VBBraining GM

Grandmaster VBBraining

Once an ambitious nobody, VBBraining ascended the treacherous ranks of chess to claim the illustrious title of Grandmaster by FIDE — a badge of honor worn by only the mightiest of minds and the most stubborn pawns.

About the Player

Known in the chess world as a relentless blitz wizard, VBBraining’s rating exploded from a humble 1759 in mid-2024 to an almost unbelievable peak of 2914 in February 2025. That's right: this player doesn't just play fast; they play fast, furious, and with an uncanny precision that leaves opponents blinking in disbelief.

With over 200 wins in blitz games alone, this tactician thrives in chaos and revels in the sharp thrill of the clock ticking down. Their bullet rating isn’t too shabby either — peaking at 2517 with an undefeated streak to prove it.

Playing Style & Strengths

• Endgame Connoisseur: VBBraining frequently drags battles into the endgame trenches, with a whopping 87% frequency, proving that the fight is never over until the very last pawn is dancing on the board.
• Comeback Commander: Lose a piece? No problem — with a stunning 91% comeback rate, VBBraining turns setbacks into setups for victory. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, this player never accepts defeat lightly.
• Early Resignation Rate: Just 0.5% — apparently, they believe in grinding it out rather than going down without a fight. “Why resign when you can confuse your opponent with an unexpected counter?” might be their motto.

Unforgettable Moments

Among countless thrilling wins, one recent masterpiece stands out: in May 2025, VBBraining executed a perfectly timed checkmate against the formidable opponent ixcii after a fierce 77-move duel — proving stamina and strategy go hand-in-hand. Watch the full game here.

Opening Repertoire

VBBraining is not shy to experiment, but some openings hold a special place on the repertoire:

• Queen’s Gambit Accepted Classical Defense — boasting a 75% win rate over 4 games, this opening is a personal favorite of the Grandmaster.
• Giuoco Piano Game — undefeated here (100% win rate), evidence that classical Italian elegance still rules the heart of VBBraining’s game.
• English Opening Agincourt Defense — a tough nut to crack, with a win rate of just 20%. Nobody’s perfect, even a Grandmaster must have their kryptonite!

Psychological Edge

VBBraining’s tilt factor is a mere 7, a testament to this player’s iron will and cold nerves under pressure. Mornings at 11:00 are the official “prime time” for brain-splitting brilliance, with win percentages peaking around then.

Opponent Highlights

Facing a variety of challengers, VBBraining holds an impressive 100% win rate against numerous players — including chessmood_warrior, reyenigma, and kcazan28 — but even legends stumble sometimes, with tough bouts against the likes of frederiksvane and liamputnam2008 keeping things interesting.

In Summary

VBBraining is the kind of player who makes chess feel like an epic saga — a battle of wits, endurance, and occasional theatrical blunders (because what’s a game without a dash of drama?). When they aren’t climbing toward the next milestone rating or replaying classic games, chances are they’re plotting their next cunning trap, or heroically saving a seemingly lost position.

To watch VBBraining play is to witness a blend of tempest and method, where every piece matters and every move counts. So grab your coffee, set your clock, and prepare to be dazzled — the Grandmaster is in the house!
