Trey Modlin - National Master Extraordinaire (aka battlecry216)
Meet Trey Modlin, a National Master whose chess prowess has been steadily blasting through rating ceilings like a knight on a rampage! Whether known on the board or by their username battlecry216, Trey’s journey through the ranks is a tale of resilience, strategic cunning, and maybe a pinch of bullet-speed insanity.
Since 2011, Trey has been a relentless force in online arenas, especially in Bullet chess where their rating skyrocketed from around 1400 to an awe-inspiring peak of 2453 by 2024—and that’s no typo. Their blitz skills are no joke either, with a peak rating over 2200, and a steady daily rating hanging around 1800-1900. It’s safe to say Trey’s mouse finger has seen more action than a caffeinated squirrel!
Trey’s playing style shows a love for the long game, averaging over 65 moves per win, suggesting patience, precision, and the occasional dramatic queen sacrifice. Their comeback rate is a staggering 84%, proving that giving up is not in Trey’s repertoire—unless the opening has gone spectacularly wrong, which only happens about 1.5% of the time. Also, having a 100% win rate after losing a piece might make opponents wonder if Trey secretly owns a time machine.
With an impressive streak of 22 wins and a lion's share of victories against some top opponents, Trey’s chess battles are as thrilling as a rollercoaster ride through a fortress. When not blasting through opponents at warp speed, Trey clearly knows how to stay chill, as their tilt factor is a modest 11—because even National Masters lose a game or two (or fifteen) sometimes!
Outside the statistics and rankings, Trey Modlin is the kind of player who makes chess nights unforgettable—whether by pulling off unpredictable tactical fireworks or just by their sheer persistence. If you see battlecry216 challenging you in Bullet or Blitz, prepare for a wild ride.
Fun fact: Trey’s favorite opening is so secretive, it’s just called “Top Secret” — maybe it’s a lost city of chess treasures, or just a sneaky way to keep opponents guessing.
