Chess Profile: amitnis
Meet amitnis, a resilient and spirited player navigating the thrilling rollercoaster of online chess ratings. With a peak rapid rating of 591 achieved in late 2024 and a daily rating climbing as high as 549 in mid-2025, amitnis proves to be a fierce competitor in multiple time formats – although blitz might be their quirky Achilles heel with a humble peak of 125.
Known for a tactical prowess that allows comebacks 73% of the time after falling behind, amitnis rarely surrenders without a fight – reflected in the impressive 38% win rate even after losing a piece. With a tilt factor of 11, they’re probably only a little bit salty when things don't go their way, which might explain the occasional 11-game losing streak, soon followed by a glorious 10-game winning streak - talk about emotional swings worthy of a grandmaster’s nerve!
Delving into their play style, amitnis favors the Scandinavian Defense and Caro Kann Defense, boasting a 67% and 53% win rate respectively in rapid games, proving that sometimes the older, less flashy openings can really pack a punch. Their go-to opening in daily games remains the classical King’s Pawn Opening, balancing both offense and defense like a tightrope walker without a safety net. They're particularly effective playing with white (winning 45.6% of the time) and black (winning 41.5%), showing versatility on both sides of the board.
Games aren’t just numbers for amitnis – they prefer to fight till the endgame, with over half of their matches stretching into the final phases (54.6% endgame frequency), averaging around 51 moves per win. If losing a piece isn’t enough to shake them, they clearly know how to strategize as reflected by their high comeback rate.
Best of all? Their absolute best chess hour is at 1 AM, when the rest of the world sleeps, amitnis is likely plotting checkmates with devilish precision under the moonlight – who needs sleep anyway?
