Meet arulbh: The Chess Conqueror with a Twist

Once upon a chessboard, there emerged a player not afraid to dance with chaos and checkmates alike—arulbh. With a peak blitz rating of 1102 achieved back in April 2018, and a rapid peak of 956 as recently as January 2025, arulbh isn't just competing; they're on a quest to leave pawns, knights, and opponents breathless.

Style and Strategy

arulbh prefers the battlefield of blitz and rapid chess, where decisions must be as quick as a knight's hop but as calculated as a master’s handshake. Their game is sprinkled with a healthy mix of early resignations (about 5.3%)—because who has time for hopeless positions? Average moves hover around 50 per win, proving this is no one-move-wonder but a strategist who loves the long game.

True to form, arulbh shines brightest in comeback scenarios, boasting a staggering 77% comeback rate. Lost a piece? No problem! With a 43% win rate after losing material, they play the chess equivalent of "It's not over till the queen sings."

Opening Choices

Whether it's the aggressive King’s Pawn Opening with a respectable 50% win rate in blitz or the crafty Scandinavian Defense Mieses Kotrc Variation where they've crushed opponents with a 72% win rate in rapid, arulbh loves to mix classical moves with a dash of surprise. The Queens Pawn Opening is also a favorite, delivering solid success with 57.5% wins in blitz.

Recent Triumphs

Just recently, arulbh clinched a thrilling checkmate victory in a Scotch Game against sotmam — sealing the match in a well-executed 56-move finale that had bishops firing lasers and rooks marching like soldiers. Not one to shy away from the spotlight, arulbh also boasts multiple wins against opponents such as babyboychinito, sammat21, and ustas032, all with a perfect 100% win record.

The Numbers Game

  • Rapid Play: Holds a nearly 48% average win rate, constantly challenging higher-rated foes.
  • Rating Fluctuations: From the early 600s in 2018 to hitting the 700s and fluctuating nowadays, arulbh's journey is the chess equivalent of a rollercoaster—with plenty of thrilling highs and dramatic moments.

Psychological Play

With a tilt factor of 11, arulbh keeps their cool more often than not, though even the best have their off days. Playing peaks between 8am and 10am suggest mornings are when their brain pounces hardest—perhaps fueled by coffee or sheer willpower to defeat pawns and dragons alike.

In Conclusion
