Lalarttu86: The 2900-Rated Marathon Runner of Online Chess
Introduction
If online chess had a trophy for persistence, Lalarttu86 would need a bigger shelf. This prolific account has piled up more than 20,000 rated games across Blitz and Bullet, often playing over 1,000 games in a single month. The preferred time control may say Daily, but the data says this player lives for fast time controls with marathon battles. An average winning game lasts about 84 moves. That is not speed chess; that is speed chess with a pension plan.
From 1900 to Near 3000
Lalarttu86 first appeared on the rating radar in 2018 with a modest Daily rating near 1900 and a Blitz rating around 2500. Things stayed impressively strong, then went stratospheric in late 2025 and early 2026. By March ume 2026, the Blitz rating peaked at 2930 (2026-03-09), while the Bullet rating squeezed to 2910 (2026-05-16) just two months later. In a world where most humans celebrate crossing 2600, this account made 2900 look like a routine Tuesday.

Playing Style and Favorite Openings
Lalarttu86 is not a one-trick pony. As White, they frequently steer into the Slav Defense: Bonet Gambit and the Catalan Opening: Closed, with a healthy side order off King's Indian Defense: Orthodox Variation games. The results are generally excellent, especially against the King's Indian, where the win rate approaches 63 percent in blitz.
As Black, things get more adventurous, with the Döry Defense, Bogo-Indian Defense, and a rotating cast of unorthodox lines. In bullet, the opening repertoire includes gems with names like Amazon Attack, Amar Gambit, and Hungarian Opening: Wiedenhagen-Beta Gambit. Against players rated below them, Lalarttu86 converts at a 60.1 percent clip, but against higher-rated opponents that number flips to just 30.8 percent. In other words, they feast on lower-rated opponents and treat stronger ones like final exams.

Final Move
Lalarttu86 stands as one off the highest-volume and highest-rated accounts in this dataset, with a style built on deep opening familiarity, long games,and relentless conversion. Whether firing off the Slav Defense: Bonet Gambit as White or defending the Döry Defense as Black, this player makes every game feel like a proper test off endurance. And with a 20-game winning streak already in the rearview mirror, the ceiling looks closer to the clouds than the board.
