Meet Andre Kunz
Andre Kunz, known on the board as dealshark, is a FIDE Candidate Master who treats the clock like it owes them money. Their natural habitat is bullet chess, where they have played more than 12,000 games and reached a peak of 2679 (2025-10-01). They are equal parts thrill-seeker, statistician, and lightning rod, except the lightning comes in the form of one-minute time scrambles.
The Midnight Marathon
Andre's bullet chess rating trajectory is not a steady climb, it is a rollercoaster with vertigo.
In August 2024 alone, they played 934 bullet games. Their longest winning streak is 21 games, and their longest losing streak is 20 games. In other words, they have seen both the crown and the abyss, and they still queue up for more.A Love Letter to 1.e4
When Andre has White, the move is almost always 1.e4. They have built entire empires against the Caro-Kann Defense, the Scandinavian Defense, and the Najdorf Variation of the Sicilian Defense. Andre also has a soft spot for the Amar Gambit, an offbeat opening that confuses opponents and sometimes Andre too. It is not always sound, but it is never boring.
A Rivalry for the Ages
No opponent has shaped Andre's online career more than flooser04. The two have met 191 times, a number that sounds more like a court case than a friendly rivalry. Andre leads 89 to 82, with 20 draws, which makes it one of the most balanced heavyweight fights in online chess. When these two queue up, expect fireworks, flagging, and at least a few rematches.
Chaos With a Calculator
Andre's style is fast, aggressive, and impossible to ignore. They have a comeback rate near 89 percent, and even after losing a piece they still win more than a third of the time. Their average decisive game lasts about 75 moves, which is remarkably deep for bullet, and they are slightly more likely to land the first check than their opponent. Put simply: Andre gets into wild positions, then somehow finds the fire escape.
Best Served After Midnight
The data suggests Andre is a creature of the night. Their strongest winning hours start late evening and peak at midnight, so if you want a fair game, bring coffee and meet them at 00:00. If you want to see a Candidate Master raise the roof in bullet, just wait for the moon. The dealshark is always open for business.
