Meet TheHungryTacoCat

Jeremy Ellison, better known as TheHungryTacoCat, is a FIDE Candidate Master with a serious appetite for Blitz. He plays other time controls, of course, but when the clock is running and the tacos are warm, he happily orders another helping of fast chess.

A Blitz Buffet

Ellison has played nearly 2,000 rated Blitz games in just over a year. His path up the leaderboard has been spicy: a 12-game winning streak, one uncomfortable 9-game losing streak, and a comeback rate of 89.08%, proving that he is never fully out of a meal. He also plays beautifully dangerous chess after waking up, with his best winning percentage coming at 07:00.

His blitz high-water mark is 2307 (2026-08-23), a number he reached by relentless grinding and a very tolerant family.

Favorite Menu Items

When he has Black, Jeremy happily tucks into the Caro-Kann Defense and never says no to a hearty Sicilian Defense. With White, he is fond of the Amazon Attack and has shown a soft spot for the Bird Opening's Batavo Gambit. The opening chart below breaks down the delicious numbers:

He is a notorious endgame fan, with a 78.36% endgame frequency, and his games often last more than 80 moves when he wins, because he insists on eating every last crumb on the board.

Regular Dining Partners

No player has faced the Taco Cat more often than the unlucky chef at table one. Against daniel36472, Jeremy is perfect: six wins and zero losses. He also holds a strong record against Alfredo Cecilio Miserendino and has had successful online dinners against Hannah Sayce. Some opponents get the taco; others get the bill.
