Meet bjarkihraf, a chessplayer whose rapid rating journey is as colorful as a rollercoaster ride at a carnival! Starting off in 2022 with a solid 800 in rapid chess—which promptly reminded bjarkihraf who’s boss—the rating then took a scenic route through wins and losses, finally settling around 364 in 2025. Not bad for someone whose win-loss record plays a mix of “clutch comeback artist” and “learning-from-defeat” maestro.

Speaking of comebacks, bjarkihraf has an impressive 60.33% rate of bouncing back after setbacks, and an almost supernatural 100% win rate after losing a piece. That’s right: lose a knight, and suddenly bjarkihraf is plotting checkmate like a grandmaster in disguise.

When it comes to style, this player likes to keep things long and thoughtful, with average wins lasting nearly 52 moves. With endgames occurring 44% of the time, bjarkihraf clearly enjoys torturing the opponent into submission one move at a time. Beware of the steady psychological tilt factor at 8—few things ruffle bjarkihraf’s feathers, but a tough position might just be one of them.

Despite the grinding grind, bjarkihraf has a longest winning streak of 8 games and plenty of undefeated records against some opponents (100% wins against coffeebeans270, raphael110700, and others). However, some adversaries have proven tougher (looking at you, addi3r and gunnaralex), making this rivalry-filled chess saga even more intriguing.

And here’s a fun tidbit: if you’re sparring with bjarkihraf between 3 AM and 5 PM, be warned—this player peaks with win rates soaring up to 81.82% at 3 AM and a sharp 60% at 9 PM, illustrating a nocturnal chess predator with a taste for late-night tactical battles.

In closing, bjarkihraf is a fierce competitor with a secret opening (literally “Top Secret”) that has led to over 178 wins in rapid games, plus a sarcastic smile when losing the first piece because, hey, that just means the comeback is coming.

Stay curious, and watch out, because bjarkihraf’s chessboard stories are anything but dull!
