Belhote

Belhote: The Chess Enigma

Belhote is a chess player whose journey resembles a rollercoaster — thrilling, unpredictable, and with plenty of bumps along the way. Starting out with an initial Bullet rating of 436 in 2023, Belhote quickly accelerated to a max of 820 that same year, showing flashes of lightning-fast brilliance despite occasionally biting the dust just as fast.

In Blitz chess, the highs and lows continued. In 2022, Belhote hit a max rating of 1077, only to drift down to 576 by the end. But if you thought that was a sign of surrender, think again — by 2024 and 2025, the numbers hovered around the 600 range, proving that consistency in the storm is the name of the game.

Daily chess has been something of a sanctuary for Belhote, with ratings steadily climbing: from 844 in 2023 to an impressive 887 in 2025. Patience pays off, it seems, even when your Bullet games might feel like a caffeine-fueled sprint.

Rapid chess? Well, it’s more of a mixed bag but with growth potential. From a modest start at 305 in 2021 to breaking 600 territory by 2024, it's clear Belhote isn't afraid of a challenge — even if it’s slightly longer than a bullet but much less relaxing than a nap.

Stats that Sparkle (and Sometimes Scratch)

• Overall Win/Loss Records: Bullet (588W - 605L), Blitz (483W - 491L), Daily (13W - 10L), Rapid (224W - 199L)
• Longest winning streak: 13 games — enough to make even Magnus sweat!
• Current winning streak: 3 games — the comeback kid vibes are strong.
• Tactical savvy: Belhote boasts a remarkable 100% win rate after losing a piece — basically turning blunders into masterpieces.

Playing Style: The Patient Trickster

With an average of about 59 moves per win, Belhote doesn’t rush to checkmate but enjoys the long strategic grind. Endgames are frequent and often fruitful, with a strong focus on clawing back victories (75.84% comeback rate, wink wink).

Early resignations are rare (only 2.45%), proving this player sticks it out even when the going gets tough. Black pieces seem to be a lucky charm, with a slightly higher win rate (48.49%) than white (48.14%).

Quirky Quirks:

• Victory likelihood peaks on Friday (51.87%) and at 8 AM (a perfect 56%), so mornings before the weekend are prime Belhote hunting times.
• Somewhat of a nocturnal warrior too, with impressive win rates past midnight (2 AM at 52.63% and 3 AM at a whopping 69.23%). Definitely not your average sleep schedule.
• Psychological tilt factor is low (10), suggesting Belhote doesn't throw the keyboard at the monitor (yet).

Legendary Opponents

Some players seem to be Belhote’s personal nemeses: eagle_eye_only and astroj4 have gotten a clean slate with zero wins against them. However, many others have felt Belhote’s wrath with a perfect 100% win rate — talk about a selective memory!

Notable is also Belhote’s mysterious "Top Secret" opening performance, with a nearly 50% win rate across all formats, suggesting a secret weapon in the opening moves, or just very cryptic taste in openings.

In Conclusion

Belhote might not be grandmaster-level (yet!), but this player embodies determination, tactical trickery and the kind of perseverance that makes chess both delightful and maddening. Whether you face Belhote in a breakneck Bullet or a slow-burn Daily, expect a fight, a laugh, and the occasional unexpected comeback. Watch your back — and your queen!
