Meet ShiningDiamond

A passionate chess enthusiast, ShiningDiamond first emerged in the bullet scene around 2018, quickly building a name with a fluctuating rating that climbed as high as 1619.

In blitz play, ShiningDiamond displays clear adaptability, achieving a peak rating of 1587. Their results reveal a more balanced performance in faster time controls, with a mix of bravery and experimentation in diverse openings—particularly favoring setups like the Reti and King’s Fianchetto. Though they sometimes resign early, the powerful 61% win rate when fighting back after losing material showcases their tenacity.

Tactically, ShiningDiamond’s style is defined by frequent forays into the endgame, a 13% early resignation rate, and a tilt factor of 33—indicating that frustrations can creep in but don’t quell their ambition for a stirring comeback. Interestingly, the best time for them to play is around midday, where focus and confidence appear strongest. Whether piloting White or Black, ShiningDiamond maintains a calm, analytical approach and continues to evolve as a creative and resourceful chess competitor.
