Talgat Gubaydulin - The International Master with a Tactical Twist
Meet Talgat Gubaydulin, also known in the cyber chess world as truetellerfromkz, an International Master who plays blitz like he's got a chess engine in his brain (or maybe just caffeine fueling those lightning-fast decisions). Holding a FIDE title that commands respect, Talgat has been a formidable presence on the online chessboard since 2016, climbing from a commendable 1921 blitz rating to an eye-popping peak beyond 2700.
Known for a 61.5% overall win rate in blitz and a scorching near 80% win rate in bullet games, Talgat doesn’t just play quickly — he wins quickly. With encounters against thousands of opponents and hundreds of battles won, this player’s hallmark is a relentless winning streak record that once hit an incredible 32 games in a row. A current streak of three suggests the fire is still burning bright.
Quick on the draw with an average of 54 moves per win (and a not-so-shabby 58 moves learned from losses), Talgat combines patience with precision. His psychological resilience is just as impressive, boasting a comeback rate above 64% and winning over 83% of games after losing a piece — proving that when the chips are down, Talgat turns pressure into opportunity.
When not dazzling opponents with his rapid-fire tactics, Talgat’s schedule seems optimized for prime performance — hitting peak success between 7 AM and 9 AM, and having a secret affinity for early morning battles (0:00 hour boasts an 83% win rate!). Weekends aren’t relaxing; Saturdays rule as the day with the highest win percentages near 71%, while Sundays serve as a humble reminder that even masters need a day off.
An aficionado of "top secret" openings (sounds mysterious, right?), Talgat’s mastery shines across all time controls—blitz, bullet, and rapid—where he maintains an enviable 100% win rate in rapid games and near domination in bullet. Friends fear the blitz beast; enemies fear the bullet blaster.
Despite a healthy dose of early resignations (23.95% - hey, even pros know when to conserve energy for the next clash), Talgat’s endgame finesse is well attested by a frequent endgame appearance rate exceeding 57%. Whether commanding white or black pieces, his win rates of nearly 67% and 61% respectively confirm he can leverage any side of the board to his advantage.
Off the board, Talgat is likely a strategist of life’s puzzles — but on the board, he’s a blitzstorm to be reckoned with. So next time you see truetellerfromkz diving into a game, better buckle up. This International Master plays to win, with style, speed, and maybe a pinch of mystique.
