Profile: Peter Minear (pminear)
National Master Extraordinaire
Peter Minear, known in the chess circles and digital battlefields as pminear, has earned the prestigious title of National Master. His journey from a humble 1345 rating in daily chess back in 2011 to peaking above 2500 is nothing short of a strategic masterpiece in itself.
A Rating Rollercoaster Worth Celebrating
Starting from winning every single one of his first 30 daily games in 2012, Peter quickly proved he's not here to just pass the time. By 2019, he had crossed an astonishing 2500 rating in daily chess – the milestone where mere mortals bow to his tactical prowess.
Master of the Fast and Furious
Whether it’s the bullet rounds where reflexes rule, the rapid games requiring speed and sharp thinking, or the classic daily matches inviting deep contemplation, Peter tears through with an impressive winning record:
- Bullet: Over 3300 wins and a bullet rating peak of 2780 (yes, that’s almost as fast as a grandmaster can blink)!
- Blitz: Nearly 4300 wins with a blitz rating reaching 2700, proving lightning strikes twice.
- Rapid: Strong performances with multiple peak years over 2300 rating.
