Profile: Nalatac
Meet Nalatac, a cunning mind on the 64 squares, sporting the prestigious title of FIDE Master. With a knack for blitz battles and rapid-fire decisions, Nalatac is a force to be reckoned with—unless they are running late for their morning coffee, at which point the pawns might just rebel.
Chess Journey & Style
Starting out in the chilly days of 2011 with a modest blitz rating around 1400, Nalatac has since rocketed up to a blistering peak blitz rating of 2451 in late 2019. Their rapid and bullet performances also dazzle, hitting peaks above 2200 and 2000, proving they can dance through time controls like a grandmaster of chaos. Known for an impressively high comeback rate of 84.5%, this player rarely gives up even if it seems their knight ran off for a snack.
Early resignations? A rare occurrence at only 0.5%. Endgames are their playground, appearing in nearly 80% of their wins. And those wins tend to be thorough, often dragging out over 75 moves on average — chess marathons are their specialty.
Favorite Openings & Signature Moves
Nalatac’s chess repertoire reads like a grandmaster’s playlist. In blitz, they often channel the spirit of the Modern Defense, recording impressive win rates above 52%. The Queen's Pawn Opening and the mysterious Van ’t Kruijs Opening are also part of their secret sauce, winning over 55% and 57% respectively — talk about keeping opponents guessing! Bullet enthusiasts beware: their Pirc Defense yields a perfect 100% win rate in the few games they've dared to try it.
