The Blitz Virtuoso of straviranus
Ivan Tomeo, known across the chess internet as straviranus, is a FIDE Master who has quietly built one of the most entertaining blitz resumes online. He arrived in mid-2017 with a humble blitz rating around 1156, won his first two games, and has basically never stopped since. Today his peak sits within striking distance of the mythical 2900 mark, a number that makes most club players double check their screens for typos. His lifetime blitz ledger of 1906 wins against 1547 losses tells you everything: he plays a lot, and he apologizes even less.
