Mark Heimann - The Grandmaster Extraordinaire
Known to the chess world and his online fans as mmmflatbread, Mark Heimann has ascended to the prestigious rank of Grandmaster, a title only bestowed upon those with extraordinary skill and grit. His journey is anything but boring; imagine a strategic mind that thrives under pressure and occasionally terrifies opponents with moves so slick they seem almost sneaky.
Speed Demon with a Strategic Soul
Mark’s prowess shines brilliantly in the rapid and blitz formats, where he has achieved peak ratings of 2950 in blitz and a breathtaking 2937 in bullet chess. His aggressive and tactical style boasts an 84.64% comeback rate and a solid 50.49% win rate even after losing a piece — because quitting early is just not his thing (his early resignation rate is just 0.52%, so he’s quite the trooper!).
The King of Winning Streaks
With a longest winning streak of 18 games, Mark clearly knows how to keep the momentum going — one might think he’s got a secret stash of strategic snacks fueling him. Though sometimes even the best stumble, his longest losing streak stands modestly at 11, showing resilience in the face of setbacks.
Opening Repertoire: A Well-Guarded Secret
He might be called mmmflatbread but his opening moves are anything but flat. Mark prefers to keep his opponents guessing with "Top Secret" openings dominating his games with over 15,000 bullet games and 17,000 blitz games played under its cloak of mystery. When he reveals his hand, it's with classics like the Sicilian Defense — boasting a smashing 71.43% win rate in blitz — or the Queen's Pawn Opening, which he dominates at over 83% wins.
Chess with Character (and Humor!)
Off the board, Mark is the kind of player who probably laughs at his own clever checkmates and laments those genius moves his opponents sneak in. His games are lengthy affairs, with an average of about 78 moves per battle, proving that endurance is just as important as speed.
Recent Highlights
Mark's recent games continue to demonstrate his skill and competitive fire. Just this past June 2025, he clinched victory in a thrilling encounter using the Vienna Game - Max Lange Paulsen Variation, winning with strategic finesse and patience. Even his losses are dignified affairs, such as one against Pavlo_Nazarenko, where even in defeat the quality of play was top-notch.
The Daily Chess Tactician
While Mark shines brightest in fast formats, he’s no stranger to slower-paced daily games, boasting an unbeaten streak and a perfect 100% win record in his 31 daily games. Clearly, good things come to those who wait… or in Mark’s case, those who prepare meticulously.
Final Word
In a game of kings, knights, and queens, Mark Heimann is a true Grandmaster, blending speed, strategy, resilience, and a healthy dash of mystery. Opponents beware — when mmmflatbread sits at the board, it’s more than a game; it’s a grand performance.
