Minh Trần - International Master Extraordinaire

Minh Trần, known in the chess realm as MinhGTrAn, holds the prestigious title of International Master awarded by FIDE. This grandmaster-in-waiting has been rattling the pawns and kings since long enough to rack up almost 5,000 bullet wins! Believe it or not, Minh's bullet play once skyrocketed to a peak rating of 2937 at the end of 2015—talk about light-speed strategy!

Style & Skills

Minh is a master of the quick and furious, excelling in bullet and blitz formats with win rates hovering around 56-58%, perfectly blending speed with tactical awareness. Don’t blink, or you’ll miss a comeback move: with a comeback rate of 82.24% and a knack for winning even after losing a piece, Minh plays like a chess ninja who isn't afraid to dance on the edge of disaster.

The chessboard sees Minh's endgames frequently— a whopping 86.03% endgame frequency means this player loves the subtle art of slow, patient checkmates. With an average of nearly 86 moves per win, endurance is clearly part of their game plan.

Battle Scars and Glory

Asking about losses? Minh’s longest losing streak was a mere 16 games, but fear not—off the board, Minh bounces back fast. The player's psychological tilt factor is a modest 16 (yes, they sometimes grumble, but not too much!). Most importantly, the daily chess clock loves Minh at dawn—the best time to challenge this formidable opponent is 8:00 AM, when brains are freshest and fingers fastest!

Among Minh’s frequent opponents, the tough nut “yaacovn” has crossed swords nearly a thousand times. Minh’s win rate here? A challenging 39.34%, proving even champions have their Kryptonite.

Recent Triumph

In a recent stunning finish on August 24, 2016, Minh delivered a crafty checkmate against MillenniumEnterprise in a tense battle of the English Opening’s Anglo-Indian variation — checkmate achieved after a steady 62 moves of pure strategic wizardry. Watch out for Minh’s rook sneaking in from the shadows!

Fun Fact

Minh’s record-breaking longest winning streak is a jaw-dropping 76 games. That’s nearly a whole chess season undefeated! So whether you play blitz or bullet, be prepared: Minh Trần is not just a player, but a chess phenomenon who makes complicated look effortless and wins look like a walk in the park.
