Ethan Sheehan (aka Little_Skib) - National Master Extraordinaire

Meet Ethan Sheehan, a chess whirlwind known in the chessboard arenas as "Little_Skib." Awarded the prestigious National Master title, Ethan isn't just your average player; they're a force of nature across all time controls, especially blitz and bullet, where speeds soar higher than caffeine consumption on a coding sprint.

By 2025, Ethan had blitz ratings nudging the remarkable 2917, and a bullet rating of 2734, proving that quick thinking and faster fingers are very much their domain. With over 2400 blitz games played, boasting a near 50% win rate, Ethan’s commitment to marathon battles is nothing short of legendary. Despite racking up thousands of games, they maintain psychological resilience with a tilt factor of just 11—meaning they rarely throw their pieces around in frustration (though we all suspect a quiet sigh or two after a brain-melting blunder).

Ethan’s style is as relentless as it is patient: the average win clocking in at 83 moves proves they love the deep, strategic endgame dance rather than quick fire skirmishes. This dedication to careful endgame mastery is further reflected in an impressive 82.94% frequency of games making it to that critical phase.

Humor and resilience are Ethan’s bedfellows — their comeback rate stands at a jaw-dropping 92%, and they achieve victory 100% of the time after losing a piece. Apparently, if your chess tactics try to rattle Ethan, think again! They turn losses into spectacular epic wins.

On the social front, Ethan has tangled most often with opponents like shadowking71 (142 duels) and danielnaroditsky (87 matches), maintaining competitive win rates that make casual onlookers jealous. When playing with the white pieces, they tend to shine brighter with a 55.52% win rate, while black pieces still hold respectable victories.

Ethan’s preferred "opening" is top secret — probably because even their chess openings keep opponents puzzled and sleep deprived. Whether blitz, bullet, or rapid, their winning percentages across these formats only hint at their versatility and mastery.

Outside the board, one might imagine Ethan as the calm strategist who quips, "I don’t lose games, I just let the opponent think they’ve won… temporarily." Enthusiasts admire the balance of brain and bravado, strategy, and speed packed into every move Ethan makes.

In short, Ethan Sheehan is a chess adventurer whose National Master title is just a waypoint in their ongoing journey towards tactical greatness and maybe a few memes along the way.
