Inspektor_Rex: The Grandmaster on the Case

When it comes to blitz and bullet chess, few players strike as sharply and as fast as Inspektor_Rex. Earning the prestigious title of Grandmaster from FIDE, this mysterious figure prowls the 64 squares like their namesake canine detective—always ready to sniff out weaknesses and pounce on opportunities.

Since 2020, Inspektor_Rex has been a formidable force in the fast-paced world of online blitz and bullet chess. With a peak blitz rating soaring above 3000, specifically 3030 in mid-2022, and an even more impressive bullet best of 3041, this player is no stranger to thrilling, razor-sharp encounters where every second counts.

Known for an exceptional endgame skillset—with nearly 90% of their games going deep into the final phase—the Grandmaster thrives in long, strategic struggles, averaging around 90 moves per game regardless of outcome. Unlike your average speedster who blinks and moves, Inspektor_Rex keeps a cool demeanor and rarely resigns early, making comebacks a trademark (88% comeback rate to be precise!). Truly, this player gives “play to the bitter end” a whole new meaning.

Battle-tested across hundreds of games, Inspektor_Rex has locked horns with notable opponents like ominousomen and danielnaroditsky, sometimes losing their tail, but never their spirit. Their opponent win-rates vary drastically—scoring a perfect 100% against many but struggling below 25% against some rising stars—showcasing a portfolio filled with fierce rivalries and dramatic encounters.

Inspektor_Rex's opening play is, unsurprisingly, top secret; after all, every good detective keeps a few tricks up their sleeve. But the player is proud to hold a solid 48% win rate in blitz games overall, particularly favoring the afternoons with an astonishing 78% win rate around 4 PM, proving that this detective is fully alert just when others start to yawn.

A few other fun facts:

  • Longest winning streak: an impressive 13 games in a row—talk about being on a hot streak!
  • Psychological resilience? With a low tilt factor of 11, this Grandmaster keeps their cool better than most.
  • When the clock hits 16:00, that's Inspektor_Rex's prime hunting hour—beware the stealthy strike.
