Galile Ortaparmak (a.k.a. SON_ATLI)

Meet Galile Ortaparmak, also known by the legendary username SON_ATLI — a name that echoes across the realms of online chess like a mysterious war cry. With a peak blitz rating soaring to an impressive 2263, and a bullet peak of 2285, Galile is a force to be reckoned with on any board, digital or physical.

Career Highlights & Playing Style

Since bursting onto the scene around 2009, Galile has amassed tens of thousands of games, collecting nearly 16,000 wins in bullet and blitz alone. Known for a sharp tactical awareness (comeback rate of 86.12%!) and an uncanny ability to bounce back after losing a piece, Galile plays like a chess phoenix — always ready to rise, sometimes from checkmate, usually from resignation, and occasionally from timeout (the bane of many chess players).

With an average of over 73 moves per game (both wins and losses), a solid opening repertoire heavy on Sicilian Defense variations, and a penchant for the closed, tactical battles of the French and Caro-Kann Defenses in rapid play, Galile's style is equal parts endurance and flair. Their white pieces tend to score better, with a 52.8% win rate, while black slightly lags at 48.7%.

Favorite Openings and Signature Moves

• Blitz: Sicilian Defense Open Scheveningen Sozin Attack (Win rate 52.88%) and Sicilian Najdorf Lipnitsky Attack (Win rate 62.5%) stand out as fan favorites, proving that when Galile enters the battlefield, the Sicilian snake is ready to bite.
• Bullet: The Caro Kann Defense is a trusty steed with a 54.67% win rate, but don’t underestimate the ferocity of the Scandinavian and Old Benoni defenses—each a trusty weapon in Galile's expansive arsenal.
• Rapid & Daily: French Defense and a handful of secret weapons (yes, the cryptic "Top Secret" opening!) add a dash of mysterious spice to matches played at a more relaxed pace.

Psychological Profile & Gaming Quirks

Galile fights tilt like a ninja — their psychological "Tilt Factor" is a mild 24, meaning when they get frustrated, it’s more of a fluster than a meltdown. Interestingly, the best time for Galile to strike is around 4 AM, a time when most mortals sleep soundly except this chess warrior who gears up to dominate pawns and knights alike.

Their longest winning streak? A staggering 20 games. The longest losing streak? An epic 24 games (because even champions have humbling days). Currently, Galile rides a 3-game winning streak—potentially heading towards another historic run.
