Zi0rdi: The Rollercoaster Rook of Blitz Chess

Meet Zi0rdi, an online blitz warrior with a peak rating flirting with 1932 as of June 2021 — a score that suggests a player who’s both fiercely ambitious and occasionally humbled by the 64 squares. Known for grinding through thousands of games (over 12,500 blitz battles!), Zi0rdi’s chess journey is nothing short of epic, sprinkled with both brilliant victories and humbling defeats.

With nearly 7,200 losses to his name — yes, losses — don’t let that fool you. Zi0rdi embraces every blunder and comeback equally: boasting a respectable comeback rate of 43% and fighting on even after losing pieces, with a determined nearly 39% win rate post piece loss. It’s this fighting spirit that makes watching Zi0rdi’s games a thrilling spectacle — you never know when an early resignation (which happens a lot, about 99.5% of the time) will turn into a surprising counterattack.

Stylistically, Zi0rdi prefers quick decisions, averaging fewer moves per win than most, and clearly favors early conclusions — whether in triumph or surrender. This blitz beast’s openings of choice include the Queen’s Pawn Chigorin Variation and French Defense varieties, experimenting with different defenses and sometimes embracing the unorthodox — making it clear: creativity trumps monotony here.

Zi0rdi’s favorite time to strike? Early in the day around 10 AM, harnessing that caffeine-fueled brainpower to convert complicated middlegames into wins. Sadly, the evenings are tougher, with a dip in performance around 5 PM to 7 PM, proving even chess knights need their beauty sleep.

Opponents beware: Zi0rdi has tangled most often with irishcenturion and llillianna, with mixed success. Facing players above their rating is a challenge — wins drop below 37% there — but when the tables turn, below-rated opponents don’t stand a chance nearly half the time.

In other words, Zi0rdi is the kind of player who personifies the true spirit of blitz chess: fast, fearless, and fun. Whether in a nail-biting comeback or a quick defeat, every game is an opportunity to learn, laugh, and occasionally win by stylish resignation. Keep an eye on this chess rollercoaster — who knows what the next move holds!
