The Blitz Machine
Ulrich Schulze, who logs in as jimmy-schlumpf, is a FIDE International Master with a serious passion for fast chess. He has played nearly 19,000 rated blitz games since 2022 and reached a peak 2541 (2025-12-10) in December 2025. His rating graph,
, shows a player who keeps climbing back to the top after every rough stretch.Repertoire of a Speed Specialist
Ulrich does not play it safe. As White, he has made the King's Indian Attack and the offbeat Hungarian Opening: Wiedenhagen-Beta Gambit part of his brand, and his 1.Nf3 move counts are enormous. As Black, the Alekhine Defense is his most visited address, with more than 2,300 appearances across time controls. He also carries the Grünfeld Defense in his toolkit, though it can be a double-edged weapon.
His games tend to run long; wins average around 69 moves, which fits a player who is patient before the fireworks start.
Rivalries and Late-Night Habits
Ulrich's fiercest online rivalry is with Tom Borvander, who has faced him 110 times. The score sits at 53 wins, 43 losses, and 14 draws. He also battles JAO_2905 and Jorge A González Rodríguez regularly, and those matches rarely stay calm.
His best results come around 21:00, and his comeback rate of 84.41 percent means he is never quite out of a game. Even after giving up a piece, he keeps winning 44 percent of the time. A longest winning streak of 15 games and a longest losing streak of 11 show a player who is always willing to take risks.
