Chess-Pacman GM

Grandmaster Chess-Pacman (aka Inopov)

Once a humble player rating barely over 1000 in blitz, Chess-Pacman, also known as Inopov, has power-munched their way up to the elite ranks of chess mastery, proudly bearing the Grandmaster title awarded by FIDE. From 2012's early days with a shaky 1200 blitz rating where losses seemed to be Pacmen ghosts, to peak ratings soaring above 2550 in blitz and 2550 in bullet, this player has gobbled up competition with relentless energy and strategic prowess.

Playing Style & Strengths

Chess-Pacman is a tactician with nerves of steel and a touch of mischievous tenacity. Their games are marathon quests often ending well past 60 moves—averaging 68 moves per win and nearly 76 per loss—showcasing patience and deep endgame understanding. A remarkable 86.3% comeback rate highlights their refusal to be defeated, even when down material. Worth noting is a slightly quirky early resignation rate of 0.55, proving that Chess-Pacman knows when to cut losses and chase new adventures (or power-pellets).

Statistical Power Pellets

• Peak Blitz Rating: 2552 (October 2018)
• Peak Bullet Rating: 2550 (March 2014)
• Peak Rapid Rating: 2497 (February 2019)
• Blitz Win Rate: 53.29% opening with a "Top Secret" weapon (seriously, the name alone is mysterious!)
• Longest Winning Streak: 11 games (sustained ghost-chomping)
• Opponent highlights: A mixed bag, having a 53% win rate against their most-fought rival gmjoey1 over 151 sashays of the board.

When To Catch 'Em Playing?

The grandmaster glides best around late evening to midnight hours, boasting win rates approaching 60% between 10pm and 11pm. If you want to challenge them, don't show up around 3 or 9 am—battles then get tricky. The official "best time of day to play" is 1 PM—a perfect hour for strategic maneuvers before afternoon snacks.

Recent Triumph & Trials

Chess-Pacman's latest victory unfolded against Alikhan_Irgaliyev in February 2019, showcasing skilled strategy and precise execution in a Reti opening gambit. However, even the mighty have their ghosts: a recent defeat by the same opponent ended in checkmate, reminding us all that even Grandmasters must occasionally respawn.

In Summary

Chess-Pacman isn't just a player; they are a force of nature, devouring the chessboard one game at a time with grit, style, and a pinch of retro arcade nostalgia. Whether blitz, bullet, or rapid, Inopov’s journey tells a tale of ups, downs, and the enduring spirit of competitive zest.
