Chess Journey & Style
Vahe has experienced the full rollercoaster of chess ratings, peaking at a respectable 1200 in Rapid, 1100 in Bullet, and 377 in Blitz.

Opening Repertoire
Vahe is a true explorer of the chessboard, dabbling in a wide array of openings. From the classic Giuoco Piano variations—where he enjoys about a 66% win rate in some lines—to the stalwart French Defense Advance Steinitz Variation, which has brought him a 100% success in the few games he tried, Vahe’s openings are both eclectic and effective.
However, not all lines are equally friendly; his Scotch Game attempts have yet to deliver a win, but hey, every master was once a disaster waiting to happen!
Competitive Highlights & Opponents
Vahe’s competitive spirit is best highlighted by his track record against opponents. He boasts a 100% win rate against several players, including soldat_bigizz, who recently suffered a time loss at Vahe's hands in a cleverly played Queen’s Gambit Declined Marshall Defense. On the flip side, some opponents like georgii67 and ibnuwahabz have proven tricky, handing Vahe some tough checkmates, reminding us all that chess is a humbling teacher.
His best time to strike on the virtual battlefield? The wee hours at 5 AM—possibly powered by coffee, sheer will, or the mysterious “early bird chess advantage.” His favorite days to challenge foes lie in the workweek, especially Monday and Friday, when his winning percentages climb above 55%.
Personality & Playing Philosophy
Vahe has a tilt factor of 9, which means after a loss, he might just grumble and rearrange his pieces mentally before diving back into the game. This psychological resilience, paired with an approximate 33% win rate after losing a piece, underscores a fighter’s mindset—never count Vahe out, even if he’s a pawn down!
Whether navigating complex endgames or launching daring attacks, Vahe’s black and white pieces are equally likely to dance into victory, sporting a roughly 47% win rate with White and 41% with Black.
