About VastFarm
VastFarm is an online chess grinder with a serious appetite for speed. The account leans toward bullet, but the blitz board is where the story really started. From a shaky 995 rating in June 2020, VastFarm climbed through tens of thousands of games to reach a blitz peak of 2598 (2026-09-04) in September 2026. In total, the account has played more than 20,000 rated games, with winning records in both blitz and bullet.
The Long Climb
The blitz rating history reads like a marathon, not a sprint. VastFarm played hundreds of games per month in 2020, including 720 in November alone, slowly grinding from the 1000s into the 2200s. After a quieter stretch, the account returned with a vengeance in 2025 and 2026, crossing 2400 and eventually touching 2598 (2026-09-04). Bullet followed a faster arc: 2303 (2025-06-01) in June 2025, less than a year after the first bullet games in September 2024.
Playing Style
VastFarm is a 1.d4 loyalist. Year after year, the first move data is almost monotone: d4, d4, and more d4. As White, the account regularly faces the King's Indian Defense and the Queen's Gambit Declined, scoring around 57% in both. As Black, VastFarm wades into sharp and unusual lines, including the Sicilian Defense, the Amazon Attack's Siberian Attack, and the Amar Gambit, with a slight edge in the French Defense.
The numbers paint a picture of a stubborn defender. VastFarm has a comeback rate of nearly 85% and still wins 48% of games after losing a piece. Decisive games last about 72 moves on average, and endgames appear in roughly 82% of contests. A sample position from VastFarm's favorite Queen's Gambit Declined territory:
