Nurdaulet Tanatov (aka Nyrdaylet)

Meet Nurdaulet Tanatov, a blitz and bullet chess aficionado whose rapid-fire thrills might just cause your mouse to sweat. Starting with a humble 1421 blitz rating back in 2017, Nurdaulet zoomed up the ladder to a blistering peak of 2800 by 2020 — a rating many grandmasters would envy!

Known online as Nyrdaylet, this player blends tactical wizardry with a dash of mystery, often leaving opponents wondering if they were just outplayed or simply outlasted. With a staggering longest winning streak of 69 games, Nurdaulet has shown the patience of a saint and the attacking instincts of a lion.

Playing Style & Strengths

• Win rates: Dominant across blitz (54.6% with White), bullet (55.4% opening win rate), and a surprisingly strong rapid play with a 75% win ratio (albeit on a modest sample size).
• Resilient fighter: A spectacular comeback rate of 78.45%, with an uncanny 99.53% win rate even after losing a piece. Clearly, quitting early is not in Nurdaulet's vocabulary (early resignation rate just 4.15%).
• Endgame prowess: Plays long games — averaging 66 moves per win and 75 moves per loss — indicating remarkable endurance and deep strategic understanding.
• Psychological grit: Maintains a low tilt factor of 20, suggesting mental toughness when the heat is on, and still manages to improve rated play by nearly 14% compared to casual games.

Notable Highlights

Nurdaulet's blitz journey reads like a suspense novel: starting mildly at around 1400, then skyrocketing past the 2100 mark amazingly fast, smashing through 2400, and finally erupting with a mind-boggling 2800 rating. The bullet rating peaked near 2300 in 2019 before refining to a resilient ~1985 rating in 2020.

Preferred openings remain a well-guarded secret (coded as “Top Secret” in statistics), but with a win rate over 51% in blitz and 55% in bullet for over 3000 games, whatever Nurdaulet’s secret sauce is, it seems to be working splendidly.

Recent Battles

Recent victories show Nurdaulet’s precision and style. For example, in a thrilling 2020 blitz game against Clownpusher, Nurdaulet executed a classic buildup culminating in a resignation by the opponent after 27 moves—showcasing razor-sharp accuracy and calm under pressure.
