Muhammed Batuhan Dastan (Turkchess1905)
Grandmaster Extraordinaire
Muhammed Batuhan Dastan, also known in the chess world as Turkchess1905, is a force to be reckoned with on the 64 black and white squares. Awarded the prestigious title of Grandmaster by FIDE, he has consistently demonstrated tactical brilliance and nerves of steel that would make even the toughest endgames tremble.
Rating Rockets and Record Breaker
Since bursting onto the scene with a bullet rating of 1766 in May 2020, Batuhan’s bullet chess rating skyrocketed to an astonishing peak of 2961 in June 2025 — talk about hitting the bullseye at lightning speed! Equally impressive is his blitz peak rating of 2931 from September 2022, proving that speed and precision are his trademark moves.
Playing Style and Signature Moves
With an average of about 92 moves per win, Batuhan is not one to rush victory; he meticulously outplays opponents in the endgame about 87% of the time. His favorite openings show a touch of mystery and strategic depth — the Unknown Opening leads with a solid 69% win rate in bullet games, but careful opponents beware the Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack variations, where he boasts up to an 83% success rate. When he’s feeling cheeky, expect some top-secret moves that keep rival grandmasters guessing.
Tactical Mastery & Psychological Edge
Batuhan’s comeback rate is a staggering 86%, which means losing a piece rarely means losing hope. His win rate after such setbacks is still an impressive 60%, proving resilience is as important as calculation. Fun fact: his best hour to play is 10 PM, where he wins nearly 88% of his games — looks like the stars align just right for a late-night blitz!
Matchmaking and Memorable Battles
Facing off against a myriad of challengers, Batuhan holds a spectacular 100% win record against a long list of opponents like igor_janik, joppie2, and qwerrrrty. However, even titans stumble, as he’s been humbled by some fierce rivals — yet his longest winning streak of 24 games and only six consecutive losses are the stuff of legend.
Recent Triumph
In a recent masterclass of strategic finesse, Batuhan dispatched ulises2013 with an elegant checkmate, culminating in the English Opening’s classic Anglo-Indian King's Indian Defense. The game, packed with subtle maneuvers, ended with Turkchess1905 calmly delivering mate after 65 moves — a fitting finale for a player who never quits till the final pawn moves.
In Conclusion
Muhammed Batuhan Dastan is not just a grandmaster; he’s a chess alchemist turning pawns into gold and opponents into fans. Whether in rapid fire bullet or strategic blitz, this grandmaster’s name is etched in the annals of chess history — for anyone daring to challenge him, be prepared for a battle where every move might be your last.
