Profile: anshiu - The Chess Journeyman

Meet anshiu, a chess player whose rating history reads like an adventurous rollercoaster ride. Starting in 2022 with a rapid rating near 979, anshiu bravely navigated the deep waters of chess strategy, sometimes sinking as low as 256 — a reminder that every great player has their ups and downs (mostly downs, in this case).

In 2023, anshiu dived headfirst into rapid games with nearly 380 battles fought, winning 168 and losing 186 – clearly proving that chess is a marathon, not a sprint. Daily chess was attempted with a perfect 400 rating, but with only two games played, there’s still room to grow in that format. Blitz and bullet? A wild experiment with more losses than wins but plenty of experience gained.

Known for a Top Secret opening repertoire (perhaps literally Top Secret, as no one knows what it is), anshiu boasts a respectable 42.6% win rate in rapid games and still manages to shock opponents with a comeback rate of nearly 44%. Losing a piece? No problem – the win rate after losing a piece is a jaw-dropping 100%! Maybe anshiu’s style could be summarized as "turn the tables or at least confuse the heck out of you."

With an average of 43 moves per win and a grudging acceptance of early resignations (38.33%), anshiu is a true pragmatist: sometimes you fight, sometimes you fold, but always with a grin. Playing as white, anshiu tends to hold a slight advantage (44% wins), while playing black still needs some polish (35% wins).

Off the board, anshiu's psychological tilt factor of 30 suggests a player who occasionally lets emotions run wild — but hey, who wouldn't after 248 rapid losses? The current winning streak of 2 games shows that resilience is very much alive.

Favorite battle times? Between 10 AM and 6 PM with a comfortable win rate peaking at over 60% around 12 PM and 18 PM — daytime tactical ninjutsu in full effect. Sundays are special, boasting a solid 57% win rate, so if you want to challenge anshiu, consider scheduling your game accordingly.

Opponents beware: some have never tasted victory against anshiu (looking at you, ayuussh011 and muzamil_s), while others have been crushed with 100% win rates against anshiu – proving that chess is also about the stories behind the numbers.

In short, anshiu is not just a player, but a spirited chess adventurer, learning from every check and checkmate, enjoying the game with a hint of humor, and always ready to come back stronger — or at least to make you wonder what just happened on the board.
