Meet Nurdaulet "Nyrdaylet" Tanatov: The Blitz Meteor

Nurdaulet Tanatov, online as Nyrdaylet, has the rare ability to turn a chess server into a personal workout room. Between late 2017 and March 2020 he tore through thousands of rated games, developed an unmistakable, aggressive style, and posted a scoreboard that looks less like a rating curve and more like a launch sequence. His preferred habitat is Blitz, where he racked up more than 6,000 games and piled on over 3,000 wins. The overall graph is a classic mystery:

explains itself.

Openings With A Personal Touch

Very few players claim ownership of Amar Gambit, but Nyrdaylet practically got a boarding pass for it. He has played it from both sides, 311 times in blitz, winning about 77 percent of those games and carrying it to a level no one really suggested. On the Black side, he became a reliable regular in French Defense battles, winning 128 blitz games while keeping losses shockingly low. He also enjoys the Amazon Attack, the Caro-Kann family, and a Seychelles somewhere between a chess fight and a fire drill. If you want the visual snack, here is how the openings line up:

  • The Amar Gambit: 311 Blitz games, 240 wins, and an 77.2% win rate.
  • The French Defense: 190 Blitz games, 128 wins, 15 draws.
  • The Amazon Attack: 168 Blitz games, 124 wins, only 40 losses.

Rivals, Friends and Familiar Usernames

His most played opponent is Kazybek Nogerbek, who is the toughest known boss in this sample. They faced each other 143 times; Nyrdaylet managed 21 wins and 115 losses, which is a brutally lopsided friendship. He also crossed paths frequently with Nursultan Kenzhalin and came close but not at, 43 wins to 83 losses. On the brighter side of the scoreboard, he won all 69 games against an alternate tag of himself, all 45 against kazakh123, and produced a fantasy 69-game winning streak in some other corner of the arena. The opponent list reads like a very competitive family gathering, but let’s not speculate over what cannot be proven.

Psychological Patterns and Schedule Tips

Nyrdaylet shows some unusual resilience: his comeback rate is 77.65%, and he almost never gets blown off the board. He was also a seesaw player, with a 69-game winning streak at his peak and a 19-game losing streak during the break. If you want to schedule a match, his internal clock shows the best hour at 20:00, when he wins around 62.71% of the time. At 1 AM, things are less magical: the same player drops to a 28.57% win rate. That means do not play him at supper, but maybe politely ask for a midnight rematch.
