The Process Is Blitz
theprocessofchess does not merely play blitz. They live inside it, and the preferred time control is unmistakable. Between December 2025 and September 2026, this account piled up more than 3,200 blitz games while climbing from 1755 to a peak 2845 (2026-08-22). That is the kind of rise that makes a graphing calculator blush.
Despite the blitz setting, the process is more slow-cooked than speedrun. Their wins average over 80 moves, and they reach the endgame in over 81% of games. For this player, blitz is just a suggestion.
A Repertoire Built on e4
As White, the process begins with 1.e4 almost exclusively. The Sicilian Defense appears constantly, and the Caro-Kann Defense is a favorite meal. They also enjoy the French Defense in its sharp advance form and the Vienna Gambit when feeling spicy.
As Black, the Dragon Variation of the Sicilian is a comfort zone, and the Queen's Gambit Accepted shows up whenever the board needs extra chaos. If you come for their e4, be ready for a very long night.
Rivals and Recurring Characters
No grind is complete without familiar names. Marcus Harvey is the most frequent visitor, with 15 meetings and a score that favors marcus_harvey. Adegboyega Joel ADEBAYO has also been a nemesis, winning 12 of their 14 encounters. Rushan Bogaudinov rounds out the danger list with a winning record too.
The process may not always win, but it rarely gets blown off the board. One-sided losses happen just over 1% of the time, and their comeback rate sits near 87%. Down a piece? They treat that as the starter course.
Winning, Tilting, and the 2 AM Magic
Their longest winning streak was 18 games, and their longest losing streak was 11. That tilt factor of 11 suggests the process occasionally goes through storm clouds. Funny enough, their best time to play is 2:00 AM, when the win rate jumps to 60%. Perhaps the chess gods are night owls.
Against lower-rated opponents, they win almost 75% of the time. Against higher-rated players, they still find ways to win more than a quarter of the games. And when the game is rated, they play with noticeably more fire than in casual mode. It is a process, after all.
