, this player’s comeback rate is a staggering 91%, showing an indomitable spirit that refuses to surrender even after losing a key piece (in fact, Kanan wins 100% of the games after losing a piece—talk about turning lemons into winning positions).
Fans would tell you about Kanan’s longest winning streak of 15 games—proof that when inspiration strikes, it strikes hard. Although not currently riding a streak, the battle-tested IM’s win rates favor playing White slightly more than Black, and their games tend to be marathons averaging 80 moves – a testament to their endurance and love for deep, complex battles.
Outside the battlefield, Kanan’s psychological resilience is notable with a low tilt factor, proving that losing a game never sparks a meltdown but a fueled motivation to come back stronger. Just don’t challenge them after 6 AM—their win rate dips a bit during the wee hours, suggesting that even chess machines need their beauty sleep.
Dominating opponents from “abhisheksingh5” (100% win rate) to “kg_start” (also a perfect record), and holding varying rivalries across the board, Kanan’s reputation is respected and feared. Whether it’s rapid, blitz, or daily, Kanan Heydarli is here to prove that chess isn’t just a game, it’s an epic saga.
