Arlan Abuzyarov: Candidate Master at Blitz Speed
Arlan Abuzyarov, known online as I0Arlan, is a FIDE Candidate Master with a clear preference for blitz chess. When the clock is short and the position is complicated, Arlan appears perfectly happy to let the chessboard become a small, legally sanctioned emergency.
His recorded results show a formidable blitz presence, including 582 wins, 498 losses, and 121 draws. The data also records a blitz peak of 2657 (2026-08-17), reflecting a player comfortable competing at a high online level.
A Fighting, Tactical Style
Arlan’s games are rarely sleepy affairs. Across the available statistics, decisive games average roughly 87 moves, while the most common checking piece is the rook. That suggests a player who is willing to fight deep into the middlegame and endgame rather than resign at the first sign of an unpleasant bishop.
A comeback rate of 89.54% is especially notable. Even after losing material, Arlan still wins 45.3% of those games, an impressive reminder that in blitz, one misplaced piece is not always a tragedy. Sometimes it is merely an invitation to complicate everything.
Opening Repertoire
Arlan’s repertoire is adventurous and varied. The Caro-Kann Defense appears frequently, particularly in bullet, while the Amar Gambit has produced strong results in blitz. The Amazon Attack: Siberian Attack is another productive choice, posting a 61.29% win rate in the recorded blitz games.
With the white pieces, Arlan has also found success in the QGD: 3.Nc3 Bb4 and the English Opening. This is not a player who believes every game must begin with the same three moves. Variety is part of the strategy, and possibly part of the entertainment budget.
Competitive Record
Arlan’s strongest results come against familiar opponents as well as in long online sessions. The record includes 11 consecutive wins at its best, balanced by a 14-game losing streak that proves even Candidate Masters occasionally discover that the clock, the position, and the mouse are all conspiring against them.
Among frequently faced opponents, Arlan has recorded a positive score against Assel Lesbekova">assellesbekova and hiphoptime. Games against darlsen have been especially competitive, with wins, losses, and draws all represented in the match record.
