Bogz Zanity (aka Antibogz)

Meet Bogz Zanity, better known in chess circles as Antibogz, a rapid-improving player who's steadily turning the tides on the 64 squares. From a humble starting rating of 394 in early rapid games to now cresting over 1090 in rapid play by late 2024, Bogz is a true example of persistence—because who said you can't learn chess and still occasionally lose on time?

In blitz and bullet, the tale is just as thrilling. Although bullet ratings linger in the low 300s, Bogz shows off serious blitz hustle, peaking near 870 back in 2021, and playing hundreds of games with a near 50% win rate that proves consistency beats flashiness.

Bogz's playing style is a mix of tenacity and strategy. Known for an impressive 76.9% comeback rate, they’re the kind of fighter who won’t give up even after losing a piece. Their games average around 48 moves when winning, meaning they savor the sweet agony of tactical battles and don't resign early—though they do have a respectable 3.33% early resignation rate for those "Oops, missed that mate in 2" moments.
