The Blitz Baron and Tactician Extraordinaire
When it comes to lightning-fast moves and brain-bending strategies,
internationalcoach is a name that echoes across the virtual chess boards.
From humble beginnings in 2015 with a modest blitz rating of 1364, this player has since
rocketed through the ranks to a peak blitz rating of 2805 in June 2020 – yes, you read that right,
above 2800, which means serious business in chess circles.
With over 400 games logged in blitz alone and a winning record that boasts 254 wins
against only 139 losses, internationalcoach proves that casual “checkmate” is never in their
vocabulary. They wield openings like the Sicilian Defense Taimanov Bastrikov and the Alapin Sicilian with
impressive win rates around 60-80%, crushing opponents who dare step on their turf.
Not Just a Bullet Blaster… But a Rapid Sharpshooter Too
While blitz is their arena, they also dabble confidently in bullet and rapid formats,
hitting a juicy peak bullet rating of 2601 in April 2022 and a respectable rapid rating just above 2000.
Maybe they’re also the kind of coach who can switch gears, speeding through bullet games or methodically outwitting
in rapid play.
Strategy & Style
A connoisseur of early endgames with a feast of 78% endgame frequency,
internationalcoach loves long, drawn-out battles – their average winning game clocks
nearly 74 moves! (Because who needs brevity when checkmate can be so satisfying?)
Their psychological resilience is also top-notch with a comeback rate of 85% – so don’t
be surprised if you see them snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
Favorite Openings (Preferably with a bang!)
- Sicilian Defense Taimanov Bastrikov Variation – crafty and aggressive
- Alapin Sicilian Defense – subtle positional maneuvers with a punch
- Scotch Game Classical Variation – sometimes a love-hate relationship but played fearlessly
- Kings Indian Defense Samisch (in Rapid!) – a sharp surprise move that won a recent game
Fun Fact
Their best time of day to play? 2:00 AM. Clearly, internationalcoach prefers to wreak havoc under the
cover of moonlight. Maybe caffeine is the secret weapon, or perhaps the pawns listen better at night.
Recent Notable Game Highlight
In a commanding game on June 24, 2024, internationalcoach demolished tommy582k with the Kings Indian Defense, Samisch Normal Defense. After a relentless kingside assault and some classic tactical fireworks,
victory came by resignation. You can see the precision and power in every move:

What’s next for this midnight warrior? More brilliant moves, more chalkboard
battles, and probably a lot more early-morning checkmates. Keep an eye on internationalcoach – the chessboard is their kingdom.
