From Humble Beginnings to Steady Climber
Starting off at modest bullet ratings barely scraping 200 in early 2023, Metharina quickly found their groove, soaring past 1300 by 2025. A peak bullet rating of 1388 was achieved recently, proving that persistence pays off – especially when you lose a ton before winning tons!
The Daily Dueler & Rapid Tactician
Whether it's daily games (where Metharina's max is 843) or rapid fire battles (topping out above 1500!), this player knows how to mix brains with a dash of chaos. Rapid games are Metharina’s playground, with a spectacular peak rating of 1526 and a win rate making opponents think twice about trading pieces.
Playing Style: Endurance, Comebacks & Occasional Surrender
Metharina’s games aren't usually short shrift – expect long duels averaging over 60 moves per win. Endgames? Bring them on, with a keen eye for comebacks boasting an impressive 83% success rate when trailing after losing a piece.

Tactical Awareness & Psychological Trends
