Hirnakrobat20: The Brain Acrobat of Blitz Chess
If the username is anything to go by, Hirnakrobat20 is roughly German for "brain acrobat", and the label fits perfectly. This is a player who performs mental gymnastics across thousands of blitz chess games, often before the sun has even considered getting out of bed.
From 1181 to the 2400s
Hirnakrobat20 arrived on the online chess scene in November 2025 rated 1181, which is roughly the chess equivalent of a warm-up act. Then came the climb. By June 2026 the peak blitz rating had reached 2516 (2026-06-01), and the win column had swollen past 3,300 games. The rating rollercoaster is best seen to be believed:
An Opening Repertoire Built on b3
Most players push the e or d pawn and call it a day. Hirnakrobat20 prefers to start a conversation with the rook pawn. The Nimzo-Larsen Attack has been rolled out over 540 times as White, and it is only the headline act in a repertoire that also features the Bird Opening, the Amazon Attack and the occasional English. Opponents never quite know which curiosity is coming next.
Style: The Marathon Runner
- Endgames appear in nearly 80 percent of games, and the average win lasts about 78 moves. This is chess as an ultramarathon.
- The first capture usually happens around move 7. Patience is a lifestyle here.
- The comeback rate sits above 82 percent, and even after dropping a piece there is still a near coin-flip chance of salvaging the game.
- More than 900 wins have arrived by timeout. Sometimes the clock is the real victim.
- Over 500 opponents have been mated outright, with the queen doing most of the checking.
Dawn Patrol
The best hour to face Hirnakrobat20 is never. The best hour for Hirnakrobat20 to play is 5 AM, where the win rate peaks above 57 percent. Combine that with a tilt factor of just 12 and you get a player who stays serene while everyone else is asleep or furious, occasionally both at once.
Rivalries and Streaks
azali wagdi has been dispatched eight times without reply, a flawless 8-0. speeddaddy has fared better, leading the head-to-head 7-4. Streak enthusiasts will appreciate the symmetry: a longest winning streak of 12 games and a longest losing streak of 12 games. Ups and downs, perfectly balanced, like all things should be.
The Daily Chess Mystery
Slow chess barely exists in this universe. The lifetime daily record stands at two games, one win, one loss: a Vienna Gambit defeat and an English Opening victory, followed presumably by a promise to never again think for more than three minutes. Bullet has been a side quest too, peaking at 2360 in December 2025 before drifting back down, proof that even acrobats have one weaker apparatus.
Verdict
An early rising, endgame loving, b3 pushing blitz specialist who grinds out marathon wins, flags the impatient and once climbed from 1181 to over 2500 in about half a year. Respect the name. Respect the 5 AM. Bring a thermos.
