Meet LittleMyMoomin
Since first appearing on the scene in 2017, LittleMyMoomin has been an avid chess enthusiast, embracing the game across multiple time controls. Starting off with a Blitz rating of 1408, they quickly pushed their skills to higher levels, reaching 1876 by the end of that same year. In 2018, their Blitz rating soared to an impressive 2144 — one of their earliest peaks — showcasing how swiftly they adapted and improved their playing style.
Over the years, Blitz has remained their favorite battleground, with 2018 being especially prolific: over a thousand games played and a remarkable blend of wins and hard-fought losses. By 2023, they maintained strong Blitz performances, settling on a near-peak of 2012. In total, they’ve notched up well over a thousand Blitz wins, reflecting both dedication and a sustained competitive drive.
While Blitz remains their signature format, LittleMyMoomin has also ventured into Rapid, Bullet, and even Daily chess. They have shown flashes of brilliance in Rapid (topping out at 1929 in 2020) and have proven they can handle the frenzy of Bullet games, reaching an 1885 peak in 2022. Not one to shy away from longer battles, they tried their hand at a few Daily games in 2023, remaining unbeaten in that format so far.
Known for an energetic, often attacking style, LittleMyMoomin exhibits a preference for strong opening systems like the Ruy Lopez and aggressive Sicilian setups. Their tactical awareness shines in short, decisive victories — they typically register wins in about 23 moves, suggesting a talent for swift attacks and early finishing blows. Still, they have proven resilience in tougher situations, with the ability to pull through even after losing material.
On average, LittleMyMoomin boasts a slightly higher win rate when wielding the white pieces, though they also maintain a respectable record with black. They clearly relish volatility in the opening phase, but remain perfectly capable of navigating deeper endgames when necessary — nearly a third of their matches carry on to endgame territory.
With a longest winning streak standing at 14 games, a willingness to try new ideas, and a steadfast approach to Blitz and Rapid chess, LittleMyMoomin’s competitive spirit is evident. Whether you face them at a lightning-fast bullet tempo or in a more drawn-out classical scenario, be prepared — their creativity, willingness to push for dynamic positions, and knack for capitalizing on small advantages make them an opponent not to be underestimated.
