Aleksander Mista - Grandmaster of the 64 Squares
Meet Aleksander Mista, better known in the arenas of rapid thinking and blitz battles as olomi007. Awarded the prestigious title of Grandmaster by FIDE, Aleksander is a chess virtuoso whose playstyle is as mysterious and powerful as a secret opening—fittingly, his stats favor a "Top Secret" line that has baffled thousands.
Since 2013, Aleksander has been a force to be reckoned with, proficient in blitz, bullet, rapid, and daily chess formats. He started modestly at a solid 2000 blitz rating and rocketed to a peak blitz rating of an awe-inspiring 2714 in November 2019, proving his lightning-fast moves often outpace mere mortals.
With over 2000 blitz games played officially, boasting a win rate of approximately 56.5%, Aleksander has established a reputation for precision mixed with creativity. In bullet format, his win rate shoots even higher to nearly 58%, showcasing that when the clock ticks down, he's just getting started.
His style? A mix of stamina and sharp tactics. Don't be fooled by his calm demeanor—he holds an impressive 88% comeback rate after losing material, quite possibly fueled by a caffeine drip and a love for risk. His longest winning streak spans 18 games, while the longest losing streak is kept to a humble eight—a true sign of resilience.
Aleksander doesn't just win; he dominates different playing tempos with remarkable consistency:
- Daily chess: Nearly 90% win rate with the "Top Secret" repertoire, proving his deep strategic prowess when there's time to ponder.
- Rapid chess: A solid 83% win rate, making quick decisions with power and grace.
Personality & Preferences
When it comes to timing, Aleksander seems to shine brightest in the early morning hours, with his best playing hour around 7 AM. Maybe the quiet dawn inspires his genius—or perhaps it's simply when the coffee kicks in. Regardless, opponents beware: whether it’s Monday or Thursday, at 7 AM or 11 AM, his win rates hover above 60%, reflecting a player who knows how to turn on the heat when it matters most.
While "resignation" is often his favored method of finishing encounters (his opponents know when they're beaten), he also collects a fair share of victories on timeouts and checkmates, showing a well-rounded arsenal.
Recent Highlights
Aleksander’s recent games reveal a keen understanding of classical openings like the French Defense (Tarrasch variation) and Ruy Lopez. In a remarkable November 2020 live game, he skillfully outmaneuvered his opponent, claiming victory on time after executing a decisive queen sacrifice and relentless pawns push — a perfect blend of strategy and nerves of steel.
Though even the best stumble sometimes (his recent defeats show a few hard-fought resignations), Aleksander’s ability to bounce back is second to none. His “tilt factor” remains remarkably low at 8, proving that he keeps his cool even when the pressure mounts.
Opponent Encounters
With frequent battles against notable rivals like kuba2503 (winning over 84% of their clashes) and high win rates against many others, Aleksander’s record reflects a player who not only studies his opponents but adapts on the fly. Some names remain a mystery (looking at you, flawless2018 and grandemas), but Aleksander’s consistency is undeniable.
Chess Summary
To sum up, Aleksander Mista is not just a Grandmaster by title but by style, endurance, and wit. Whether blitzing through a 3-minute slugfest or grinding out a daily game with patience, he remains a true tactician and strategist. His secret weapon? An uncanny ability to bounce back from adversity, and maybe a squirrel mascot or two cheering quietly from the sidelines.
In the wild kingdom of 64 squares, Aleksander Mista reigns supreme—one clever move at a time.
Hi Aleksander,
Congratulations on the strong results you have been posting in blitz! Your tactical alertness and willingness to play dynamically are obvious in many of your recent games. Below is a summary of what you are already doing well, followed by a set of concrete, actionable suggestions to help you squeeze out a few extra rating points.
What you are doing well
- Fighting spirit. Even in worse positions you keep posing problems and often win on the clock.
- Tactical eye. Your win against Paul Gold shows crisp calculation and confidence in complications.
- Opening variety. You alternate between 1.e4, 1.d4 and sometimes c4-based systems, keeping opponents guessing.
Three priority areas
1. Time management
You frequently reach critical positions with <20 seconds. In the loss versus Gianmarco_es you spent 1:30 on 17…Rxc3 and never recovered on the clock. Try to adopt a “speed limit”: if your clock drops below 1:40 in the first 15 moves, play two quick, safe developing moves before thinking again.
2. Objectivity in sharp lines
The following fragment shows a brave but incorrect sacrifice that turned the tide against you:
Engine analysis reveals that 17…Bxf6 would keep equality, while 17…Rxc3? walks into 18.Bxe7. The key takeaway: once you spot an attractive tactical continuation, give yourself an extra five-second “sanity check” before pulling the trigger.
3. Technical conversion
You often obtain winning positions but let them linger. In the victory over angryhorse9 you were completely winning by move 30 but needed another 25 moves to finish the game. Practise converting extra-material endings against engines set to 1800-2000 strength; this will reinforce clean technique and save time on the clock.
Opening tune-ups
- French Tarrasch, Closed: After 5.Nxe4 dxe4 6.Bc4 you met 6…c5!? A more reliable equaliser is 6…b6 followed by …Ba6; it sidesteps the space disadvantage without loosening the d5 pawn.
- Ruy Lopez with 3…g6. Your setup versus the Ruy shows promise. Study two model games by Radjabov to see typical pawn breaks …f5 and …d5 executed under good conditions.
- Sicilian Kan. When you answer 8…Bxc3 you must be ready for the Nb5-c7 ideas. Consider the alternative 8…d5! which equalises immediately and avoids a long defensive task.
Training plan for the next four weeks
- Daily tactics: 20 puzzles focusing on intermediate moves and defensive resources.
- Endgame mini-sessions: 15 minutes of rook-and-pawn vs rook endings every second day.
- Opening flashcards: Create a deck of critical French and Kan positions; drill until you can recall the next three moves in <15 seconds.
- Play & review: After each blitz session, pick one win and one loss, annotate them, and identify one decision you would change.
Useful milestones
Your current peak ratings are impressive—aim to stabilise 50 points higher in the next quarter:
• Blitz peak: 2714 (2019-11-27)
• Rapid peak: 2374 (2020-06-06)
Glossary refresh
Feel free to revisit concepts like zwischenzug and prophylaxis—these small refinements often decide blitz games.
Final thoughts
You are already operating at a high level; tightening up the three areas above will convert more of your advantages and protect you from unnecessary swindles. Enjoy the process, and good luck in your next sessions!
