Riga1960: The Night Shift King of Blitz
Some chess players are defined by a single brilliant tournament. Others are defined by volume. Riga1960 belongs very firmly to the second category, having played a number of blitz games that can only be described as "an entire career's worth, several times over." Since first appearing in 2018 at a thoroughly respectable but unremarkable rating, riga1960 has grinded, tilted, recovered, and grinded again, all the way up to a peak blitz rating of 2808. That is not a typo. That is a mountain.
