Rating Rollercoaster and Fierce Fight Records

Playing Style: The Chess Ninja
Averages speak volumes: an average 85 moves per win, demonstrating stamina and deep strategic prowess, while endgame frequency near 85% suggests Naaas1 likes to settle scores late and strong, squeezing every drop of advantage out of the final phase.
Early resignation is rare (2.18%), showing a true fighter spirit, but watch out if you think you can break Naaas1’s spirit after snatching a piece—an incredible 44.8% win rate even after losing material means comebacks are their calling card. Their knack for staging epic recoveries is enough to give opponents sleepless nights.
The Psychological Arena
With a tilt factor of only 11, Naaas1 manages to keep cool under pressure, although sometimes losing streaks reach up to 11 games—because even GMs aren’t immune to the trollish curse of chess volatility. The best hour to catch this storm brewing? Around 3 PM, when their win rate peaks above 58%.
