Chess Player Profile: ISHANBTS
Meet ISHANBTS, a dedicated chess enthusiast who has been dancing on the 64 squares
with a flair for dramatic comebacks and a not-so-secret love for the Pirc Defense. Known for an impressive
comeback rate of 68.45%, ISHANBTS often proves that losing a piece is just a minor setback rather
than a game-ender, with a respectable win rate of 42.08% after losing material. This player seems
to thrive in the face of adversity, able to claw back from the brink more times than not.
ISHANBTS’s chess journey has been a rollercoaster: starting with modest Rapid ratings below 500 in 2021,
steadily climbing to a peak Rapid rating just shy of 1000 at 971 in 2025. A passionate tactician, their favorite openings
include not only the ever-mysterious Top Secret choice but also the Lion Defense with a perfect
100% win rate—talk about a pride of the chess jungle! This player clearly doesn’t shy away from
mixing well-known strategies with their own brew of magic.
Rapid play is ISHANBTS’s battlefield of choice, where they have racked up 360 wins and battled through
331 losses and 30 draws. While their Daily games tell a tougher story with only a single win out of 10, the blitz and bullet
arenas show a fighter who never quits, accumulating 12 blitz wins and a solid 93 bullet victories—though bullet
remains the wild west with frequent swings in fortune.
The psychological resilience is notable, too. ISHANBTS has a tilt factor of just 10, showing a calm mind even when the
pawns are flaming. Early resignation might be the kryptonite here, with a 9.24% early resignation rate, but
perhaps it’s just strategic patience wearing thin in the heat of battle.
ISHANBTS’s best time to play? Midnight (00:00), when the stars align and the chessboard lights up with brilliance.
They manage a perfect 100% win rate at the stroke of midnight—so if you want to challenge them, beware the witching hour!
Recent Highlights:

Off the board, ISHANBTS might just be the chess world's best-kept secret, but on it, this player crafts jaw-dropping battles
full of unexpected turns, fierce defense, and dazzling attacks. Whether you are opening with the Italian Game or lionizing the Lion Defense,
the name to remember is ISHANBTS — a warrior of wit and whimsy in the wonderful world of chess.
