The Lockpick of the 64 Squares
Aniil Berk Erdogan, better known online under the magical handle Alohamora11, is a FIDE Candidate Master who has made a career of opening seemingly locked positions. Whether they are outwitting opponents from the Modern Defense: Pterodactyl Variation or prying things open with the French Defense: Exchange Variation, Anil brings a mix of quiet preparation and late-night chaos to the board.
From Bullet Novice to Online Heavy
Anil's first adventures on the site showed up in 2012, when they were just under 1400 in bullet chess. That is a long way from the player who would later knock on the Park Ratings gate with a blitz peak of 2674. A look at
shows the curve going all the way up; 2777 (2025-04-12) marks the moment the vectors sealed. It is enough to make a casual fan whisper "alohamora" at their own password manager.A Repertoire With Teeth
Anil clearly enjoys spicy modern setups. Among their favorites are the beloved Modern Defense: Pterodactyl Variation, a pet line that shows up in multiple hundreds of blitz games, plus a reliable French Defense edge with the Exchange Variation. They are also comfortable in the Benoni Defense and the Sicilian Defense family, where they are as willing to paddle as to draw.

Every good chess story needs a rival, and Anil has a big one. Against Kayra Kamer, the lock metaphor meets a door made of steel: across 77 blitz battles, kayrakamer has emerged victorious 54 times while Alohamora11 has taken 19. The defeats are embarrassing, the few wins are slightly heroic, and the matchup is probably studied by both sides more than they will ever admit.
On the brighter side of the ledger, Anil completely took care of another frequent seasoned, tedariksizhacetegiden, winning 21 of their 31 meetings. That shows the same Champion is not just the prey of one rival, but also a small guardian of revenge.
Quick Notes from the Board
- Anil claims to prefer Rapid, even if Blitz hoards most of the data. Everyone has a "home time control" inside.
- The longest winning streak was 11 wins; the longest losing streak was 10 losses. Balance, apparently.
- Anil wins almost 50.8% of their blitz games, and their morning rate around every is about 1 in 10, but that's what playing until 6 a.m. does.
- The best hour to play them is around 1:00 a.m. mentioned in the data. Do with that what you want.
- They have an 89.15% comeback rate, so an early exchange sacrifice is not the end of the story.
