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
