Nail Beshirli — The International Master With a Blitzing Flair
Meet Nail Beshirli, an International Master recognized by FIDE, who proves that chess is not just a game of grandmasters but also of grand personality. Nail's journey through the board is nothing short of a thrilling rollercoaster, with tactical fireworks and impressive resilience.
Rating Highlights and Style
At their peak, Nail soared to a Blitz rating of 2718 in May 2019 and conquered the Bullet scene with a peak of 2618. Not to be overshadowed, Nail’s daily chess may not be their strongest suit yet, peaking modestly at 996, but hey, every grandmaster needs a good warm-up!
Nail's style is profoundly tactical, boasting a comeback rate of 89% — yes, that’s right, 9 out of 10 times Nail finds a way back after facing adversity. They don't shy from complexity, experimenting with long endgames (over 80 moves on average) that tire opponents into submission. Early resignations? Barely 4% — they prefer to fight till the very last move.
Blitz and Bullet Dominance
When the clocks are ticking, Nail thrives. Their blitz and bullet records read like an epic saga — over 265 wins in Blitz and an astonishing 381 wins in Bullet. Sure, Bullet is a battlefield of nerves and speed, and Nail’s nearly 46% win rate there is a testament to their sharp reflexes and quicker-than-light calculations.
Nail’s longest winning streak? A jaw-dropping 19 games — a streak that would have made even Bobby Fischer nod in approval. But even legends hit a rough patch; their longest losing streak stands at 9 games. We all have "one of those days," right?
Favorite Opening — Classified Top Secret
Nail is a master of mystery, deploying a so-called "Top Secret" opening in over 500 blitz games and 800 bullet games. The details? Well, that remains classified — but opponents know it means serious business and probably a headache in the middle game.
Psychological and Daily Nuances
Nail's best time to play is early in the morning around 6am — apparently, the perfect time to crush kings and pawns before breakfast. The tilt factor of 9 hints that Nail takes losses seriously but doesn’t let them linger — ready to jump back in the arena at a moment's notice.
Recent Triumph and Defeat
Among many notable games, Nail’s recent victory against Indianlad ended with a stylish checkmate in a cool 50 moves, demonstrating Nail's endgame mastery. Even a titan stumbles; a recent loss to Bigfish1995 reminds us that even great players can be outfoxed. After all, humility is part of the game.
