Viesturs Meijers - Grandmaster of the Chessboard

Meet Viesturs Meijers, also known in the digital realm as Viestur21, a formidable chess Grandmaster whose clever mind makes pawns tremble and kings sweat. With the esteemed Grandmaster title from FIDE under his belt, Viesturs is no stranger to the intellectual battlefield where precision, nerves, and a pinch of cunning decide the day.

Playing Style & Strengths

Viesturs exhibits a well-rounded style with a knack for long, intense battles, racks up an impressive Endgame Frequency of over 77%, showing his love for the final showdowns where every move counts. His average moves per victory are around 66, which hints at his patience—he’s in it for the marathon, not the sprint. But don’t mistake patience for hesitance; with a Comeback Rate north of 81%, he’s a master at turning the tides even when the chips are down.

Speedy Showdowns

In Bullet chess, Viesturs ruled with a peak rating of 2146 back in mid-2020, winning nearly 60% of his 96 games in his favored opening strategy charmingly labeled "Top Secret" (because sometimes mystery beats memorization).

Memorable Moments & Opponents

Among thousands of moves, Viesturs has delivered perfect scores against many opponents, including ChessWarbler, Kaspar1970, and ScotMorrison, cruising to victories with near flawless execution.

Still, his psychological resilience boasts a moderate Tilt Factor of 11, suggesting he keeps calm enough to avoid turning the board into a drama stage.
