Chester Player (aka PrizedPeace)

Meet Chester Player, a relentless chess warrior known to many by his fierce online avatar, PrizedPeace. With a peak blitz rating soaring up to 1973 in mid-2017, Chester has proven he’s no mere pawn in the fast-paced world of rapid and blitz chess battles.

Starting out in 2014 with a bullet rating around 1300, Chester’s tenacity and passion quickly boosted him to a peak bullet rating of 1741 by March 2016. His love for fast games is evident, having played tens of thousands of bullet games, collecting wins and losses with near-even balance, and maintaining a typical game length that keeps opponents guessing (and blinking).

Not just a speed demon, Chester’s style balances patience with aggressive tactics. His average moves per win hover near 59, showing he enjoys a well-fought battle rather than quick, lucky checkmates (though he’s absolutely capable of those!). His comeback rate is impressive—if you think you’ve caught him off-guard, think twice; Chester bounces back almost three-quarters of the time when behind.

Psychological resilience? Oh yes—though he’s got a tilt factor of 17, he’s learned to keep calm and carry on. Rage-quitting early is rare for this player, with an early resignation rate under 3%. He’s a fighter till the end, especially in endgames, where he spends nearly 68% of his time hunting for victory.

Noteworthy Moments

Chester’s recent highlights include a stunning checkmate victory against popo00 in a 60-second live blitz duel, showcasing slick preparation in the Semi-Slav Defense. His wins often come with a strategic flourish, timing perfect attacks late in the match.

The losses do sting sometimes, like a recent close call with sudheerkumarp, who edged him out on time. But let’s be real: every chess player's path is paved with setbacks—and Chester’s record of tens of thousands of games shows his true love for the game, win or lose.

Fun Facts & Stats:

• Longest winning streak: 23 games (that's some serious momentum!)
• Currently on a winning streak of 2, so watch out!
• Jack of speed chess: bullet, blitz, rapid — he’s battled fiercely across all formats
• Prefers evening and late night battles, but surprisingly, 7 AM marks his best time to pounce
