Player Profile: sniperoftal
Meet sniperoftal, the chess virtuoso whose rapid ascent on the board is as impressive as their persistence through the quagmire of losses and wins. Averaging close to 689 in rapid games in 2024, this player didn't just stop there—jumping to an impressive 901 rating in rapid in 2025. Clearly, sniperoftal believes in the power of growth, or maybe just sheer stubbornness!
In the realm of blitz, sniperoftal’s journey is a rollercoaster: from a peak of 1007 rating down to 607 in 2025, the highs and lows show a love-hate relationship with lightning moves. Yet, their tactical awareness is no joke — boasting a comeback rate of over 60% and a win rate of 100% after losing a piece. When life (or chess pieces) drop, sniperoftal rises like a phoenix... or at least tries really hard to.
Known for a calm game with an early resignation rate below 4%, and a willingness to dance through endgames half the time, sniperoftal's average game runs about 50 moves for a win and slightly longer for losses—because who doesn't love a dramatic finish?
Playing with White brings a touch of magic too, boasting a 56.2% win rate, while playing Black keeps things spicy at 44.43%. Their longest winning streak is a cool 8 games, with the current streak just warming up at 1. The psychological tilt factor is a modest 8—enough to remind us sniperoftal is human, occasionally tempted to throw the board when the knight refuses to cooperate.
