Tesmag: The Blitz Battler & Rapid Raconteur

Meet Tesmag, a chess aficionado whose rating chart is as thrilling as a roller coaster ride—sometimes soaring, occasionally dipping, and always entertaining. With a penchant for rapid and blitz games, Tesmag has proven to be a fierce competitor, clocking in a peak blitz rating of 823 and an equally impressive rapid high of 897.

The Style & Strategy

Tesmag plays with the calm of a monk but strikes like lightning when the moment calls for it. Preferring an average game length bordering on 55 moves, this player loves the drama and tension of the endgame, engaging in them over 57% of the time. Cunning tactics and resilience are trademarks—remarkably boasting a 71.65% comeback rate, because giving up is just not in Tesmag’s vocabulary.

Opening Choices – The Secret Weapons

  • Philidor Defense: Nearly 59% win rate in blitz shows Tesmag’s mastery with this classic setup.
  • King’s Pawn Opening, King's Knight Variation: A favorite for rapid play, pushing winning chances above 56%.
  • French Defense Variations: Reliable workhorse in both blitz and rapid, boasting win rates often hovering around or above 50%.
  • Italian Game: A solid battleground choice that's been put to the test over hundreds of games.

Record Highlights & Rivalries

Tesmag’s war chest includes a lifetime win count just shy of 2,000 in blitz alone—holding a razor-thin win/loss margin that keeps rivals on their toes. This player has an uncanny record of 100% victories against many opponents like mohnadj, guarezigustavo, and zimah16, who probably whisper Tesmag’s name nervously before each match!

When and Where to Find Tesmag

The prime time for catching Tesmag in action is usually around 7 AM, in case you fancy a dawn duel—because why not wake up to a good checkmate? Showing up mostly in rapid games, Tesmag loves to outwit the clock almost as much as the opponent.

Memorable Recent Games

Among the recent victories, one notable blitz triumph was against MohNadj, where Tesmag engineered a masterful win by resignation in a tense battle involving the Pirc Defense - Modern Defense Geller System. And just for fun, how about the infamous “Ng5” knight antics in the Italian Game that keeps opponents guessing?

Fun Facts

  • Devices a sneaky 7% early resignation rate—because why drag out the inevitable?
  • Can happily end up exchanging pieces but often prefers the thrill of a clash—beware the low draw count!
  • Average first capture happens surprisingly early, right around move 7—officially a “don’t let your pieces relax” kind of player.

To sum up, Tesmag isn’t just playing chess—they're putting on a show. Opponents beware, this player’s blend of strategic depth, tactical sharpness, and relentless drive makes every game a gripping story.

Hi Tesmag – Your Post-Game Coaching Report

What’s going well

  • Tactical vision. You consistently spot forks and skewers (e.g. 6.Nxf7!! in several Italian wins) and aren’t afraid to sacrifice material for activity.
  • Initiative-first mindset. Early pawn breaks (g-, h- or b-pawn) unsettle many opponents and generate fast wins such as your 8-move miniature against zimah16.
  • Practical fighting spirit. Even in worse positions you look for counter-play instead of defending passively – a big reason for converting equal endgames into wins.

Main improvement areas

  1. King safety before pawn storms.
    Your loss to errd is a textbook warning – the queen invaded the dark squares after both wing pawns moved.


    • Castle first.
    • When pushing a flank pawn ask, “Can the enemy queen or bishop use the new diagonal?”
  2. Time management.
    Three recent defeats (e.g. vs abelcurtinove) were on the clock with playable positions. Try:
    • Keep ≥60 s for move 25 by using a “10-second ceiling” on non-forcing moves.
    • Play a few 5 + 5 games daily, writing down the move number when you first dipped under 1 minute.
  3. Opening depth.
    You reach the same set-ups but sometimes pick shaky continuations (e.g. 5…Na5 confusion in the Fried-Liver, or 12…c6 in the Scandinavian). Build a 10-move “road-map” for each side:
    • White Italian: Memorise the mainline after 4.Ng5 d5 5.exd5 Nxd5 6.Nxf7 (know Black’s best defenses: 6…Kxf7 7.Qf3+!).
    • Black French set-up: Learn the simple plan …d5, …c5, …Nc6 against 3.Nc3 & 3.Nd2.

7-Day Action Plan

  1. Analyse every game with the engine and list one critical blunder + one best move.
  2. 20 puzzles/day focused on forks & discovered attacks.
  3. 10 games of 15 + 10 concentrating on king safety and clock usage.
  4. Read the definition of opposite-colored bishops and play two study positions where they appear.

Quick stats & motivation

  • Current peak: 885 (2025-06-13)
  • Best finish today: 50.Kxf4! versus mohnadj
  • Focus order for next week: 1) King safety 2) Time 3) Opening road-maps

Your attacking flair already outstrips many players in the 600-700 range. Shore up the basics above and an 800+ rating will follow quickly. Keep having fun at the board – the results will come!
