IGetFlaggedALot
IGetFlaggedALot is a FIDE International Master who treats the online blitz arena like a second home, a laboratory, and occasionally a thunderdome. Despite the username, the real story is not about moderation flags; it is about flagging clocks, outlasting opponents in marathon endgames, and crossing the 2900 blitz ceiling on the way to a 2952 (2026-05-16) peak.
Career Snapshot
This is a player built for speed. The preferred time control is clearly blitz, with more than 11,000 rated blitz games logged alongside a lighter but lively bullet schedule. The rating journey has been anything but smooth: early months swing between 2280 and 2662, before the volume explodes into a multi-year grind. The reward has been a dramatic climb into the high 2800s and even a 2952 blitz peak in May 2026.

Playing Style and Openings
IGetFlaggedALot is not afraid to go long. The average decisive game stretches past 85 moves, and endgames appear in about 86% of games. This is a player who wins by outlasting people, converting small advantages into grinding victories. The early resignation rate is low, and the comeback rate is high, meaning the game is rarely over until the last pawn falls.
With the white pieces, 1.e4 is the overwhelming calling card. The Caro-Kann Defense is a frequent guest on the board, with hundreds of games and a near even score. The Sicilian Defense also appears constantly, from the Chekhover Variation to the Closed and Richter-Rauzer lines. As Black, the Sicilian Defense remains a staple, with the O'Kelly Variation and Closed Sicilian showing up often.
Rivalries
No name appears more often across the profile than Skkyfall2005, a familiar rival across 236 games. That duel is remarkably tight, with a record of 86 wins, 91 losses and 59 draws, a true chessblood feud. Another regular is Vladimir Bilic, who has faced IGetFlaggedALot 71 times. These long-running online rivalries give the account a real sense of community: the same warriors keep returning to the virtual board to test their latest ideas.
Streaks and Quirks
- Longest winning streak: 19 consecutive wins
- Longest losing streak: 14 painful defeats
- Best time of day: 22:00, sometimes known as the flagging hour
- Bullet adventures include the wonderfully unusual Amar Gambit and the Rhamphorhynchus line of the Colle System
- One-sided loss rate below 0.5, which suggests rare blowouts and frequent fights
By the Numbers
Blitz has been the main battleground: over 4600 wins, more than 5000 losses and almost 1100 draws. The bullet record is also respectable, with over 640 wins. Rapid is a quiet side project, holding a perfectly rounded 2400 rating with only a handful of games, maybe because rapid is too slow for someone this addicted to the clock.
As White, IGetFlaggedALot wins around 45% of the time; as Black, the win rate dips to roughly 39%. The profile favours the initiative but never stops fighting from either side of the board. The final picture is an International Master who loves the fight, ignores the scoreboard panic, and genuinely seems to thrive in the most complicated, exhausting and flag-falling moments.
