Profile of LarinD: The Enigmatic Blitz Maestro

LarinD is not your average chess fanatic. With a blitz rating fluctuating between the mid-2000s and soaring over 2300 by 2025, this player shows the persistent heart of a warrior and the cunning mind of a grand strategist—even if the grandmaster title is still just a future ambition.

Since bursting onto the blitz scene in 2017 with a solid rating around 2073, LarinD has danced on the 2200+ rating stage for much of their career, peaking at an impressive 2357 in 2018 and hitting a recent high of 2350 in 2025. A perfect storm of quick thinking and lightning-fast reflexes, they are a force to be reckoned with on the 5-minute battlefield.

Playing more than 4,600 blitz games with a win rate slicing just over 50%, LarinD favors secrecy and mystery—embracing an opening repertoire named “Top Secret” where nearly every move is a calculated enigma. Opponents beware: about half the time you face LarinD, victory is a dicey prospect.

But don't mistake their cautious demeanor for passivity. With a longest winning streak of 14 games, and a comeback rate near 87%, LarinD has proven time and again that throwing in the towel early is not on their agenda. In fact, their 100% win rate after losing a piece suggests resilience bordering on the heroic. Sacrifice a knight? LarinD will make sure it was worth it.

When under pressure, LarinD sometimes dances on the edge of the "tilt factor" scale, holding steady at a modest 8 out of 10, proving mental toughness but also a pinch of human frustration. They cleverly close games with a marathon average of 70 moves when victorious—talk about endurance for a blitz specialist!

A true night owl, LarinD’s most productive hours hover around late evening and early morning, winning more than 56% of games played in the wee hours of the night. Perhaps a secret caffeine-fueled ritual or tactical inspiration strikes when the rest of the world sleeps.

Whether taking the white pieces or the black, LarinD maintains a balanced success rate (around 50%), indicating a well-rounded mastery of both attack and defense. Their penchant for hardcore endgames—engaging in long fights in nearly 74% of matches—shows a player who prefers battles that stretch their chess intellect to the limits.

Notably, many opponents like perfectenergy96zm, sizdemiantalyaya, and mrgreeneyes were swept away with 100% defeat rates, proving LarinD’s knack for exploiting weaknesses and capitalizing on mistakes.

In short, LarinD is the elusive chess ninja blending solid technique, endurance, and a dash of mystery. So next time you feel confident against them in blitz, remember: victory is never guaranteed when facing a “Top Secret” weapon.
