Meet nevenuki, the Blitz Chess Marathoner
When it comes to pure Blitz output, few players match nevenuki. Between August 2025 and August 2026, nevenuki played more than 7,600 rated Blitz games, converting an almost surgical devotion to 1.Nf3 into 4,058 wins, 2,913 losses, and 675 draws. The run pushed nevenuki to a 2520 (2026-04-17) of 2520 in April 2026.
A Blitz Marathon
nevenuki prefers the fast clock, and the rating chart shows a steady climb from the 1800s into the 2400s and beyond. The volume is staggering: 1,186 games in November 2025, 1,119 in December 2025, and more than 1,000 games again in June 2026. No month is quiet.
Streaks are part of the story. nevenuki once ripped off 13 wins in a row, and even the longest losing streak of nine games barely dented the overall trajectory.
Opening Repertoire
nevenuki is famously faithful to 1.Nf3. From that quiet first move, games flow into the King's Indian Attack, English structures, and Catalan setups. With the White pieces, the King's Indian Attack is especially dangerous; in 377 games of the French Variation, nevenuki scored a 67.99% win rate.
Against 1.e4, nevenuki relies on the Alekhine Defense in more than 1,500 games, while the Grünfeld Defense handles many 1.d4 battles. There is also room for an offbeat favorite: the Hungarian Opening Wiedenhagen-Beta Gambit, with 648 games and a 56.33% score. The opening chart fills in the rest.
Style, Streaks and Survival
nevenuki plays long, grinding battles. Endgames appear in 88.28% of games, the early resignation rate is only 7%, and after losing a piece, nevenuki still wins 51.18% of the time. The one-sided loss rate is 0.24, so most defeats come in scrambles rather than clear checkmates. In true Blitz fashion, opponents also run out of time 294 times against nevenuki.
There is a night owl in this profile. The best time of day to play is 1 a.m., where the win rate climbs to 57.32%. The White pieces are also kinder: 57.31% as White versus 48.82% as Black. A Tilt Factor of 9 may explain some wild swings, but the 13-game winning streak shows how dangerous a focused nevenuki can be.
Known Rivalries
Playing thousands of games creates familiar faces. No opponent appears more often than Francesco Bentivegna, with 74 meetings. That rivalry has been tough: po6don leads 37 wins to 23, with 14 draws. Great Chess OPTIMUS is close behind at 65 games, and the series is nearly even, 26 wins for nevenuki, 29 for skender388, and 10 draws. These repeat battles give the Blitz marathon a personal edge.
