Meet LM_KVS
LM_KVS is a FIDE Master who has turned online blitz into a personal laboratory, a competitive sport, and apparently a full-time job. Blitz is clearly the preferred time control: more than 5,900 games, a rating that has touched 2968 (2026-07-10), and a style that says "why calculate forever when you can flag them at 2 AM?"
The Blitz Ascent
The story begins in March 2021, when LM_KVS surfaced with a provisional rating of 1766 and then spent the month zigzagging to 2534. That is a lot of blitz in 31 days. From there the climb continued: 2700s in 2023, 2800s in 2025, and a truly dangerous 2900s run by mid-2026.
Longest winning streak? 12 games. Longest losing streak? 9 games. Both are respectable, but the comeback rate of 86.87% suggests LM_KVS would rather dig out of a lost position than lead the whole game.
Opening Repertoire
LM_KVS is not afraid of repeated appointments. The Caro-Kann Defense leads the database with over 400 games, followed closely by the Sicilian Defense: Najdorf Variation, the Italian Game: Two Knights Defense, and a taste for the Amazon Attack. If you want to prepare, bring a big board and a bigger memory.
Rivalries
A true grinder needs familiar faces. Against eates, LM_KVS has a comfortable 24-6-4 record. Paul Szuper has been a tougher dance partner, with 34 meetings and a nearly even score. And Vjacheslav Weetik deserves a medal for holding a plus score over LM_KVS in their 33-game series.
Quirks and Curiosities
