Chess Player Profile: ludogorec
Meet ludogorec, a bullet chess aficionado who made a blazing entrance in 2016 with a perfect 1-0 record at 1417 rating—talk about a grandmaster debut in the Blitzkrieg format of chess!
Over the years, ludogorec’s bullet rating rocketed from modest beginnings (~1100 in 2018) to a jaw-dropping peak of 3008 in 2025—the kind of rating that would make even Magnus Carlsen blink twice. With over 11,700 wins in bullet alone, this player is no stranger to rapid-fire tactics and lightning decisions.
Interestingly, his blitz escapades tell a story of steady improvement and adaptation, reaching up to 2726 at peak, while rapid performance shows a solid and strategic mind with peaks in the 2200s. Also, in daily chess, ludogorec keeps it casual but committed, dabbling with enthusiasm.
Playing Style & Psychological Trends
- Endgame Frequency: 79.36% - Clearly, not just a flash player; ludogorec loves the grind and loves endgames!
- Average Moves Per Win: About 83 moves, which suggests patience and persistence, rather than one-move knight forks … mostly.
- Comeback Rate: An astonishing 88.66% — when down, ludogorec rises like a phoenix fueled by caffeine and sheer determination.
- Win Rate After Losing a Piece: Almost magical 99.97%, proving that sometimes sacrifice is the best form of attack.
- Psychological Tilt Factor: 22 — which means ludogorec has seen some ups and downs but bounces back stronger, unless there’s a losing streak involving pawns running sideways.
Favorite Openings
Opening repertoire is a classy blend of Reti, Nimzowitsch-Larsen Attack, and the reliable Caro-Kann Defense. ludogorec enjoys mixing up kingside fianchettos and symmetrical defenses, confusing opponents enough to gain a tactical edge.
Opponent Records & Streaks
With a longest winning streak of 45 games, ludogorec can sometimes steamroll rivals like a charging knight. The current winning streak stands strong at 3, so watch out!
He’s squared off over 1000 times against an opponent named morphy1984, showing dedication or perhaps a bit of friendly rivalry. Fun fact: ludogorec holds a 100% win rate against some opponents—maybe those players have already learned to fear the name.
In a Nutshell
If you ever find yourself staring down ludogorec’s bullet clock, better be quick and nimble — this player blinks less than the queen’s maneuvers and can convert a lost piece into a winning point faster than you can say “checkmate”. He’s a true chess warrior, equally adept at pounding out blitz games or grinding through marathon bullet battles. Come for the speed; stay for the magic.
