Marc Narciso Dublan - Grandmaster Extraordinaire

Marc Narciso Dublan, or marcnd when he’s logging into Chess.com, is no ordinary chess player. He's a Grandmaster, which means he’s legally allowed to crush your hopes and dreams on the board—yet somehow still keep his cool. Marc’s blitz and bullet performances are legendary, boasting peak ratings of 2659 in blitz and an eye-watering 2765 in bullet. If speed chess was an Olympic sport, he'd probably bring home the gold, the silver, and the bronze.

A quick peek at his stats reveals a player who thrives in intense, fast-paced environments: his bullet win rate is a solid 65.5% with over 1300 games played, where one misclick or a delayed move doesn’t just cost a piece, it costs dearly. Yet Marc remains a tactician par excellence—his comeback rate shines at a stunning 76.3%, proving that if you think you’ve pinned him, think again.

When it comes to openings, Marc prefers to keep his secrets under tight lock and key, as indicated by the enigmatic “Top Secret” label dominating his performance records. This means he's always one step ahead, keeping opponents guessing and spectators intrigued.

Beyond raw numbers, Marc is a finisher. His average wins last about 67 moves—long enough to build suspense, but short enough to prevent any unnecessary nail-biting for his fans. With a 67.2% win rate as White and a nearly identical 65.7% as Black, he's equally deadly wielding either color.

Recent Battle Highlights

His latest victory, secured by resignation, was a masterclass in positional play featuring the English Opening. In a whirlwind 22-move game, marcnd deftly coordinated his pieces against CalisthenicsBro, forcing the eventual surrender. His most recent defeat was a hard-fought time-pressure loss, reminding us even Grandmasters sometimes forget to hit the clock. Such moments make the chess gods smile.

Personality & Playing Style

Marc’s style screams resilience. With an incredibly low early resignation rate (1.3%), you won’t find him throwing in the towel easily—not even when the chips are down. His psychological "tilt factor" is a humble 6, indicating he keeps his cool even when things don’t go his way. Also, if you want to catch him at his best, set your chess clock for noon—his peak performance time.

In summary, Marc Narciso Dublan is a player who blends speed, deadly precision, and a touch of mystery. He’s the kind of competitor who makes you double-check the clock, re-examine your moves, and rethink your entire game plan—all before you've had your morning coffee. Watch out, chessboard: marcnd is in the house!
