Profile Summary: Anhur X (aka AnhurChess)

Meet Anhur X, a blitz virtuoso whose career might just be the perfect blend of strategy, tenacity, and a sprinkle of surprise. Rising steadily from a modest 978 blitz rating in 2014 to an impressive peak of 1403 by 2020, Anhur has shown that persistence truly pays off—even if sometimes it's just to avoid resigning early (he only taps out about 1.7% of the time, showing some serious grit).

When it comes to openings, Anhur is equal parts bold and versatile, enjoying success with the French Defense Normal Variation and Vienna Game—both boasting win rates over 51%. He clearly likes to keep his opponents guessing, juggling nearly a dozen favored openings in blitz with nearly 5,000 games played over the years. And despite a less frequent dabble in bullet chess, Anhur holds no less colorful records there, with a small handful of games but some 100% win records in certain bullet opening variations (talk about making every bullet count).

Beyond the numbers, Anhur’s playing style reveals a true chess psychologist’s mind. His comeback rate is a staggering 83.8%, winning every game where he's lost a piece—because giving up? That’s just not his style. He’s got a tilt factor of 16, meaning frustration occasionally visits but rarely overpowers his resolve. Average moves before victory hover around 69, indicating a game that’s anything but rushed, and losses often drag on slightly longer, a testament to his gritty fight until the last pawn falls.

Anhur's results also hint at a subtle daily rhythm: the best time to catch him online is around 14:00 hours when his win rate peaks near 53%. Conversely, mornings can be tricky, with a notable dip around 10:00. Whether it's Sunday evening or Wednesday midnight, he’s steadily competitive, proving that consistency might just be his secret weapon.

If you happen to play against Anhur, prepare for a rollercoaster ride—from aggressive openings to relentless endgame perseverance. With a longest winning streak of 14 games and the current streak sitting strong at 4, this player knows how to turn small advantages into crushing victories and isn’t afraid to claw back from the brink of defeat. And yes, if you catch a glimpse of that opening, don't be surprised if it's a Van t Kruijs or French Defense Normal Variation—you’re facing a specialist.

Last but not least, his opponents range from casuals to the infamous "the_craven" (who has faced him a whopping 30 times), making every encounter a chess story worth telling. With AnhurChess, it’s never just a game—it’s a fascinating chess saga.
