Meet SalJr717, a chess player whose journey is a thrilling rollercoaster through the ranks of bullet, blitz, rapid, and daily chess. Starting in 2020 with a humble rapid rating around 400, SalJr717 quickly turned the tide, climbing steadily to a respectable rapid peak of 1427 in 2024. Clearly, this is no ordinary pawn pushing hobbyist!

With a blitz rating that soared past the 1200 mark by 2023 and an ever-evolving bullet rating that once flirted with 1048, SalJr717 prefers their chess fast and furious — and often wins! The bullet matches alone boast an impressive 2,773 wins balanced by nearly as many losses, showing that SalJr717 battles fiercely but rarely surrenders. Speaking of winning, their longest winning streak of 13 games proves that when in the zone, few can stand in their way.

SalJr717's style is a fascinating blend.

With a comeback rate near 72%, SalJr717 is the kind of player who forces opponents to keep sweating until the final move.

Oh, and about that psychology? While SalJr717 can occasionally tilt (with an 11 tilt factor), it never lasts long enough to stop the chess magic. Despite a slight challenge in switching gears between rated and casual games, they fight every move like it’s their last gambit.

A fun tidbit: SalJr717’s best hours seem to be in the early morning (4 AM wins about 60% of the time), so maybe they’re secretly a vampire grandmaster lurking in the night. Talk about burning the midnight oil!
