Ernst Weinzettl (Weinzy) - International Master of Blitz Chess
Known online as weinzy, Ernst Weinzettl is an International Master whose blitz performance on the digital battlefield has earned both admiration and a sprinkle of awe. From a lightning-fast 1317 rating in 2013 to a peak blaze of 2293 in 2017, Weinzy’s journey is a testament to dedication, strategic brilliance, and possibly the occasional caffeine-fueled all-nighter.
Career Highlights & Playing Style
Boasting a blitz win rate above 56%, Ernst isn’t just playing chess; he’s dancing through the ranks with a staggering longest winning streak of 11. His style defies early resignation conventions (0% early quit rate), proving that He fights valiantly until his 79% participation in endgames—a true marathoner of the chessboard. On average, his wins stretch to about 75 moves, enough for a Netflix mini-series episode recap.
Tactical Wizardry & Psychology
Weinzy has an uncanny comeback rate near 90% and wins 100% of the games after losing a piece—clearly proving that when life gives him a rook-less position, he bakes a queen instead. Despite this ironclad mindset, a tilt factor of 5 reminds us that even International Masters have their “Did I just hang my knight?” moments.
Notable Opponents & Records
Facing well over 597 games from his top secret opening repertoire with a solid 56% win rate, Ernst has tangled repeatedly with opponents like Slavko Cvetkovic (16 games) and Boybawang, keeping his record formidable. Some foes, however, seem to invoke an uncharacteristic zero-win curse, ensuring that every loss is a lesson and every opponent a fresh puzzle.
