InterimTim: The Relentless Blitz Virtuoso

Meet InterimTim, a speed-chess phenom who's turned fast-paced thrills into an art form. With a peak blitz rating soaring to an impressive 2772 in March 2025, Tim embodies the electric excitement of rapid decision-making — sometimes bordering on borderline brilliant chaos.

Starting 2024 with the humble rating of 584, InterimTim rocketed through the ranks with a blend of tactical surprises and stubborn resilience. Whether blasting through bullet games with a peak rating of 2674 or showcasing precision in rapid matches (albeit with only a single game recorded), Tim's adaptability across time controls is uncanny.

Known for an average of 81 moves per win and a staggering 91.5% comeback rate, Tim refuses to quit—even when the chips are down or a piece slips away. This player practically invented the phrase "turning lemons into checkmates," boasting a 45.7% win rate after losing a piece. Opponents beware: giving InterimTim even a small advantage might just fuel their fire.

Despite a persistent tilt factor of 8 (chess emotions run deep!), Tim keeps the spirit alive with a longest winning streak of 37 games—a rollercoaster streak filled with thrilling victories and occasional bitter losses. Victory is most likely around noon, with an astonishing 65.6% win rate at 12 PM, proving Tim’s chess engine heats up when the sun is highest.

Opening repertoire is as mysterious as the name suggests, yet Tim demonstrates a penchant for tricky lines like the Alapin Sicilian, scoring a neat checkmate victory in a recent game against Serbinator_Dominator. Each game feels like a suspense thriller with bold moves, calculated risks, and a dash of creative flair.

Outside the numbers, InterimTim is a fearless fighter who turns every tick of the clock into an opportunity. Whether grinding through bullet or blitz marathons, this player’s style is defined by resilience, tactical ingenuity, and a touch of dramatic flair that makes chess just a little more fun.

“Checkmate, or bust!”—probably a motto InterimTim lives by.
