Craftsman357: The Blitz Warrior with a Tactical Edge

Meet Craftsman357, a bold blitz player navigating the fast and furious world of chess with a blitz rating hovering around 881 in 2025. With a lightning-fast style and a tactical mind sharp enough to pull off comebacks at a staggering 95% rate, Craftsman357 is the kind of player who doesn’t just play — they stage epic battles that last on average nearly 70 moves, proving they enjoy the long haul rather than quick scalpings. Endgames are their playground, appearing in over 80% of their matches, which means they’re never too quick to bow out early; giving up? Not in this craftsman's vocabulary!

While the win rate might not be at grandmaster level (hovering around 38% in blitz), the craftsman's resilience shines brightest after losing a piece — recovering to win every single time, which is basically chess magic with a hint of stubbornness. Contrastingly, their “tilt factor” (the ability to keep calm when the game gets tough) is a modest 9, showing they're only slightly prone to chess drama.

Craftsman357’s opening repertoire is intriguingly labeled Top Secret — a mysterious strategy deployed in all 52 recorded blitz games, netting a 38% win rate. Opponents beware: when this player gets going, it's not just a game, it’s a tactical puzzle wrapped in enigmas.

Rivals and Record

Craftsman357 has tangled with a colorful cast of opponents, from frequent foes like tonintonin11 (four games deep, though without a win so far) to new challengers like donroger2000, who fell to triumph in 100% of encounters. Whether facing long-time rivals or fresh contenders, Craftsman357’s outcome can swing wildly — victories sometimes elusive, but never without a fight.

Fun Facts
