Profile Summary: ShantaramZer

Meet ShantaramZer, a chess player whose journey on the 64 squares resembles a rollercoaster driven by tactical flair, stubborn resilience, and occasional bouts of sweet victory followed by humbling defeats. Since 2021, ShantaramZer has been sharpening their blitz skills, hitting a peak rating of 1802 in early 2025 – an impressive climb reflecting hard work, determination, and maybe a little caffeine.

Playing Style

This player exhibits a penchant for the Old Benoni Defense and the mysterious Top Secret opening, proving that sometimes the best strategy is to keep your opponents guessing — and probably checking. With an endgame frequency exceeding 65%, patience is more than a virtue here; it’s a weapon. Average wins last about 67 moves, which means ShantaramZer is in it for the long haul unless the flag drops first.

Psychological Profile

Don’t expect a surrender without a fight — ShantaramZer’s comeback rate after losing a piece is a striking 80%! Their “Tilt Factor” (chess-speak for “how often do I rage-quit or go on a losing spree?”) is modestly low at 12, keeping cool with more grace than most of us after missing a mate-in-one. The best time to catch them online? Around 1 AM, when the rest of the world sleeps and ShantaramZer’s brain is firing on tactical all cylinders.

Statistics and Records

  • Blitz: Over 9,495 games played! Wins and losses are neck-and-neck, but the win streak record of 15 games says it all.
  • Rapid & Bullet: Not just a blitz specialist, their rapid peak rating of 1697 and bullet of 1783 reveal a versatile speed demon on the chessboard.
  • Win Rates: Thrives against lower-rated opponents with almost 69% success, holds steady against equals, and knows the humility of facing higher-rated foes.

Most Recent Triumph

On June 1, 2025, ShantaramZer sealed a memorable victory with the white pieces in a grueling 53-move Catalan Opening, culminating in a picturesque checkmate. This game is a testament to their enduring endgame prowess and strategic depth. Relive the brilliance here.

Fun Facts

  • They end games with style — resignation, timeout, and classic checkmate victories keep opponents guessing.
  • Chess psychology is serious business: ShantaramZer’s biggest nemesis might just be the extra casual games on the side (rated vs casual win difference is -50.71).
  • Perfectly balanced between love for the game and competitive fire, with every loss serving as fuel for the next win.

In essence, ShantaramZer is the grind-it-out, think-it-through player who combines wit, endurance, and a pinch of humor to conquer the chessboard — all while keeping their knight’s sense of humor intact. Stay tuned, because the journey is far from over, and the next checkmate might just be a few moves away.
