Cemil Can Ali Marandi

Grandmaster Extraordinaire

Meet Cemil Can Ali Marandi, a chess Grandmaster whose brain is basically a supercomputer disguised as a human. Since bursting onto the scene, Cemil — also known in the digital kingdom as Last7Samurai — has been navigating the 64 squares with the precision and grace of a ninja samurai on caffeine.

Rated consistently near the top, Cemil's bullet rating once soared to a blazing 2868, blitz peaked at an astonishing 2950, and rapid topped out at a solid 2827. Daily chess? A cool 2229 at peak. This is no mere mortal pawnslinger; this is the real deal.

Specialist in rapid-fire attacks and tactical strikes, Cemil’s bullet games feature thousands of fierce battles, with an impressive 2055 wins—not bad for someone who makes decisions in a blink! The GM is known for patiently weaving his endgame spells, with a penchant for games dancing into nearly 49 moves per win.

His opening repertoire is as mysterious as a secret dojo: "Unknown Opening" games show an epic win rate of over 96% in daily chess and consistently strong performances in bullet and blitz formats as well. If there’s a secret sauce in openings, Cemil is cooking with it.

Known for a psychological resilience with a comeback rate of 56.78% and a "comeback king" aura, Cemil keeps calm and carries on even after losing pieces. Beware the Grandmaster who tilts only 23%—he folds older than a samurai sword, but only when absolutely necessary.

Personality & Playing Style

  • Likes to fight till the end — average over 48 moves in victorious battles
  • Prefers white, scoring a healthier 62.11% win rate with those legendary white pieces
  • Known for strategic patience and precision rather than early resignations (though they do happen about a third of the time... because hey, nobody’s perfect!)
  • Best time to challenge him? Around 10 PM—his sharpest hour (or midnight oil burning time)

Fun Fact

Despite being a tactical wizard with thousands of wins, he still manages to keep a sense of humor—surely he’s the only GM who can simultaneously analyze complex endgames and crack jokes about how the pawns had more social life than him.

Recent Battles

His last victories are textbook examples of strategic brilliance, finishing games by graceful resignation victories. It’s like losing to Cemil is an honorary badge—you just survived a masterclass. And when defeat comes? Well, it’s just another move in the grand game of getting better.

Chess fans and opponents alike can follow his games live, just remember: facing Cemil Can Ali Marandi is never just a game—it’s an adventure.
