salman-16: The Rapid Roller

Welcome to the whimsical world of salman-16, a rapid chess enthusiast who’s been making waves on the virtual boards throughout 2025. Known for resilience and a knack for late-game fireworks, this player prefers the rapid time control – probably because life’s too short to think for hours!

Career Highlights

salman-16 boasts a rollercoaster rating journey, peaking impressively at 586 in March 2025 before settling into a steady rhythm around the mid-200s by June. This player throws caution to the wind, sometimes trudging through lengthy battles averaging over 60 moves per game – a true marathoner who knows endurance counts.

Playing Style: Chess with a Twist

• Endgame aficionado: With endgames occurring in nearly 63% of games, salman-16 loves squeezing every last bit of juice out of a position.
• Fast but not furious: Early resignation rate is a modest 6%, so the fight usually goes on until the king is cornered or the clock runs out.
• Comeback Kid: A stunning 72% comeback rate after falling behind shows a fighting spirit that's hard to keep down.
• White and Black: A nearly balanced win rate wielding both colors proves versatility, with a slight edge playing white at 46% victories.

Opening Repertoire

Masters of both the usual and the offbeat, salman-16 prefers poking around the King's Pawn Opening (e4) but has a fondness for some sneaky sidelines:

• Van't Kruijs Opening: 57% win rate, ideal for those who like to surprise opponents.
• Kings Pawn Opening – Kings Knight Variation: Just over 53% win rate – a solid classical choice.
• Queens Pawn Opening: Holding a respectable 54% win rate, because who doesn't like a good d4 push?
• Less lucky with French Defense’s Kings Indian Attack, where the thrills rarely turned into wins (only 33%).
