Profile: atharfq (aka athabiasaaja)

Meet atharfq, a spirited chess player navigating the battlefield of 64 squares with a rating saga as colorful as their opening repertoire! Despite hovering in the modest rating ranges—peaking at Blitz 898, Rapid 862, and Bullet 609—this player has proven that chess is more about fun and persistence than just numbers.

Known for an adventurous opening choice like the Englund Gambit (a bold 55% win rate in Blitz) and the reliable Anderssen Opening (winning more than half their Blitz games), atharfq loves mixing creativity with a dash of chaos. The Van 't Kruijs Opening shines bright too, especially in Rapid with an impressive 70% win rate. In Bullet, however, the record is a tad less forgiving—0% wins in Van 't Kruijs, but hey, even heroes have their kryptonite.

atharfq’s games are not for the faint-hearted. With an average game length around 50 moves both in wins and losses, they show resilience and a knack for long strategic battles. Their endgame frequency sits above 50%, proving they're not just about flashy openings but also grinding down opponents when it counts. And when the chips are down? Their comeback rate safely holds at an inspiring 81.6%, showing great tactical alertness and mental grit.

Psychologically, this warrior of the board has a tilt factor of 9—so yes, sometimes the chess gods mess with their head, but at the stroke of 1 AM, watch out! Their peak playing hour, when focus and brilliance align perfectly.

The record books reveal a player with a streaky nature: a longest winning spree of 7 games followed by a tougher 9-game losing streak. Chess is full of ups and downs, and atharfq rides the rollercoaster with a smile (or so we hope).

When it comes to victories, some foes have felt their wrath fully: opponents like michael-scofield5 and cbarlow5 have never taken a game off atharfq, while others like noamws or wilywilwil remain a mystery yet to be conquered.

Their most recent win is a textbook demonstration of persistence and positional play, defeating michael-scofield5 by resignation after outmaneuvering with the Nimzowitsch Defense—clearly a favored weapon in their arsenal.

In sum, atharfq is the underdog chess hero who keeps fighting, learning, and proving that victories come as much from spirit as skill. So if you meet them for a game at the witching hour, be ready—because this fighter never quits, and checkmate is always lurking somewhere!
