Shoooting_Star - International Master Extraordinaire
Meet Shoooting_Star, an International Master who lights up the chessboard much like their fiery username suggests — swift, sharp, and occasionally dazzlingly unpredictable. Since earning their IM title from FIDE, Shoooting_Star has been soaring through the ranks, particularly shining in the blitz and bullet arenas.
A Flashy Career Through Time
With a blitz peak rating nudging 2834 and bullet rating peaking above 2650, Shoooting_Star clearly thrives in the heat of rapid-fire battles. From storming the board with a blitz winning streak as long as 10 games, to pulling off comebacks in over 82% of matches after losing a piece, this player’s resilience is nothing short of legendary.
Playing Style: Strategy Meets Showmanship
With an endgame appearance frequency over 74%, Shoooting_Star prefers to swing the sword late and often — patiently stalking opponents before delivering the final blow. Average move counts hover near 70 per victory, so patience is clearly in their toolkit. A slight tilt factor of 11 adds a touch of human vulnerability, proving even stars can have their off days.
Opening Moves & Secret Weapons
The “Top Secret” opening repertoire has earned a curious 43% win rate in blitz and an impressive 61% win rate in bullet games, making it a mysterious force feared by many. It seems that the less their opponents know, the harder they fall.
Opponent Chronicles
Not one to shy from rivals, Shoooting_Star has battled players like pouraghabala_amirreza, jacky72, and keranke. Win rates vary wildly — a humbling 0% against some and a perfect 100% against others — proving this star has stories of both triumph and some burning losses to share.
When & How They Shine
Their winning magic is strongest mid-afternoon (15:00 boasts a perfect 100% win rate!) and late evening approaches, peaking at an 87.5% win rate at 19:00. Sundays and Wednesdays are lucky days, with win rates exceeding 55%, while Fridays stubbornly remain a black hole of zero wins — maybe a day best spent away from the board.
The Personality Behind The Pieces
Shoooting_Star is a tactical wizard with a comeback rate that would impress even the coldest grandmaster. While easily rattled sometimes (early resignation rate near 16%), they never fail to make thrilling matches. Whether blazing through bullet games with lightning speed or carefully crafting long blitz encounters, Shoooting_Star is the player who reminds us: in chess, as in life, stars don't just shine — they shoot.
