The Prince of Blitz
Prince Monther, known on the board as monther515, is a blitz specialist with a resume that reads like a fever dream. In six years he went from a sub-1000 rating in July 2020 to a stunning peak Blitz rating of 2805 (2026-08-10) in August 2026. Along the way he played thousands of games, built fierce rivalries, and made the Czech Defense his personal throne room.
From Three Games to a Throne
Every empire starts small. In July 2020 Prince Monther played just three rated blitz games. He won all three. The next month he played 16 and won 15, jumping from 1257 to 1638. By February 2021 he was playing more than 100 games a month and crossed the 2000 barrier. The trajectory shows a player who simply does not stop.
A Volume Like No Other
Prince Monther does not believe in rest days. In April 2026 alone he played 1,171 blitz games. May 2026 brought 1,047 more. March 2026 saw 725, and February 2026 had 392. His busiest stretch, August 2025, included 662 games in a single month. That is not a habit. That is a lifestyle.
The Royal Repertoire
With the black pieces, Prince Monther is deeply loyal to the Czech Defense, appearing in over 1,700 of his blitz games. With white he favors the Caro-Kann Defense, the French Defense: Advance Variation, and the Sicilian Defense: Najdorf Variation. His French Advance setups often begin with the space grabbing e5 push, a typical line being
. The Blackburne Shilling Gambit has also been a fun weapon in his arsenal, winning over 58 percent of his blitz games with it.Familiar Faces
No prince rules alone. His most frequent sparring partner is DoctorPouliot, who faced him 34 times, with Prince Monther holding a narrow 17 to 14 edge. Another regular is Richard Leyva Proenza, who lost 20 of their 33 meetings. Not everyone enjoys the matchup though: lepolatupukki leads their series 16 to 11.
Style and Sorcery
Statistics paint the picture of a tenacious endgame fighter. His endgame frequency sits near 90 percent, and his average decisive game stretches past 90 moves. He comes back from losing positions at a 92.8 percent clip, and even after losing a piece he still wins 47.56 percent of the time. His most common checking piece is the rook, and his longest winning streak reached 21 games. Even his losing streaks have a royal scale: 13 straight losses at one point.
For the best chance to catch him, play on a Sunday, or set an alarm for 6 AM, when his win rate peaks above 61 percent. Avoid 7 AM, where even princes stumble.
The Crown Keeps Growing
As of August 2026, Prince Monther sits at a career high Blitz rating of 2805 (2026-08-10), with a six game winning streak in progress. He has also reached 2778 in bullet and 2518 in rapid, but blitz remains his kingdom. The lesson from his career is simple: volume, stubbornness, and a love for the Czech Defense can carry you very far indeed.
