Player Profile: AsUsualAni
Meet AsUsualAni, the chess warrior whose blitz and rapid ratings have ascended like a rocket fueled by caffeine and sheer stubbornness. Starting from humble beginnings with a blitz rating of 222 in 2021, Ani has skyrocketed to an impressive 1286 by 2025, proving that consistent play and a touch of madness pay off on the battlefield of sixty-four squares.
With almost 7,000 blitz games logged (yes, you read that right), Ani has honed a remarkably resilient style, boasting a near 50% overall win rate across that format and an even more formidable 52% in rapid games. Bullet might be tricky territory with its lightning-fast decision making, but with a solid 51.5% top secret opening win rate, Ani knows a thing or two about catching opponents off guard.
Speaking of style, Ani prefers to fight till the endgame, with a high Endgame Frequency of nearly 62%, dragging matches deep into the trenches where technique counts most. The games are long (average of 63 moves per win!), reflecting patience, strategic planning, and just a little bit of “please don’t blunder” luck. Interestingly, Ani’s Comeback Rate stands at an astounding 77%, and after blundering a piece, a perfect 100% win rate—clearly demonstrating a knack for turning the tables when others might just rage-quit.
But wait, every hero has their kryptonite. Ani’s Tilt Factor clocks in at 12, meaning losing a piece or a game might spark occasional bouts of online grumbling (or maybe just a funny meme or two). Also, there’s a curious drop in performance between rated and casual games, suggesting that sometimes the weight of the rating makes the brain go “Oops!”
When does Ani play? Hours of power appear to be around 20:00, with a mysterious win rate spike touching 58%, while the wee hours of 2-3 AM might be a little more chaotic, as the win rates dip into the 40s. Weekdays are more fruitful than weekends, with Tuesday being the shining star (win rate 53%). Clearly, that’s when the focus and coffee align perfectly.
Opponent beware: Ani has a mixed record against some frequent rivals. While some like dreamrealizer and saadzan have suffered a clean sweep, others such as iggster11 are more challenging foes. But when in doubt, trust Ani’s record against most opponents to be better than 50%—the sign of a competitive spirit unwilling to back down.
In summary, AsUsualAni is a dedicated chess gladiator thriving in longer, strategic battles, adept at comebacks, and fueled by a hefty dose of love for the game. Whether blitzing through opponents or slugging it out in rapid matches, Ani’s chess journey is a thrilling mix of grit, guile, and just enough tilt to keep things interesting.
