Candidate Master of the Chess World

Meet advancedrook, a formidable force on the 64 squares and a proud holder of the prestigious FIDE title Candidate Master. This is no mere player; advancedrook is a gladiator of blitz battles, a rapid tactician, and a daily chess enthusiast who’s danced with both victory and defeat on the battlefield.

With a peak bullet rating of 2986 achieved in May 2025, advancedrook proves lightning-fast reflexes and razor-sharp tactics go hand in hand. Not to be outshined, their blitz rating soared to a stunning 2803 in March 2025, while their rapid play peaked at a solid 2460. If the chessboard were a stage, advancedrook’s performances would be standing ovations every time.

Tenacity is their middle name, boasting an incredible 29-game winning streak at their best, and while losses happen to the best of us (with a “best” losing streak of 13), advancedrook never surrenders. With a comeback rate nearing 85%, this player turns near-disasters into triumphs, leaving opponents wondering if their queen was really safe to take.

Playing Style and Personality

Don’t expect patience — advancedrook thrives in chaos. Their games average about 74 moves to win, proving they enjoy undulating battles with plenty of twists and turns. Known for their solid endgame prowess (averaging nearly 79 moves even in losses), they keep opponents on their toes until the very end.

Funny thing about advancedrook: their psychological tilt factor is surprisingly low at 13%, meaning rage-quitting with a throw of the mouse? Not on their watch. And their best hour to play? The chess gods smile at 10 AM — an ideal morning strategist with a cup of coffee (or three).

Repertoire Highlights

  • Blitz Specialty: The mysterious Top Secret openings (9,690 games!) mixed with a dash of Nimzo-Indian Defense and the elusive Reti Opening keep opponents guessing.
  • Rapid and Daily: Dominated by the trusty Top Secret and the Sicilian Defense, showcasing versatility across time controls.
  • Bullet Battles: A wildly diverse arsenal, with over 21,000 games including the Englund Gambit and Van t Kruijs Opening, proving adaptability even in the fastest of games.

Recent Memorable Moment

On May 31, 2025, advancedrook dazzled with a swift victory against NoHeThTo, clinching a checkmate in a nail-biting 40-move duel featuring the Nimzowitsch-Larsen Attack. Their fierce precision turned the tides and sent their opponent’s king into a trap that was as elegant as it was brutal.

Fun Fact

Despite the nickname “rook,” advancedrook’s wins by resignation outnumber those by checkmate, suggesting a knack for putting opponents in situations so dire they’d rather quit than get roasted on the board.

Whether blitzing through bullet games or thoughtfully navigating daily rated matches, advancedrook embodies the spirit of chess with a blend of strategic mastery, tactical alertness, and maybe a hint of secret sauce.
