Prostorik: The Chessboard's Enigmatic Gladiator
Meet Prostorik, a chess warrior who treats the 64 squares like their personal battlefield. Known for a passion that’s only rivaled by their occasional early resignations (a modest 1.84% rate—because even heroes sometimes throw in the towel), Prostorik’s journey through the ranks is a tale of resilience, unpredictability, and tactical flair.
Rating Rollercoaster
From nearly reaching a Bullet peak rating of 1009 back in May 2021 to a recent Bullet rating hovering around the 500 mark in 2025, Prostorik’s rating graph suggests a career full of dramatic comebacks and daring risks.

Signature Moves & Openings
Prostorik loves a classic start: the Italian Game and Scandinavian Defense variations are among their all-time favorites, yielding nearly a 50/50 win rate — the kind of thrilling back-and-forth that makes chess irresistible. Their blitz antics are peppered with the Scandinavian and King’s Pawn Opening Kings Knight Variation, where win rates shoot up to a cheeky 72% and 64%, respectively—clearly where their speed chess magic shines brightest.
The Mind Behind the Moves
