Chess Player Profile: Aq Om (alexandruomat)

Meet Aq Om, better known in the chess universe as alexandruomat, a spirited competitor whose rating journey resembles a thrilling roller coaster more than a smooth climb. This rapid player has dodged (and occasionally embraced) the ups and downs of chess ratings with the tenacity of a grandmaster in the making.

Starting from humble beginnings around the 1000 rating mark in rapid chess, Aq Om steadily pushed into the 1300s territory — the kind of plateau where many players get stuck... but not our hero! The peak came in March 2024, hitting an impressive 1384 rapid rating, proving that persistence (and maybe a dash of luck) pays off on the 64 squares.

Blitz and bullet battles tell their own tales. Blitz peaked at 1303 back in 2018 — those were the days when every blitz game was a frantic blitzkrieg. Bullet? A humble 810, the speed run across the board where even seconds count. Daily chess offered a nice break from the chaos, with a peak rating of 1211 in early 2023.
