San Thit Lwin (aka bolwin) - FIDE Master Extraordinaire
San Thit Lwin, proudly bearing the title of FIDE Master, is a dynamic chess force to be reckoned with. Known in the chess world as bolwin, they combine razor-sharp tactics with a streak of resilience that would make even Magnus pause for thought.
Since bursting onto the blitz scene in 2020, San Thit Lwin's rating rollercoaster soared from a modest 1192 to a peak blitz rating of 2412 by 2023. Their blitz record is nothing short of impressive, boasting over 2,700 wins and a penchant for top-secret, mysterious openings — clearly a chess player who loves a bit of intrigue!
Rapid and bullet fans are no less impressed. With a rapid peak rating comfortably above 2000 and a bullet rating brushing the 2300s in earlier years, their speed-chess prowess is undeniable. They tend to savor the endgame with a frequency of nearly 79%, proving that when it comes to grinding out wins, bolwin is not one to give up early. The average winning game clocks in at a patient 67 moves — a marathoner in the marathon of minds.
If there's ever a catch, it's their admitted tilt factor of 29 — just enough to remind us that even chess masters have moments when their coffee needs to be stronger. But don't let that fool you; their comeback rate is an astonishing 85%, and get this — a 100% win rate after losing a piece. Talk about turning lemons into first-class chess lemonade!
San Thit Lwin's greatest streak of glory? A jaw-dropping 22 consecutive wins, followed by a current winning streak of 9. Not bad for someone who keeps opponents guessing with "Top Secret" openings that likely involve at least some chess magic.
When and where do they shine? Early mornings have a special charm—win rates peek over 50% for early daylight hours—and evenings around 7 to 8 pm are a prime time to challenge bolwin, though only the brave emerge victorious.
Blessed with a chess spirit that refuses to quit, a mind that delights in deep strategy, and a sense of humor likely to enjoy a pun or two about rook-ies and pawns, San Thit Lwin is a player who embodies the art and heart of the royal game.
Watch this space — or better yet, their next game — because bolwin is always a move ahead!
