Chess Player Profile: elseres

From noob to nearly GM-level bullet sensation, elseres has been pirouetting on the 64 squares since at least 2015. Their journey started with a modest bullet rating of 1550, quickly rocketing to a peak of 2585 in November 2024 — not too shabby for someone who apparently likes to resign early only 0.61% of the time. This fierce competitor thrives in the pressure cooker of bullet chess, playing tens of thousands of games, and astonishingly pushing over 23,000 bullet wins against almost 30,000 losses. Talk about perseverance!

While blitz chess has been a side gig with a respectable peak rating of 2312, it's bullet where elseres shines — rapid-fire tactics, lightning-fast sacrifices, and moves so quick you're left blinking and wondering what just happened. Their average moves per win hover around 92, hinting that elseres knows how to grind out victories, one move at a time.

Known for being tricky in the opening, elseres prefers secretive lines (aptly called "Top Secret" in their openings record), but also dabbles fearlessly in variations like the Reti Opening and the Nimzowitsch-Larsen attacks. If you see them waving those rare line flags, beware — this player is a master of the unexpected.

Psychologically, elseres demonstrates strong resilience with a 82.68% comeback rate — so losing a piece doesn’t mean game over. Although their tilt factor is a modest 37, they have a peculiar knack for late night play, with the best performance often at the ominous stroke of midnight (00:00). Maybe they’re nocturnal, or maybe it’s just a chess wizard harnessing the arcane power of the witching hour.

Fun fact: elseres once achieved a longest winning streak of 14 games and (less fun) a brutal losing streak of 37 — proving that chess is a roller coaster, and they’re strapped in for the wild ride. Their current streak may be zero, but as any true chess warrior knows, the next blitz battle is just a click away.

Recent Highlights

Whether you’re facing elseres in bullet or blitz, prepare yourself for an unapologetically tenacious opponent who blends deep strategy with the blitzkrieg pace. This player’s blend of dogged perseverance and sneaky opening choices make each encounter a thrilling spectacle. Will you survive elseres's onslaught or be left shaking your head as the clock runs out? Only one way to find out!
