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.
