Blitz Journeyman Turned FIDE Master
rag lth, better known to the online chess world as topmoi, is a FIDE Master who lives where the clock ticks fastest. Their preferred battleground is Blitz, and the numbers back it up: a mountain of nearly 15,000 rated Blitz games since 2013. From a wild first month at 1367 to a career peak that eventually crossed 2650, rag lth turned raw speed into a titled career.
An Opening Recipe Built on Chaos
When rag lth is White, opponents quickly learn to expect the Amazon Attack and its sharper Siberian offshoot. With Black, the Scandinavian Defense is the comfort zone, a reply used more than 2,200 times. The mix is unorthodox, practical and dangerous in fast time controls. It is the kind of repertoire that punishes slow thinkers and rewards fearless improvisers.
The Long Grind
- Over 14,900 Blitz games, with 7,846 wins and a longest winning streak of 16 games.
- Peak Blitz rating: 2657 (2026-02-28).
- Resilience is the brand: a comeback rate of 85.49% and a 50.04% win rate even after losing a piece.
- One-sided losses are rare, with a 0.86% blowout rate.
- They also know pain: a ten-game losing streak keeps the ego in check.
Known Rivals
No rivalry defines rag lth more than their marathon series with stephilou. The two met 408 times, and rag lth turned those meetings into a 372-14-22 record. Sylvain Carre was a tougher dance partner across 264 games, with rag lth still holding a healthy edge of 156 wins against 74 losses.
Clock Psychology
Best results tend to arrive at 16:00, and Thursday has the highest win rate. The early resignation rate is only 0.3%, so the games last. Average decisive contests stretch beyond 75 moves, supported by an endgame frequency of 81.23%. If you are looking for a quick win, queue elsewhere.
