nandabagus: The Blitz Maestro with a Dash of Rapid Flair

Meet nandabagus, a cunning chess explorer who navigates the 64 squares like a seasoned adventurer—though sometimes more Indiana Jones than Magnus Carlsen. With a peak blitz rating of 880 achieved in February 2025 and a rapid best of 1134, nandabagus mixes aggressive openings with a tendency to keep opponents on their toes.

Style & Strategy

Preferring the Rapid time control, nandabagus thrives when the clock ticks just fast enough to induce both thrills and mild panic. Their blitz games are a rollercoaster from 467 to a high of 880 rating, reflecting spontaneous brilliance often sprinkled with a pinch of chaos.

Famous for favoring the King's Pawn Opening with a highly respectable 72.73% win rate in blitz, and the Van Geet Opening, nandabagus doesn’t shy away from less trodden paths, occasionally switching to the Nimzowitsch Defense with mixed results (40% win rate, if you’re curious). Perhaps they enjoy a good challenge—or just want to keep things interesting.

Record & Rivalries

Over 239 blitz games played, nandabagus has a slightly rocky overall record (107 wins vs 128 losses), but their fighting spirit is evident with streaks like a longest winning run of 8 games and a comeback success rate of over 71%! Clearly, giving up is not in the lexicon here—at least not immediately.

Beware if you go up against players like joi_matobkai, aman14chessmaster, or narrrut, as nandabagus holds a perfect 100% win record versus them recently. Then again, opponents like onablink and gerardmanjoui have snapped nandabagus’s winning streaks with a score of 0% against these undefeated challengers.

Psychology of a Player

nandabagus’s best hour to strike is dazzlingly precise: 19:00, when their win rate hits a perfect 100%. Mornings? Well, let's say they shine brighter as the sun sets. And when the chips are down, their tilt factor is modest at 9, proving that even passionate warriors can keep cool under pressure.

Game Highlights

One recent sensational finish was a checkmate victory using the Grob Opening, a line as bold and unexpected as nandabagus’s style itself:

This shows nandabagus's flair for tactics and love for surprising the adversaries in rapid-fire combat.

Parting Thoughts

nandabagus is not just a player—it's a whirlwind of creativity on the blitzboard, occasionally leaving logic and opponents begging for mercy. Whether executing a daring checkmate in the Grob or patiently grinding out wins in the King's Pawn Opening, their journey is one full of thrills, and chess lovers everywhere can appreciate their tenacity.
