Anthony Levin: The National Master with a Blitz Addiction

Anthony Levin, proudly holding the title of National Master, is a formidable presence on the chessboard whose journey is as dynamic as a rapid game clock ticking down.

A Versatile Player Across Time Controls

Anthony shines brightest in the Blitz and Bullet arenas, boasting peak ratings of 2183 in Blitz (2025) and a scorching 2272 in Bullet (2024). With thousands of games under their belt — over 3,500 Blitz matches alone! — Anthony’s average Blitz rating hovers impressively around 2100, proving they’re no stranger to pressure and fast-paced decision-making.

The Tactical Dynamo

The numbers tell a story: a stunning 99.6% win rate after losing a piece implies a resilience that few can match. Combine that with an 88% comeback rate, and you get a player who will never throw in the towel early — unless, perhaps, it’s a joking “early resignation” that happens just 1.69% of the time. Anthony’s chess style screams, “Keep calm and castle on!”

Moves Longer Than a Netflix Series

On average, Anthony’s wins last over 75 moves, suggesting a penchant for grinding down opponents in lengthy endgames (with an endgame frequency of nearly 75%). Maybe they just enjoy hanging out with kings and pawns a little too long — some say it’s the chess equivalent of binge-watching your favorite show.

Winning With White, Surviving With Black

White pieces offer Anthony a 56.54% win rate, while Black isn’t far behind at 51.33%. Clearly, whether starting the game or responding, Levin plays with confidence and style.

The Opponent Whisperer

Some opponents perform better than others — Anthony has a 100% win record against "thequ3efsgambit" and "aimlessphilosopher," proving a particular knack for exploiting certain styles. However, "realchampa" remains Anthony’s nemesis, yet all great heroes need a worthy rival!

Chess at Any Hour... but Especially at 8 AM

Anthony’s peak winning hours include a whopping 71% win rate at 8 AM and a fierce 61% at 7 AM. Who says early birds don't checkmate well? And for those late-night gamers, 0:00 hours bring nearly 58% wins. Clearly, Anthony burns the midnight oil just as fiercely as the morning sun.

Sometimes Tilted, Always Playing

With a tilt factor of 8, even Anthony isn't immune to those "why me?" moments — but a mighty positive psychological balance shows in their steady performance, despite a minor win difference when switching from rated to casual games.

Fact Box:

• Longest winning streak: 15 games — no small feat, likely including some sweat-inducing nail-biters.
• Average moves per loss: ~69, showing fights to the very end.
• Games played: Tens of thousands across Blitz, Bullet, and Rapid formats.

To sum it up: Anthony Levin is a chess player who loves the rush of fast games and the challenge of long duels alike. A tactician, a fighter, and occasionally a philosopher of the board, they prove every day that a good chunk of patience mixed with lightning-fast calculation is a recipe for success — and a few laughs along the way.
