Profile Summary: zagrebov

Meet zagrebov, a blitz aficionado who’s been playing the game since the dawn of online chess servers – or at least since 2010. With a peak blitz rating soaring to 2726 (that’s chess grandmaster territory!), zagrebov proves to be a powerhouse, perhaps fueled by caffeine and a love for time pressure-induced drama.

Not one to shy away from speed, zagrebov also boasts a bullet peak over 2000 and a rapid rating peaking at 1525. Prolific is an understatement: over 25,000 blitz games played with a gritty win count surpassing 10,000 showcases fierce determination and possibly a fair share of pre-move ambushes.

Playing Style & Personality

Known for an astounding comeback rate of 91%, zagrebov is a true phoenix of the 64 squares — losing a piece? No worries, the fight is just beginning. Early resignation is a rare event (under 1%!), demonstrating a dogged resilience and commitment to play every position out, whether faced with checkmate threats or delightful stalemate puzzles.

His average game length hovers around 67 moves for wins and close to 70 for losses, proving that neither rush nor resignation colors his play; rather, thorough battles that test patience and endurance. Tactical awareness is solid, with roughly a 42% win rate after losing material — don't count him out just because he's down a piece.

Notable Stats & Trivia

  • Longest winning streak: 12 games – a streak that would make even Magnus Carlsen blink twice.
  • Longest losing streak: 14 games – hey, even the best have off days!
  • Favorite time to play: mornings around 8 AM and early hours like 6-8 AM when the brain is fresh and the pawns are fresh victims.
  • White pieces win rate: 45.7%
  • Black pieces win rate: 40.5%
  • Termination method: Over half of the wins come after the opponent graciously resigns, illustrating zagrebov’s knack for making threats just too spicy to handle.
  • Opponents beware: The username "michaelbaron" has faced zagrebov 80 times – talk about rivalry!

Recent Highlights

In a recent online battle, zagrebov demonstrated keen opening knowledge with the Polish (Orangutan) Defense, deftly outplaying opponents by winning on time – a modern chess classic move! One can virtually hear the ticking clock adding to the tension as zagrebov’s pieces dance around the board.

Despite some tough losses against resilient foes, zagrebov’s psychological tilt factor sits at a humble 14, meaning disappointment is met with a shrug and a ready mouse click to the next game. After all, chess is a marathon – with occasional sprints and dramatic falls.

In Summary

If chess were a rollercoaster, zagrebov would be the thrill-seeker who loves the sharp turns, sudden drops, and heart-pounding climbs. A formidable blitz player with a battle-hardened mindset and a tactical toolbox as deep as the opening theory itself, zagrebov is a name to remember – or at least, not to underestimate.
