Maks Fast: The Rapid Riser of the Chessboard

Maks Fast isn't just your average chess player; he's a whirlwind on the rapid scene with a knack for turning pawns into legends. In 2024, Maks was cruising with a Rapid rating around 565, but by 2025 he had rocketed to a blazing 800—making him the kind of opponent you’d rather not face before your morning coffee.

His blitz skills are nothing to sneeze at either, jumping from a humble 517 to a fiery 866 in just one year—some say he’s part cheetah, part grandmaster (or at least a future one). Bullet chess? Well, Maks has dabbled, but with just one game and a loss, it's clear his true passion lies in slightly less frantic bouts.

Signature Moves & Secrets

A master of the top secret opening—a style so mysterious it makes opponents’ heads spin—Maks boasts a respectable 62.8% win rate in Rapid and an even more impressive 72.7% in Blitz. And if you ever find yourself challenged to a game featuring the Englund Gambit, watch out; Maks has clutched a flawless 100% win there.

Streaks, Comebacks, and Psychological Warfare

Known for an epic 13-game winning streak, Maks loves to build momentum but can hold his nerves too, currently enjoying a solid 2-win streak. His comeback rate stands at a shocking 51.1%, meaning if you take a piece off him, consider the game still far from over—because Maks bounces back 100% of the time after losing material.

While his early resignation rate clocks in at just over 26%, he clearly knows when to fight. Endgames see him shine, making up nearly 31% of his games—a true strategist who thrives when the board is bare and tension is sky-high.

Against the Opponents

Maks’s track record with some regular foes is a mixed bag, yet he dominates many with perfect win rates against players like carmamado and bulumba1985. He’s best friends with bobisgoatedatchess having faced them 33 times, winning more than half the battles. His most recent rival? fineschmidt, against whom he's got a neat 66.7% win rate.

Play Time Preferences & Personality

Maks is a creature of habit with Thursdays being his power day (75% win rate) and afternoons to early evenings his sweet spot to strike, especially at 12pm (around 76%) or 17pm (80%). True morning warriors need not fear entirely though; he boasts a perfect 100% win rate at 8am—perhaps fueled by sheer caffeine and determination.

Maks is not a player who easily tilts (tilt factor 5), and slightly prefers rated matches over casual ones, proving he’s here to win, and maybe have a little fun pretending those pawns are tiny soldiers on an epic battlefield.

Fun Facts

• Average moves per win: 48 — this guy likes a good, long battle.
• White and Black win rates both hang around 63%, so no color prejudice here!
• Despite his rapid rise, Maks remains a humble player who knows that behind every checkmate lies countless tactical blunders.

All in all, Maks Fast is the chess player you want on your team and the one you fear sitting across from in a tournament. Quick on the clock, quicker with a comeback, and always keeping his opponents guessing—this is one player whose games are anything but boring.
