Chess Player Profile: A K (arsalanph9)

Meet A K, the fighter on the 64 squares who has baffled opponents with a blend of stubborn resilience and flashes of brilliance — or, as some might say, the player who sometimes forgets it's chess, not checkers.

Rating Odyssey

• Bullet: A rollercoaster ride between 100 and 292 in 2025, ending the year at 186 — fast, furious, but occasionally tripping on their own knight.
• Blitz: Peaked at a respectable 363, with a last recorded rating of 284 in 2025. A true speed chess enthusiast, battling through 216 games with almost equal wins and losses.
• Rapid: This is where A K shines a bit brighter, holding a high of 1115 back in 2020 and maintaining a solid presence through thousands of games until 2025, adapting and evolving like a chess chameleon.
• Daily: Playing at a steady 660 rating with a neat 50% win rate, proving sometimes slow and steady really does win the game.

Playing Style & Tactics

A K doesn't shy away from the endgame, featuring in nearly half (47.9%) of their battles. With an average of about 52 moves per win, patience is their virtue — or perhaps the ability to seize tiny opportunities when they arise. White pieces earn them a 44.8% win rate, and black sides give them a bit of an edge with nearly 49% wins.

Their comeback rate is an inspiring 57%, and astonishingly, A K has a perfect 100% win record after losing a piece — so watch out, losing a bishop here might just be an invitation for a devastating counterattack.

quirks & Psychological Spark

A K has a tilt factor of 10, which means a little frustration might occasionally sneak in — but who doesn’t lose their cool when the queen pulls a disappearing act? Despite that, they boast a huge 47% advantage in rated games over casual, showing a commendable competitive spirit.

Opening Strategy

The "Top Secret" opening dominates their repertoire — 34 bullet games, 216 blitz, and a massive 721 rapid battles fought with this mysterious strategy, winning nearly half the time. Clearly, it's secret for a reason!

Friends & Foes

A K has tangled most often with sat179 and imgutzz, boasting a stellar 100% winning streak against both. But players like brookesulli and azizonx remain pesky goblins with zero wins against them — everyone has their kryptonite.

When is A K at their Best?

Weekdays are their playground, especially Mondays, where they smash a near 60% win rate. And if you catch them at 11 AM or 10 AM — watch out! Their win rates spike extraordinarily, probably fueled by fresh coffee and daydreams of queen sacrifices.

Summary

In a nutshell, A K is a resilient, strategic, sometimes unpredictable player with a penchant for epic comebacks and tricky endgames. Whether battling in fast-paced bullet or thoughtful rapid, they keep opponents guessing and the chess gods amused. If chess had a personality, it would be A K: a bit chaotic, often brilliant, and always entertaining.
