Andrew Liu - National Master Extraordinaire
Andrew Liu, known in chess circles (and occasionally in coffee shops) as Anhao, is a National Master who has blitzed his way through opponents with a rating that soared from humble beginnings at 1200 in 2013 to an eye-popping 2854 in 2025. Armed with a sharp tactical mind and a love for quickfire games, Andrew has amassed thousands of blitz wins, proving that speed and precision can indeed coexist.
From the early days of struggling to scrape a draw, Andrew quickly turned the tide, boasting an astonishing 50.45% win rate in blitz across nearly 8,000 games. Bullet chess? No problem — he dominates there too, with more wins than losses and a win rate creeping above 52%. In rapid games, his record practically glows with an 84% win rate, showcasing his adaptability and strategic depth.
Andrew’s style might best be described as delightfully relentless: a comeback rate topping 92% and a 100% win rate after losing a piece reveals a player who refuses to bow out early. With an endgame frequency of over 85%, he's no stranger to the long haul, happily pushing battles well beyond the opening shenanigans that fluster lesser mortals.
Despite a slightly mischievous tilt factor (because even maestros get annoyed), Andrew keeps his cool - exhibiting a low early resignation rate and maintaining razor-sharp focus with an average of 86 moves per win in blitz. He doesn't just play chess; he choreographs it.
Outside the board, his records against familiar foes like gmjoey1 and kot60 add spice to his competitive career — with win rates ranging drastically, it's clear Andrew thrives on both rivalry and camaraderie. And yes, he’s also battled the infamous chessable_fanatic, who managed to keep him at bay this time.
Whether under the pressure of the ticking clock in bullet and blitz or the slower tempo of rapid, Andrew Liu plays with a unique blend of fierce tactical awareness and psychological fortitude. Always ready for the next game, Andrew keeps climbing, proving that the path of mastery is never a straight line but a thrilling rollercoaster of moves, blunders, and brilliant checkmates.
Keep your eyes on Anhao — the board is his playground, and checkmate is just the beginning.
