Hans Martin

Hans Martin - The Relentless Knight of the Blitz Arena

Known in the realms of online chess as ptitjibus73, Hans Martin is a player whose blitz battles are as enduring as they are entertaining. With a career spanning over five years, he has amassed nearly 19,000 blitz games and over 100 bullet duels, proving that his love for the 60-second adrenaline rush is not just a phase.

Hans's blitz rating peaked at 1401 in 2023, a steady climb from humble beginnings around 1000 in 2021, showing improvement befitting a true chess warrior. His bullet games have also seen impressive peaks—touching 1447 in 2022—although he admits that blitz keeps his heart beating faster.

Playing Style and Stats

• Endgame Maestro: Hans loves a good endgame, participating in one almost two-thirds of his games.
• Comeback King: If things go sideways and he loses a piece, don’t count him out! He boasts a 100% win rate after losing a piece. (Okay, maybe the sample size is small, but still impressive.)
• Persistent Spirit: Despite a tilt factor of 28%, Hans maintains an enviable comeback rate of nearly 79%, the kind of resilience that would make Bobby Fischer nod in respect.
• Length of Battles: Winners typically outlast losers with an average of 73 moves per win—a testament to his stamina—and 57 moves per loss.

Notable Quirks

Some say Hans is quicker to accept defeat than others, resigning early in about 6% of his games, but that just means more time to plot his next attack!

He also has a particular preference for playing in the early hours, with one of his highest win rates at midnight, when the world sleeps and the real chess matches are fought.

Fun Fact

Despite thousands of games under his belt, Hans still holds a secret favorite opening, cryptically labeled "Top Secret" — perhaps because he likes to spring surprise attacks when least expected!

In the timeless words of a grandmaster-to-be: "If the queen's gambit is your weapon, Hans Martin is certainly a worthy opponent."
