TheEndgameSurgeon: Bullet & Blitz Chess Profile

Some players are named aspirationally. TheEndgameSurgeon is named descriptively. Roughly 85.7% of this player's games actually reach an endgame, and the average victory stretches a healthy 89 moves. That is not quick-win chess; that is long-form scalpel work. Blitz is listed as the preferred time control, but the paperwork tells on them: the file contains over 7,200 bullet games, including a bullet peak of 2662 (2025-11-23) and a blitz peak of 2498 (2026-10-03).

Opening Repertoire: Quiet Moves, Strange Science

The games almost always begin with Nf3, then d3 or d4, soft sneaky first moves that steer play straight toward the endgame operating table. The headliner is the Amar Gambit, jokingly said to stand for "Absolutely Mad And Ridiculous," deployed over 1,300 times at a coin-flip 50.6% win rate, alongside 974 games of the Colle System's Rhamphorhynchus Variation, a line named after a flying reptile, which feels appropriate. The Nimzo-Larsen Attack and King's Indian Attack round out a White repertoire opponents cannot prepare for because nobody else plays it. Even a poisoned-pawn London appears, though at 41.8% it remains the procedure that keeps getting rescheduled.

As Black, the Scandinavian Defense is the house specialty: 863 bullet games with the queen marching early and the endgame arriving on schedule. The French Defense and Czech Defense are the statistically cleanest operations, and in blitz there is even a perfect 4-for-4 record with the Modern.

A taste of the bread and butter:

Surgical Style: The Comeback Specialist

The vitals are remarkable. An 87.7% comeback rate, a 47% win rate even after dropping a piece, and one-sided losses in fewer than 1% of all games. The tilt factor sits at a glacial 11. The longest winning streak is 108 games; the longest losing streak is a mere 11. The queen is the favorite checking piece, and when TheEndgameSurgeon lands the first check, the win rate jumps to nearly 60%. On average the first capture happens on move 8.4, because there is no reason to spill blood before it is medically necessary.

The great irony: more than half of all games end in an early resignation. Even a surgeon can tell when the patient has flatlined, and calling time of death promptly is considered good manners in bullet chess.

The Rivalry Files

Meshter is the most frequent patient, with 97 games and a nearly balanced 44-46-7 record, a rivalry long enough to require its own medical chart. nicoaaa and Dragon84 are coin flips, while Aleksandar Dovijanic remains the nemesis who keeps booking follow-up appointments. youcandooo and HansBrixx sit comfortably on the positive side of the ledger.

Vital Signs

  • Best operating hour: 07:00, with a 56% win rate. Morning rounds before everyone else's coffee kicks in.
  • Saturday is the best day of the week (52.9%); Monday is the worst (45%). Even surgeons hate Mondays.
  • 163 wins by checkmate against 88 suffered, plus 364 victories on time. The clock is also a scalpel.
  • Nine career draws by stalemate and never a win or loss by one. Draws happen only when physics demands it.
  • Rated games are won at a dramatically higher rate than casual ones, a swing of nearly 49 points. The good instruments come out when something is on the line.
  • White (49.9%) and Black (47.6%) win rates are almost identical. A doctor who treats both colors equally.

Prognosis

The trend line points upward, with blitz play climbing toward the 2500 mark on the strength of a strong recent stretch. Across nearly 7,400 recorded games the overall record is split almost perfectly down the middle. In other words: the patient is doing fine, and the surgeon shows no signs of retiring.
