Sultanofshatranj: The International Master of Mayhem

Meet sultanofshatranj, an International Master who commands the chessboard with a blend of regal strategy and unexpected flair. With a peak blitz rating flirting with the 2665 mark, this player proves that speed doesn’t compromise precision — unless it’s a blitz mouse slip, which might have happened once or twice.

Known for an almost suspiciously high comeback rate of 83% and a flawless 100% win rate after losing a piece, sultanofshatranj refuses to be counted out early. Opponents might think they’ve gained the upper hand, only to find their Sultan turning the tables with endgame mastery—playing out long, grueling battles that average around 62 moves to victory.

Fascinatingly, this player has never resorted to early resignations, confirming a fierce fighting spirit. The Sultan’s prowess with the white pieces shines a little brighter with a 64% win rate, though black is defended just as valiantly, boasting a solid 57%.

The Sultan thrives most on Sunday afternoons and early mornings, with win rates soaring to a royal 80% and 83% respectively. Evening battles at 8 PM are also a good time to watch the fireworks, clocking an 80% success rate—maybe the Sultan enjoys playing with the night breeze in their strategy.

Over the years, sultanofshatranj has taken down a cavalcade of foes—defeating many repeatedly, while maintaining a particular dislike for a handful, including the enigmatic charlatante. The Sultan remains gracious, though, shrugging off occasional losses with a tilt factor of just 8 (yes, there is a tiny chance of grumbling at the board).

Whether blitz, rapid, or (rarely) bullet, sultanofshatranj keeps the Top Secret opening repertoire locked and loaded, yielding a blitz win rate of an impressive 61% over 326 games—enough to strike fear and curiosity equally in chess circles.

Future opponents, beware: this Sultan does not merely play chess—they orchestrate a symphony of cunning, determination, and the occasional cheeky move that reminds everyone why chess is anything but boring.
