purehorses: The Chess Virtuoso with a Dash of Humor

Meet purehorses, a lightning-fast chess player who seamlessly blends tactical wizardry with an almost unnatural ability to bounce back from adversity. Starting from humble beginnings in 2014 with a blitz rating of around 1430, purehorses galloped through the ranks to reach a peak blitz rating of 2738 in 2024 — that's Grandmaster territory for those keeping score at home.

But purehorses isn’t just a blitz specialist; their bullet rating skyrocketed from just over 1300 in 2014 to a perfect 2700, the mythical 'bullet rockstar' rating, showcasing a speed that'd make even the fastest rook dizzy.

Playing Style & Psychology

Known for a fierce love of the endgame (appearing in nearly 90% of finished games), purehorses plays long and deep, averaging nearly a hundred moves even when winning. You might wonder how they keep their sanity — the answer lies in that insanely low early resignation rate of just 0.51% and a comeback rate of 94.62%. Literally, if you knock a piece off their board, buckle up! purehorses wins 99.97% of such scenarios. Take that, Murphy’s Law.

On the flip side, beware if you’re playing casually against purehorses — a rated-versus-casual win difference of -41.03 hints that their casual game might feel like a stroll in the park for the horses, but rated time is a full-on chess rodeo.

Impressive Streaks & Records

Future Whisperings

With activity stretching into 2025 and a rapidly evolving rating curve, purehorses is clearly not slowing down. Whether grinding out positional endgames or breaking into hyper-speed bullet marathons, this player balances grit with flair and a toy box full of “top secret” openings.

In the world of chess, where every move counts, purehorses is more than a player — they’re a spectacle riding the 64 squares with style, smarts, and just the right amount of cheeky flair.
