M Aftab: The Chess Journeyman
Meet M Aftab, also known in the chess world as Aftabbbbb, a player with a flair for dramatic comebacks and a knack for keeping opponents on their toes. With a blitz rating that has danced between 100 and 636 over the years, Aftab’s journey is a rollercoaster of highs, lows, and plenty of pawns sacrificed in the name of glory.
In blitz, Aftab has played over 1,300 games, winning nearly as many as lost, with a win count of 515 out of 1,058 games with a mysterious opening intriguingly titled "Top Secret"—clearly, he’s hiding more than just his best moves. Despite a somewhat modest rapid rating that peaked at 782, his resilience shines through with a comeback rate near 62%, turning hopeless positions into memorable triumphs.
Not one to shy from challenges, Aftab’s psychological fortitude is tested with a tilt factor of 13—proof that even the best have their "off" days. He’s not the fastest finisher either; games tend to average around 50 moves, suggesting a fondness for deep endgame battles where strategy truly unfolds. His endgame frequency at 53% supports this preference for the long haul.
Whether facing opponents with usernames like "secreat_of_darkness" or "jens-69," Aftab's performance varies wildly: some opponents have never seen him win, while others have been completely swept off the board. Aftab's bullet chess adventures may be brief—with only a single game played and lost—but daily chess is where he scored a perfect 100% win rate (albeit in just one game).
His peak blitz rating recently climbed back up to a respectable 414, hinting that the journey is far from over. When he’s not busy plotting his next "Top Secret" opening, you might find him playing at odd hours, with his highest win rate around 9 a.m. (a bright start to any chess day!) but less so past sunset—everyone has their kryptonite.
All in all, M Aftab is an enduring competitor who proves that in chess, as in life, persistence and a secret weapon can go a long way. Whether he’s about to resign early (a mere 6.87% of the time) or grind out a hard-fought victory, one thing’s clear: the chessboard has plenty more stories to tell from this clever strategist's hands.
