youman Thebest: A Grandmaster's Chess Odyssey
Meet youman Thebest, a Grandmaster recognized by FIDE, whose blitz chess game is as electrifying as it is unpredictable. From an impressive rating climb starting at 1413 in 2016 to a peak blitz rating of 2909 in 2022, youman isn't just playing chess; they are rewriting the blitz narrative one rapid decision at a time.
Known in the chess world by the username youman2016, this Grandmaster boasts an astonishing 93% and a flawless 100% win rate even after losing a piece. If chess were a battlefield, youman would be the tenacious general rallying from the brink of defeat to claim victory.
While most players grudgingly resign early, youman prefers to stick it out with only a mere 15% early resignation rate. This resilience pays off, given their endgame appearances in almost 85% of matches, often turning the tables in marathon battles lasting over 80 moves.
Youman is also famous for their impressive winning streaks: the longest being a jaw-dropping 20 consecutive wins, and currently riding a wave with a 3-game streak. Their playing style balances solid openings (which they guard closely, rated as "Top Secret") and a fearless approach to clutch moments, making them a fearsome opponent on any day.
Their performance varies just like mood swings on a rollercoaster, with win rates peaking at 65% during evening blitz games around 18:00 and dropping to about 35% in the early mornings. Saturdays and Fridays seem to be their lucky days, where they shine brightest.
Off the board, youman maintains a lighthearted attitude—perhaps best reflected by their username and their impressive record against many opponents, some boasting flawless 100% win rates against familiar rivals like alexrustemov and mahan_83. However, don’t let the nickname fool you; the battles are fierce and full of cunning tactics.
When asked about their secret weapon, it's simple: a mix of stubborn resilience, tactical genius, and perhaps a dash of mischievous charm that keeps opponents guessing and entertained alike.
