From 551 to a name that keeps appearing
Meet Darun Kledmanee, better known by the username Tatar. Tatar has played more rated games than most clubs will hold in a century, with over 50,000 logged events and most of those games spent in Bullet. The record starts in September 2022 with a singular Blitz point of 551, then life starts to happen very quickly. By October 2022 the Blitz rating had climbed past 1400, and in the months after Tatar never stopped reloading the queue. The shape is suitably loud, but the trend is undeniably upward.
For the chart lovers in the room, the whole saga is captured here:
. Peak numbers also appeared in unusual places: 2714 (2026-08-24) in Bullet, 2639 (2026-02-02) in Blitz, and if you look close enough, 2478 (2026-04-21) in Rapid.The house always plays 1.e4
Tatar is a connector of first moves. When statistics are checked across years, the opening move of the told is almost always 1.e4. After that, every wild branch of the chess tree is apparently fair game. Tatar has a special, probably lasting relationship with the Blackburne Shilling Gambit, and the Scotch Game shows up in all the right places. On the white side, the Caro-Kann Defense: Exchange Variation is also a constant companion, with over 2700 appearances across time controls.
If you want to see the colors by opening, the summary is probably not normal but correct:
. The same stats will tell you Tatar plays the endgame, because the endgame frequency sits near 73% and the average decisive games go deep. This is not a resigned player, no matter how loudly the clock objects.The rivalry scorebook
When most played opponents are sorted, the picture is a tale of two Tatars. The most-fought username is icy, and icy has clearly stopped most of the games: in 316 meetings, Tatar has 26 wins against 281 losses, with 9 draws. This is not a happy chapter. Then there is the infinite friendship called earnyyyyy. Against earnyyyyy, Tatar has 248 wins, so sometimes they live as a cheerleader.
If you are wondering whether Tatar knows how to fall, yes: both a longest winning streak of 42 and a talfeco. Their early resignation rate is too low, and "comeback rate" 81.14% is a kind that loses. Brightly, do not start at 19:00 or 21:00, because Tatar’s win rate plummets.
