Esuolc: The Enigmatic Blitz Warrior
Meet Esuolc, a chess player who thrives in the fast-paced battleground of blitz and bullet chess, wielding the clock and the board with almost poetic flair. Rising from modest beginnings with a blitz rating under 1000 in early 2019 to a blistering peak of 2440 just two years later, Esuolc proves that persistence and rapid calculation are their true allies.
Career Highlights
- Peak Blitz Rating: 2440 (March 2021) – just shy of grandmaster territory, but no less impressive given the speed of the format.
- Peak Bullet Rating: 1858 (June 2020) – showing that when the seconds tick down, Esuolc still dominates.
- Peak Rapid Rating: 2261 (May 2022) – a testament to versatility beyond just blitz and bullet.
Playing Style & Personality
With an average win length topping 67 moves and an endgame frequency near 67%, Esuolc refuses to cut corners. This player enjoys squeezing every last drop of advantage from the board—even if it means their opponents are stuck watching breathlessly until the final move.
Their resilience is legendary, with a comeback rate of 85.19%, meaning if they lose a piece early, don't count them out just yet! They have a low tilt factor (10), proving that even when the blunders happen, Esuolc keeps calm and carries on.
Early resignation is rare—only about 2.44%—because why quit when you can keep fighting? The drama of a ticking clock and daring tactics suits Esuolc just fine.
Competitive Record
From over 944 blitz games, Esuolc has a solid 46% win rate—modest but respectable, especially given the fierce competition and rapid format. In bullet, 757 games attest to their speed and nerves of steel. In rapid games, they shine with a 61% win rate, flashing tactical awareness and endurance.
Their longest winning streak is an impressive 13 games, and currently they’re on an 8-game winning spree. Not bad for someone who can blunder a piece and still pull off a miracle!
Chess Repertoire & Favorites
Esuolc plays a "Top Secret" opening repertoire, which in chess terms means either they like to keep everyone guessing or they forgot to tell us—either way, it works! With nearly a thousand blitz games under that banner, opposing players never quite know what’s coming next.
Their favorite time to bring the fire? Late at night around 23:00, when their win rate soars to a staggering 65%.

In Summary
Whether blitzing through an opening or grinding a long endgame, Esuolc is a formidable opponent with a flair for the dramatic and a heart of a warrior. They may not always win, but when they do—expect fireworks. And if you’re lucky enough to face them after midnight, you might just witness something extraordinary.
