Atle Nord

Meet Atle Nord (aka "Atleticos")

Atle Nord, known in the chess circles as Atleticos, is a player who approaches the 64 squares with something between enthusiasm and bold experimentation. With peak ratings of 885 in Blitz, 1324 in Rapid, and 675 in Bullet, Atleticos may not topple grandmasters just yet, but their fighting spirit and resilience are something to behold.

Chess Journey & Style

Since 2023, Atleticos has dived into all flavors of fast chess — Blitz, Rapid, and Bullet — accumulating a hefty collection of games totaling well over 80 battles on the digital battlefield. While the win-loss record might make some coaches raise an eyebrow (zero wins in Blitz and zero wins in Bullet), their Rapid game shows heart with 30 wins and a near-even fight with 39 losses and 4 draws.

Playing openings like the Alekhine's Defense (Maroczy Variation) with deadly precision (and a 100% win rate in two Rapid games, mind you), Atleticos also experiments fearlessly with Scandinavian Defense variations and the King's Pawn openings. Unfortunately, the Alekhine’s Defense hasn’t always yielded success in Blitz or Bullet – sometimes a bold strategy comes at a cost.

Memorable Moments

Atleticos' recent wins are filled with gritty determination. Take the victory over weftrhuiopiyfgdrfrgtuhiop where despite a modest Black rating of 762, they outmaneuvered and outlasted their opponent in a complex Alekhine’s Defense battle, finishing the game in a mere 19 moves.

However, playing chess isn’t always smooth sailing for Atleticos. Their longest losing streak reached a tough 7 games, proving that even on the grand chessboard of life, sometimes you’re the pawn, sometimes the knight, and sometimes... well, you just get checkmated fast.

Atleticos’ Quirks & Strengths

• Comeback King: Despite challenges, Atleticos has an impressive comeback rate of 73.33% – rarely bowed by setbacks and ready to strike back.
• Early Resignation Rate: About 15% of games end with Atleticos waving the white flag early, because sometimes surrendering means detouring around a mass of lost pawns rather than trudging through.
• Best Time to Challenge: If you want to catch Atleticos at their sharpest, tune in around 11:00 AM, where their win rates peak across early hours.
• Endgame Enthusiast: With 36.36% of their games entering the endgame, Atleticos isn’t just about quick skirmishes — the late-game holds many more stories.

Personality Snapshot

With a Tilt Factor of just 7, Atleticos maintains a fairly cool head even when pawns rain down and kings come under fire. Their playing style reveals a fighter who values strategic patience, takes risks, and – most importantly – doesn’t give up without a battle.

Opponents beware: although win rates may not scream “chess prodigy” yet, Atleticos can deliver surprising puzzles and tactical shots, especially in Rapid games. Facing them means facing a stubborn challenger ready to make the game interesting, if nothing else!

In Summary

Atleticos embodies the spirit of chess for many — learning through trials, celebrating small victories, and always returning for the next game. Not every move is a masterpiece, but every game tells a story. So whether they're navigating the Scandinavian Defense or happily blundering pieces, Atle Nord keeps the chessboard lively and fun.
