Simon Lamaze - International Master (aka zimmm36)
Simon Lamaze is a distinguished International Master recognized by FIDE, who has stealthily been conquering chessboards since at least 2019. Whether blitzing through games faster than you can say "checkmate" or meticulously plotting endgames with the patience of a saint, Simon embodies versatility and excellence.
Known in the digital chess universe as zimmm36, Simon boasts a blitz rating that soared from a humble 1538 in 2019 to a jaw-dropping peak of 2893 in 2025. That's right—this player nearly touched 2900 in blitz! Bullet fans are equally impressed; Simon’s bullet rating has rocketed from the high 1100s to an elite 2694. If "speed chess" had a superhero, it would be Simon.
Daily and rapid formats haven't escaped Simon's dominance either, with sustained win rates over 70% in daily games and a respectable 73% in rapid thanks to a keen eye for "top secret" openings that likely involve a mix of tactical wizardry and possibly some sneaky psychological trickery.
When Simon wins, they make sure it’s memorable—averaging about 82 moves per victory, a marathon of calculated excellence and endurance. And if they ever lose a piece? Fear not—Simon’s comeback rate is nearly 89%, and if all else fails, winning 96% of the games even after losing a piece is basically Simon's signature power move.
With a longest winning streak of 36 games and a current streak to keep everyone on their toes, Simon’s competitive fire burns strong. Whether it’s early morning ("6 AM, the golden hour for a 60% win rate") or late night ("2 AM with an unbeatable 100% win rate"), Simon adapts and conquers.
Off the chessboard, Simon might be plotting their next move or perfecting the art of a well-timed resignation—after all, only 2.86% early resignations prove they know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em. Psychological resilience is another hallmark, with a low tilt factor of 11 and a strong 35% better win rate in rated games vs casuals.
In summary, Simon Lamaze is a formidable combatant in the arena of 64 squares: a master strategist with a serious knack for bouncing back, a blitz beast with endurance, and a player with a delightful mix of patience, speed, and psychological savvy. Opponents beware—once you’re in Simon’s sights, the game is far from over until the king hits the mat.
