Opening Repertoire – The Secret Weapon
An17up’s go-to openings are as intriguing as their username. The mysterious "Top Secret" opening (yes, we’re curious, too!) has been tried over 1700 times with a winning percentage just shy of 49%. The Modern Defense stands out with a stout 71% win rate, while trusty classics like the Indian Game and Queen’s Pawn openings provide solid backup strategies.
Recent Battles
Among the latest highlights, An17up recently outfoxed Crusher696 in a tense game lasting 57 moves, compelling their opponent to resign in the face of relentless pressure. Not all days are wins, however: An17up has faced defeat by strong opponents like Munich_Beast_1997 and Karapanter2013—but each loss is a stepping stone toward mastery.
Personality on the Board
Known for a modest 4.2% early resignation rate (because why quit early if there's still hope?), and a tilt factor of 17 (meaning a little frustration, but nothing an iced tea can’t fix), An17up balances fierce competition with an affable style. They’re a player who loves the game long enough to both savor sweet victories and learn humbling lessons from defeat.
In a nutshell, An17up is the kind of player who turns chess into a chessy adventure—calm with a dash of cunning, speed with a sprinkle of strategy, and enough passion to keep opponents on their toes. Watch out on blitz time controls, because An17up’s moves come fast and their game keeps getting better.
