Who Is Judograndmaster?

Judograndmaster is an online chess player whose username promises mastery of both the judo mat and the 64 squares. Since appearing on the digital board in May 2018, this player has turned Blitz chess into a full contact sport. The name may be playful, but the volume is very real.

With more than 21,000 rated games, Judograndmaster has built a reputation as one of the most active competitors in the arena. The workload breaks down into over 11,400 Blitz games and nearly 9,700 Bullet games, with a smaller but effective dose of Rapid chess.

The rating journey is a story of slow and steady improvement. Judograndmaster climbed from a modest 1050 Blitz rating to a career high of 1821 (2025-03-01), and once reached 2291 (2025-04-24) in Bullet chess. That is a long way from the first lonely loss in May 2018.

Judograndmaster and the Grandmaster Sized Rivalry

Every warrior needs a rival, and Judograndmaster found one in Binyamin Soloveichik. The two have clashed an incredible 205 times in rated play. The head to head score is 50 wins, 131 losses, and 24 draws for Judograndmaster. On paper that looks one sided; in practice, it is a masterclass in persistence.

If chess is a game of throws, grandmaster893 has been doing most of the throwing. Yet Judograndmaster keeps coming back with a smile, or at least with a rematch request. The longest winning streak is 18, and the longest losing streak is 13, but neither number was ever enough to end the rivalry.

The Opening Repertoire of Judograndmaster

Judograndmaster loves 1.e4 and has a taste for sharp and unorthodox systems. The most played opening in the entire repertoire is the Amazon Attack, a queen early weapon unleashed 735 times in Blitz. When the mood gets mischievous, out comes the Amar Gambit or the Blackburne Shilling Gambit.

As Black, Judograndmaster is a loyal customer of the Caro-Kann Defense, the Scandinavian Defense, and the French Defense. The Caro-Kann has been especially kind, delivering a 53.49% win rate in Blitz and an 88.89% score in Rapid chess across 9 games.

Judograndmaster: A Marathon Mind in a Sprint World

The playing style stats paint the picture of a relentless competitor. With an endgame frequency of 56.03%, an average of nearly 58 moves per win, and an early resignation rate of only 4.38%, Judograndmaster makes every opponent work for the full point.

Losing a piece is not the end of the fight. The comeback rate sits at 79.88%, and the win rate after dropping a piece is 45.74%. Even when the position looks hopeless, this judoka finds a way to throw one last counter.

Curiously, the best time of day to face the board is 08:00, and the tilt factor of 13 is either an omen for opponents or a warning label. In 2026, his checkmate deliveries finally jumped, proving that this player can finish with a knockout and not just a clock advantage.
