Profile Summary: afiratcln (aka "ehowN")

Meet afiratcln, also known in the chessworld as ehowN—a tenacious rapid player with a rating rollercoaster that would make even the most daring thrill-seeker dizzy. Peaking at 1048 in early 2021, afiratcln has danced between victories and defeats with a spirit that refuses to resign prematurely (only about 9% early resignations, actually!). Along the way, they've logged more than 200 rapid games, collecting an impressive 97 wins in one particularly frenetic month.

Their style is something of a paradox: patient in the endgame (played it over half the time), but sometimes a bit too eager at the opening—perhaps why their favorite line, the Four Knights Game Italian Variation, boasts a whopping 70% win rate. They have a notorious liking for the King's Pawn Opening and its variants, wielding the Leonardis Variation and Scotch Game with a surprisingly cozy success rate in rapid chess (around 66%).

The blitz and bullet scene might be tougher for afiratcln, with peak blitz rating around 699 and bullet peaking at 290—but hey, even grandmasters have their off-days! Don't be fooled by these numbers; the come-back rate close to 70% suggests a poker face and the persistence of a lion stalking prey. When down a piece, they still muster a decent 36% chance to snatch victory, proving they’re not just a one-trick pony.

Always up for a challenge, afiratcln’s longest winning streak hit seven games—a streak probably fueled by caffeine, fierce concentration, or sheer luck. They prefer the sweet spot of early evening for their best games, with a 69% win rate around 5 PM, making them the unofficial "rush hour" champion.

Opponents beware! Some unlucky players like “cihan-14” and “yatharth9595” have yet to claim a victory, facing a 100% loss record to afiratcln. Yet, afiratcln exhibits the humility to learn from tougher foes, with close to 50-60% win rates against frequent rivals like "valerio-99" and "jimbo11295."

On the humorous side, their win/loss/draw record in rapid resembles a chess battle royale: 116 wins, 127 losses, and 16 draws. It’s chess, after all—sometimes the board laughs at you before you get a chance to checkmate.

Among memorable moments, a recent rapid shining victory involved a graceful queen dance culminating in a resignation win that even Shakespeare might call “checkmate with attitude.” Their games showcase clever tactics, battling in openings and endgames with an average win lasting around 57 moves—because afiratcln likes to make their opponents sweat.

In summary, afiratcln is a fierce competitor—equal parts strategist, fighter, and occasional chess jester—who’s constantly learning and adapting. Whether at the rapid board or duking it out in blitz, this player’s passion for the game shines through every move.
