Rashid Nezhmetdinov: The International Master of Mayhem

Known in the virtual chess arenas as Nezhmetdinov2020, Rashid Nezhmetdinov is an International Master who plays on the edge — and sometimes a little beyond it. Holding the distinguished FIDE title speaks volumes about his skills, but don't let the calm title fool you; this player thrives in chaos and tactical fireworks.

Rating Rollercoaster & Playing Style

Rashid’s peak ratings are intimidating for mere mortals: a blitz shark with a maximum rating of 2828, bullet bulletproof at a stunning 2963, and rapid respectable at a solid 2298. With a whopping 831 bullet games played in just a couple of months in 2020, this is no casual dabbling — he’s in it to win it, fast and furious.

His gameplay style? Imagine a mix of daring chess gladiator and relentless tactician. Rashid averages 89 moves per win (!) and 85 moves in losses, proving he's in for the long haul — or at least until someone blinks. His psychological resilience is equally impressive, with an 85% comeback rate after setbacks, meaning if he loses a piece, don’t count him out just yet.

Performance & Rivalries

Whether it's bullet, blitz, or rapid, when Rashid digs in, he aims for victory. His overall win rates hover around mid-50% in rapid and bullet, and a solid 45% in blitz games, where the fight is fiercest. Notably, his longest winning streak leaves many in awe at 21 consecutive victories — talk about momentum!

Opponents beware: Rashid has a near-perfect record against several players (100% wins against names like radio_redwave and arifars17). But even the best have their kryptonite; some rivals have put a dent in his armor. Yet, his tilt factor stays impressively low at 17%, which means even losing streaks (up to 17 games once) don’t derail his spirit.

Tactical Wizardry & Chess Psychology

Known for his tactical awareness, Nezhmetdinov2020 rarely resigns early (just 0.37% early resign rate), and he loves an endgame — occurring in 85.63% of his battles. His best time to unleash his magic is at noon (12:00), when his win rate peaks at 100% in the small sample data available.

In practical terms, Rashid is a fighter through and through. Whether at the board or the keyboard, his resilience is his true crown jewel.

Legendary Recent Battle

One of Rashid's latest show-stoppers was a Caro-Kann Defense Exchange Variation duel played on September 11, 2020, against AngelNeciosup. Despite the opponent’s valiant efforts, Rashid secured victory by resignation after an intense 31-move strategic dance — crowned by his unyielding pressure and sharp tactics.

Final Thought

Rashid Nezhmetdinov is a chess enthusiast’s dream combo — masterful, combative, and unwilling to quit. Whether it’s bullet blitz speed or deep rapid battles, he embodies the essence of fight ’til the end, never afraid to mix it up and surprise the world with bold moves and relentless drive.
