Andri Siswanto (andrisiswan)

Meet Andri Siswanto, a rapid chess enthusiast whose rollercoaster rating journey is as thrilling as a grandmaster’s gambit! Starting with a humble rating just above 1000 in early 2021, Andri quickly climbed the ranks, peaking at a respectable 1929 by August 2022. Not bad for someone who probably still loses some matches to their pet when distracted.

With over 8,000 rapid games played, Andri is no stranger to the battlefield of pawns and knights. Winning slightly over half of those games, with a solid 50.33% win rate, they prove that persistence trumps despair (most of the time). Their analytical mind shines through an average of 67 moves per win – proving Andri appreciates a good, long strategic battle rather than just blitzing through.

Playing Style & Psychology

A tactical wizard with a 79.2% comeback rate, Andri is the kind of player who refuses to lie down after losing a piece. While they do have a "tilt factor" of 13, it’s mostly just enough passion to fire up those endgame pushes that make watchers bite their nails. Their best time to play? Around 7 PM, apparently when the stars align and the coffee kicks in.

Interestingly, Andri tends to resign early only about 2.5% of the time, which means they prefer to fight it out till the bitter end. And speaking of ends, Andri loves endgames — almost 72% of their games hit those late stages, making them a true endgame aficionado.

Memorable Moments

Among their most recent victories are elegant checkmates and resignations from opponents who just couldn’t crack Andri’s solid defense and sharp attacks. In one particularly inspiring showdown, Andri* sealed the victory with a beautiful queen sortie delivering checkmate at move 21 — a reminder that Andri doesn’t just play chess; they put on a show.

Sure, there have been some losses, including hard-fought battles where resignation was the only surrender, but every loss is just another step in Andri’s quest for chess greatness — or at least to avoid those embarrassing blunders in future games.

Fun Facts

• Longest winning streak: 15 games — that’s practically a chess marathon without breaks!

• Checkmates are a favorite way to finish: over 1,000 wins by checkmate alone.

In short, Andri Siswanto is a dedicated chess warrior battling it out on the rapid stage, armed with strategy, resilience, and maybe just a sprinkle of stubbornness. We look forward to seeing many more knights, queens, and pawns fall before their cunning play.
