Irwan Shah: The Chess Maestro With a Secret Opening

Meet Irwan Shah, a cunning chess player whose blitz chess is powered by a mysterious "Top Secret" opening. With a career spanning over a decade, Irwan has danced through thousands of games, boasting a blitz win rate of just over 50%—not bad for someone who apparently keeps their strategy classified!

Rising and falling like a rollercoaster on the rating charts, Irwan’s blitz rating peaked at 1397 in 2010 but has settled comfortably around 1200-1300 since then—just enough to keep opponents on their toes. Rapid chess has seen flashes of brilliance too, with a max rapid rating nearing 1500 back in 2011. Bullet chess? A brief fling in 2012, proving sometimes fast and furious isn't always better.

Irwan’s playing style is a mix of patience and resilience. With an average game lasting around 67 moves, it’s clear that quick, sneaky checkmates aren’t his go-to. Instead, he’s the endgame specialist who loves to grind down opponents with persistence—as evidenced by an impressive comeback rate of over 82% (because giving up is not in his vocabulary).

Psychological stats reveal a tilt factor of 9, which means he keeps calm under pressure but might occasionally mutter about "that blasted knight." With an early resignation rate of a modest 3.31%, Irwan sticks around to fight, no matter the odds.

When Irwan is not dissecting unwinnable positions, he enjoys proving his resilience after losing a piece—with a flawless 100% win rate following such setbacks. Talk about turning lemons into lemonade!

Playing hours? Irwan prefers to flex his chess muscles between midnight and dawn, with the highest win rate hovering around 4 AM and 10 PM, making him a nocturnal strategist. And if you're lucky enough to face him on a Sunday, prepare for a slightly higher chance of defeat, as that's when Irwan is at his sharpest.

Off the board, Irwan is just as enigmatic, with most of his games played against a variety of opponents—ranging from longtime rivals like hermigldobetanio to newer challengers. His record shows he has a soft spot for surprising wins, especially against tough adversaries.

In summary: Irwan Shah is a resilient, thoughtful, and occasionally mysterious chess player whose secret weapon is persistence and a dash of midnight magic. Whether it’s blitz, rapid, or bullet, he’s always ready to make his next move count—just don’t ask him to reveal his opening secrets!
