Meet nazbrok, a chess aficionado whose blitz battles are as dynamic and unpredictable as a well-executed gambit. Peaking at an impressive 2313 rating in March 2015, nazbrok has danced across the 2000+ rating plateau with flair and persistence.

Playing Style & Strengths

Known for a tactical mind that bounces back with an astonishing 90.09% comeback rate after falling behind, nazbrok doesn’t quit early—only resigning about 8.19% of the time. Endgames? Oh yes, nazbrok loves those deep strategic battles, with an 82.24% endgame frequency showing true stamina and finesse. Expect games from nazbrok to average a marathon ~79 moves to win, proving that patience is indeed a virtue. White pieces tend to have the upper hand with a 51.15% win rate, but black holds strong too at nearly 48%.

Blitz Chronicles

Over several thousand blitz games played (over 5,700 recorded), nazbrok achieves a solid win rate hovering just shy of 50%. The longest winning streak? An epic 38 games, where opponents might have sworn they were facing a grandmaster’s ghost. But it’s not all sunshine; the longest losing streak clocks in at 91 losses—proving that in chess as in life, it's not the wins but the persistence after setbacks that counts.

Bullet Blitz – Lightning Speed

There’s even a dash of bullet chess in nazbrok’s arsenal, boasting a remarkable 90% win rate in this ultra-fast mode over a smaller sample of games, suggesting that when the clock ticks down, nazbrok’s instincts sharpen to a razor’s edge.

  • Famous for defeating opponents with a surprising checkmate flourish, as seen in the celebrated 2015 Scandinavian Defense game.

In Their Own Words…

"Some players chase fast wins; I chase the thrill of the long game, that sweet spot where strategy meets stamina—and if I fall behind, watch out: the comeback is coming!"

Last Victory Recap

On July 9, 2015, in a lively clash using the Scandinavian Defense (Mieses-Kotrč Main Line), nazbrok clinched a memorable checkmate victory, demonstrating tactical acuity and a flair for finishing with style. The final move? Rh5#—a graceful coup that had the crowd cheering (or at least the opponent resigning).

Summary

Hi nazbrok! Here’s some tailored feedback to help you keep climbing.

What you’re doing well

  • Quick piece activity: In several wins against cruz29 you rapidly mobilised your bishops and rooks, seizing the initiative and finishing the game before move 35. Great job converting development leads into direct attacks.
  • Tactical alertness: Your 20.Nxc6!! in the first PGN below exploited a pin and netted material that never came back. Keep sharpening those tactics!

  • Confidence in dynamic positions: Lines like 1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 3.Nc3 Qa5 4.b4!? show you’re comfortable playing for imbalances rather than passive equality.

Main improvement areas

  1. King safety in the opening
    The recent loss to Ivan Georgiev (1.f3 Kf2 Ke3 …) highlights the danger of early king walks. Try anchoring your repertoire around sound structures (e.g. the Italian or Queen’s Gambit) so you can reserve creativity for later.
    Drill: Play 20 practice games where you castle by move 8; annotate any where you don’t.
  2. Handling opposite-side chances
    In the Philidor loss you allowed White to open the centre while your king was still there. When playing the Pirc/Philidor set-ups, remember the rule of thumb: Break in the centre after castling, not before.
  3. Time management
    You’ve dropped at least two winning positions on the clock (e.g., vs cruz29 0-1 on time). Aim to be below 1 minute only after move 30 in 3 | 0 games.
    Tip: Verbally count candidate moves (Checks, Captures, Threats) to speed up your decision tree.
  4. End-game conversion
    In the long Smith-Morra struggle you reached a winning rook-and-pawn ending but let the passed c-pawn race too far. A quick review of the Lucena and Philidor techniques will pay big dividends. See Lucena position.

Action plan for the next two weeks

  • Opening study: build a “safe pair” (one line as White, one as Black) you can rely on when form is shaky. Recommended: London System vs 1…d5 and Caro-Kann vs 1.e4.
  • Tactics: 30 puzzles/day limited to 3 minutes each. Focus on double attacks and back-rank motifs—recurring themes in your games.
  • Annotated review: pick one win and one loss after every session, annotate without engine first, then compare. Start with the Barns Opening loss below:

  • Play two 10 | 5 games each weekend to practise deeper calculation and end-games.
