Nico Chasin (aka ProphetReborn)

International Master of the Chessboard

Nico Chasin, known in the online chess world as ProphetReborn, is an International Master with a flair for lightning-fast bullet games and a reputation for tactical wizardry. While they might not have yet conquered the world title, they've certainly acquired a loyal legion of opponents wishing they'd resign just a minute earlier.

Playing Style & Strengths

Nico thrives under the intense pressure of rapid and bullet chess, wielding an impressive peak bullet rating of 3084 achieved in March 2023 — a number that sounds more like a spaceship model than a chess rating. Known for surviving nail-biting comebacks (a cool 82.37% comeback rate), they combine sharp calculation with steady nerves, although their tilt factor at 21 suggests they feel the heat like the rest of us mere mortals.

Their games tend to be marathon affairs with an average of about 83 moves to win or lose, proving they don’t just play for quick tricks but grind it out with deep strategy. And if you ever wonder how hard it is to go on a winning streak with them, Nico holds a personal record of 24 consecutive victories — a streak evoking equal parts awe and sympathy from their opponents.

Stats & Records

• Bullet record: Over 2,000 wins and nearly 1,700 losses with a respectable 50.23% win rate against a top secret (and possibly secretive) selection of openings.
• Blitz prowess: Peak rating of 3018 (June 2024), along with a nearly 50% win rate across 2,175 games.
• Rapid chess: Slightly more modest at 2100, but every IM has to start somewhere!
• Favorite times: They tend to perform best around 9 AM — so don't challenge Nico first thing in the morning unless you are prepared for a fight.
• Chess moves per win: 83 moves on average (because patience is a virtue... and probably necessary when battling them).

Recent Highlights

On July 14, 2024, Nico showcased their mastery by triumphing over a 2688-rated opponent in an epic battle of the Queen’s Gambit Declined (yes, they know their openings), winning by resignation after a tense 49-move joust. Not one to back down, they have an extensive collection of victories by resignation and timeout, revealing a knack for squeezing opponents till they crank the clock down to zero.

But even titans stumble. Just a day prior, they suffered a tough loss to a challenger known as quemirasboboandaparaalla, facing a Sicilian Defense onslaught. After all, an International Master is never out of the learning phase — or the occasional dramatic defeat that makes grandmaster-level chess all the more thrilling.

Personality & Quirks

According to session stats, Nico sometimes resigns early (about 11% of the time), proving they know when to conserve energy for the next battle. Their psychological resilience shines with higher win rates when playing black and an uncanny ability to turn a bad piece loss into at least a 48.89% chance of victory. Some suspect they might actually talk to their pieces—and those pawns seem to obey.

In summation: Nico Chasin is the embodiment of dedication, tenacity, and a dash of merciless bullet precision. Whether you're a fan or foe, ProphetReborn commands respect on every board they grace.

(And if you beat them? Congratulations. If you lost? So did most of us.)
