Nima Nazeri (Fox1397)

Meet Nima Nazeri, also known by the cunning username Fox1397, a chess enthusiast whose journey reads like a thrilling novel with more twists than a Rook's path! Beginning with modest ratings around 1350 in bullet chess back in 2021, Nima’s dedication and clever tactics helped skyrocket his bullet rating to an astonishing peak of 2755 by May 2025— enough to make Magnus Carlsen raise an eyebrow.

Nima’s style could be described as a blend of patience and tenacity — averaging over 75 moves per win in battles that often stretch well into the endgame, which he faces head-on in almost 84% of his matches. With a remarkable comeback rate of 85.81%, surrendering early just isn’t in his vocabulary, even if his "early resignation rate" is technically above zero (a mere 1.13%). If things get tough, Nima is known to fight back fiercely, winning nearly half the games where he lost a piece — a true demonstration of tactical awareness.

While his bullet games are fiery and fast-paced, his rapid and blitz ratings are equally impressive, boasting peaks of 2198 in rapid and 2336 in blitz play. His blitz win rate hovers near 69%, proving his reflexes are sharp enough to match his strategic mind.

Nima has a pretty diverse opening repertoire but shows a special knack for the Sicilian Defense Open Accelerated Dragon Modern Variation, boasting a win rate exceeding 61%. Not one to shy away from a challenge, he also respects the complexities of the Philidor Defense and even ventures into the top-secret openings that keep opponents guessing and scratching their heads.

Off the board, Nima’s psychological resilience shines too, with a tilt factor of 10 (probably referring to his ability to stay cool under pressure rather than a violent reaction to setbacks). His peak performances tend to happen around 7 pm — the golden hour when the kings fall and pawns rise!

Looking at the numbers, this fox is sly — with a longest winning streak of 24 games and a current winning streak of 4. And when he loses, he often bounces right back, refusing to let long losing streaks drag him down.

Just recently, on June 4th, 2025, Fox1397 secured a stylish victory with Black, outsmarting his opponent by resignation in a complex Catalan Opening battle. The game lasted 40 moves, with Nima proving once again that persistence and precise play wear down even the toughest adversaries.

With thousands of games played and hundreds of wins across all formats, Nima Nazeri is more than just a player — he’s a chess odyssey, blending speed, strategy, and a little bit of fox-like cunning to outwit foes. If you see Fox1397 on the board, prepare for a fight where every pawn move counts, and every blunder could be your last!
