Ari Kiremitciyan, FIDE Master
Meet Ari Kiremitciyan, a chess warrior known in the digital realm as LimeInTheCoconut. With the coveted title of FIDE Master proudly earned, Ari has been on a blitz journey that skyrocketed from humble beginnings to a peak rating touching near 2650 in blitz—the kind of player who treats the 64 squares like a battlefield... and sometimes a playground.
Ari’s chess story is one of relentless dedication and a flair for tactical drama. Starting with a blitz rating just above 1000 in 2013, Ari steadily crushed the ladder, reaching new heights every year. The climb wasn’t always smooth sailing—there were losses that tested patience and wins that brought electric joy—but the average blitz rating consistently hovered around the 2400-2500 mark in recent years.
When it comes to speed, Ari’s bullet rating hits above 2300 and rapid play isn’t far behind, with wins often flowing like a well-executed gambit. This player is the embodiment of resilience—boasting a quick comeback rate and an almost supernatural ability to win after losing a piece (over 95% of the time!).
Ari prefers to keep fights long and fiery, with average games lasting over 70 moves. Endgames are a familiar playground, as this master enters the final phase of games nearly 77% of the time, demonstrating skill, patience, and probably a secret stash of endgame booklets.
Though Ari’s winning streak peaks at 21, with a current streak that screams “Still got it,” losses are accepted gracefully, keeping tilt in check at a modest 14%. On average, Ari wins more when playing White (52.22%) but certainly knows how to fight when Black (46.02%).
Off the board, Ari matches the energy of a top-secret opening—mysterious, strategic, and full of surprises. Their favorite opening? Classified, of course, guarded like a well-fortified king in the endgame.
When facing opponents, Ari has met some familiars dozens of times and has a knack for surprising even the most stubborn rivals. Recent matches include battles against nemesis usernames like nemus7 and warlordx, and many more from a vivid online chess universe.
From early morning blitz sprints to evening rapid battles, Ari’s best performance hours range widely, but peak success comes in the afternoon and early evening, showing both tactical precision and stamina.
Whether you’re looking for a fierce rival, a tactical mastermind, or just someone who’s proved that patience combined with speed can produce fireworks on the chessboard, Ari Kiremitciyan is a name worth knowing—especially if you want to test your mettle against a true FIDE Master.
