Aron Teh - FIDE Master and Tactical Virtuoso
Aron Teh, also known online as Ellipsoul, is no ordinary chess player. With the prestigious title of FIDE Master under their belt, Aron has proven to be a formidable presence on the 64 squares, especially in the fast-paced blitz and bullet formats.
A Lightning Journey Through the Ratings
Starting from modest beginnings in 2017 with a blitz rating just shy of 2000, Aron quickly stormed the scene, soaring to a peak blitz rating over 2700 by 2019—a rating many grandmasters would envy in faster time controls. Not to be outdone, their bullet performance reached similar heights, with a top peak near 2700 in 2023. When it comes to rapid and daily chess, Aron keeps a solid, respectable game with consistent ratings hovering in the high 1900s to mid 2300s.
Playing Style & Strengths
Known for an aggressive yet calculated playstyle, Aron has a knack for tactical fireworks. With a comeback rate of over 53% and a win rate near 59% even after losing a piece, this player is as resilient as a chessboard's most stubborn knight. Their games tend to last about 50 moves on average, showing patience but a preference for sharp complications.
Aron’s psychological resilience is noteworthy, maintaining a low tilt factor (16) in a game mode where many crumble — proving a cool head even during blitz battles. Early resignations happen over half the time; perhaps a sign of self-confidence or a “Why drag it out?” attitude.
