Like962: The Grandmaster Behind the Moves
Like962 is not just another username on the chessboard; they are a Grandmaster officially titled by FIDE, a testament to navigating the 64 squares with surgical precision and relentless passion. Since bursting onto the blitz scene in late 2020 with a modest rating just shy of 1800, Like962 catapulted themselves into the upper echelons, peaking impressively at a 2726 blitz rating in April 2021—a number that causes mere mortals to reconsider their weekend plans.
Master of Blitz and Bullet
With over 170 blitz games under their belt and an almost-half win rate against fierce competition, Like962’s style is a rollercoaster of brilliant strategies and nail-biting finishes. Their bullet performance is even flashier, hitting a peak rating of 2804 in 2021, showcasing lightning-fast intuition paired with precise execution. Fun fact: their longest winning streak is 14 games—proof that when Like962 is on fire, the pieces just fall into place.
Playing Style and Psychology
Don’t blink, or you’ll miss it. Like962 has an endgame frequency of nearly 67 moves per game which means each battle is a cerebral marathon, not a sprint. Most opponents find out the hard way that despite early setbacks (a comeback rate near 87%), this Grandmaster rarely folds under pressure, often turning the tables whether down a piece or two. And with a tilt factor hovering at 10, Like962 is human after all—sometimes, even Grandmasters have that "Ugh, not again" moment.
Signature Openings & Rivals
Although their openings remain a “Top Secret” in official stats, Like962's record speaks volumes—facing opponents like zruikk99 and megazz multiple times, with some dubious win rates (14.29% and 15.38% respectively), it’s clear these matches are no cakewalk. Victory is sweeter over lesser-known foes, where the win rate sometimes hits a stellar 100%, proving their knack for crushing lesser resistance with surgical efficiency.
Recent Battles & Memorable Games
Most recently in April 2025, Like962 delivered a scintillating checkmate against siruntxa44 in a Sicilian Defense duel, showcasing their aggressive tactical awareness and unyielding spirit. Despite a recent loss to aska04 via a Slav Defense, the Grandmaster’s resilience promises swift revenge and even sharper play next time around.
In Summary
If chess were an Olympic sport, Like962 would be contending for gold—battling for supremacy with a grin and an arsenal of cunning tricks. Whether dominating blitz boards with dazzling speed or wrestling opponents into submission in endgames, this Grandmaster proves that dedication, talent, and a pinch of whimsy make for an indomitable chess force. Opponents, beware: the only thing predictable about Like962 is that they are unpredictably brilliant.
