Grandmaster transponster: A Biography

Meet transponster, a chess Grandmaster whose online battlefield stretches across blitz, bullet, and rapid formats with the precision of a Swiss watch and the sneaky cunning of a cat playing chess with a mouse.

Rising from a blitz rating of just over 1300 in 2013 to an eyebrow-raising peak of 2990 by 2020, transponster isn’t just playing chess — they’re redefining it at lightning speed. Their bullet rating tells a similar story, soaring from 1313 up to a blistering 2915 in 2018, showing they can hold their nerve when the clock is merciless and the pressure is real.

This is a player who has mastered the art of the comeback, boasting a staggering 86.11% comeback rate— because losing a piece is just a minor setback when you’ve got a 96.09% win rate after going down material. Tilt? Only a mild 16 on their psychological meter, proving that transponster keeps calm and chess on.

Notorious for their lengthy battles, their games average nearly 79 moves per win, hinting at a dogged determination and deep endgame prowess. Indeed, transponster dives into endgames with gusto, engaging in them over 81% of the time.

Whether wielding white pieces with a 56.66% win rate or striking with black at 52.51%, transponster is a force to be reckoned with. Their longest winning streak? An impressive 25 consecutive victories — quite possibly a record for combined chess valor and stamina.

Opponents beware: transponster’s victories number in the thousands across different time controls, showing a rare blend of consistency and ferocity. And if you think they only thrive at random hours — think again. They peak playing between 2 AM and 10 AM with win rates comfortably hovering above 55%, perhaps proving that while the rest of us sleep, transponster’s brain is calculating the perfect fork or pin.

Off the board, transponster’s style might be described as secretive — their favorite opening is literally called "Top Secret" (though maybe they just like keeping opponents guessing). With over 3,400 blitz games under this mysterious banner and a bullet success rate near 57.5%, the name fits perfectly.

In summary, transponster combines speed, resilience, and a dash of stealthy strategy to keep opponents endlessly challenged. A true Grandmaster of modern chess chaos, this player turns every ticking clock into a thrilling adventure.
