Margus Older - The Enthusiastic Chess Journeyman
Margus Older, sometimes known in the online chess world as Mehikesemale, has been boldly battling through the ranks of blitz chess since 2014. With a peak blitz rating nudging just under 1350, Margus is the kind of player who might not always win the tournament but guarantees an entertaining and educational chess escapade - like a grandmaster-in-training who occasionally leaves his pieces out on a stroll.
His journey is a rollercoaster of ups and downs, famously maintaining a nearly equal number of wins and losses in over 39,000 blitz games. His win-loss record shows he’s not afraid to dive into the tactical fray, boasting a stunning 100% win rate after losing a piece — because who needs all their pieces to succeed, right? Margus’s knack for comebacks is quite legendary among his opponents.
Margus excels at endgames, engaging there in more than 74% of his battles with patient precision. Maybe it’s his secret love for slow, thoughtful strategy after all those lightning-fast rumbles. Despite a modest early resignation rate of less than 1%, he's clearly not one to choke under pressure, even if his tilt factor (a technical term for getting frustrated) occasionally hits a humble 14.
Not just a blitz warrior, Margus dabbles in rapid and daily formats with mixed results, and even took on bullet chess once or twice — proving he’s game for any speed. His longest winning streak of 15 games adds some sparkle to his resilient playing style.
Analyzing Margus’s performance by time, he seems quite the early bird, performing best in the wee hours with win rates soaring above 55% at 1 AM and a respectable 50% in the mornings. By day, his results hover around average, but come Monday or Wednesday, he manages to tip the scale in his favor.
Off the board, Margus is known for his humor and sometimes cryptic online chess alias, but on the board, he embraces the chaos of "Top Secret" openings with nearly 49% success in blitz — now that’s a secret worth keeping!
So, whether you’re a casual player or a seasoned veteran, facing Margus means entering a battlefield where every game might turn into a fight for glory, or at the very least, a good story for the chess club newsletter. Just watch out for those unexpected comebacks — Margus Older will keep you guessing until the very last move.
