A Journey Through The Ratings
Starting strong in early 2025 with blitz ratings touching a fantastic 400, the journey has seen up-and-down tides, typical of any passionate player undeterred by losses.

Style & Strategy
Samalyk1208’s style is a tactical cocktail: showing an impressive come-back rate of nearly 65% and an adventurous streak that doesn’t shy away from costly risks (only 8.87% early resignations, so stick around for the fireworks!). Games often last an average of about 58 moves when winning, proving patience and strategic depth, while losses tend to end slightly faster — still, almost never a dull moment.
A special shout-out to their love for the Pirc Defense, a favorite go-to with a perfect 100% win record in blitz on this opening in recorded games, and their “Top Secret” opening choices, where fierce battling results in nearly an even win/loss record — about 46% wins across a hefty 477 blitz games. When it comes to white or black pieces, white edges out slightly higher win rates (47% vs 43%), suggesting a preference for setting the pace.
