Profile of Candlez2

Meet Candlez2, a chess player who sets the board ablaze with rapid-fire moves and occasionally smolders in the heat of battle. With a peak Rapid rating of 774 achieved back in September 2024 and a steamy Daily high of 873 in April 2025, Candlez2 is no stranger to the rollercoaster of online chess ratings.

Specialized mostly in Rapid and Blitz games—with a dash of Bullet and a sprinkle of Daily play—Candlez2 boasts nearly even wins and losses across the formats. Whether it’s the deeply mysterious "Top Secret" opening that they’ve tested over 400 times or sneaky variations like the Caro Kann Defense where their win rate peaks impressively at 66.67%, this player is all about keeping opponents guessing.

Playing style? Expect a long game—with an average of 50 moves per win and a shocking 55 moves per loss (because those nail-biting battles take time!). And don’t be fooled, as Candlez2 is a champion of comebacks with an 80.31% comeback rate after falling behind—a phoenix on the chessboard, rising from tactical ashes to victory!

Candlez2's psychological resilience is as legendary as their tilt factor of 11 (yes, they get a little fiery, but who doesn’t?). Their best time to ignite the board is around 11 PM, right when the chess gods seem to bless their tactics with a night owl’s precision.
