GAZANRAF: The Relentless Chess Conqueror

Meet GAZANRAF, a fearless warrior on the 64-square battlefield, whose chess journey reads like an epic saga of daring attacks, nail-biting comebacks, and unexpected blunders — all wrapped up in a whirlwind of pawns, knights, and queens!

Rating Chronicles

Starting in 2020, GAZANRAF's blitz rating skyrocketed from a humble 355 to a peak of 852 in August – no small feat for a player who’s been known to zigzag the rating charts like a knight on caffeine. Rapid has been the true playground though, with a peak rating soaring to a formidable 1112 towards the end of 2020. Bullet, the lightning fast format, saw a respectable top rating of 604, proving that GAZANRAF isn't just fast, but also sharp when the clock ticks down to seconds.

Style & Personality

Known for embracing the chaos, GAZANRAF’s games often average around 40 moves per victory. Early resignations are rare — only about 9% — showing grit even when pieces start disappearing like socks in a dryer.

Their win rate as White is an impressive 57%, while the Black pieces still hold ground with nearly 48%. Don't be fooled; when down a piece, their comeback rate is a surprising 59% — truly a phoenix rising from the ashes of lost material.

However, watch out for the tilt factor hovering around 15%, especially if it’s past the prime chess hour of 8:00 AM, where brilliance is guaranteed to peak.

Opening Repertoire: The Tactical Buffet

GAZANRAF is no one-opening pony. Blitz sees a strong affinity for the Petrov’s Defense - Classical Damiano Variation where they enjoy a delicious win rate of over 84%. The Bishop’s Opening and its Berlin Defense counterpart are also favorite playgrounds, with respectable win rates hovering near the 50-60% mark.

Rapid games favor sharp early confrontations with the Ruy Lopez Berlin Defense where a stellar 75% win rate is proof that GAZANRAF likes to tiptoe through Berlin with a dagger. Bullet play includes the tricky Van ’t Kruijs Opening, an offbeat choice that yields solid results.

Battle Scars & Glorious Victories

This player isn’t just about ratings; memorable showdown highlights include a clever victory in a French Defense Knight Variation where the clock pressure did the talking, marking a classic win by timeout. Another standout game was a savage checkmate via a Nimzowitsch Defense Declined, showcasing GAZANRAF’s sharp tactical awareness.

On the flip side, not all battles end in triumph. Our hero has faced some brutal setbacks too — with a longest losing streak of 15 games. But hey, a true chess gladiator knows every defeat is just a plot twist in the grand narrative!
