Meet Xerathi: The Enigmatic Chess Dynamo
Xerathi, a chess warrior known more for resilience than perfection, has been climbing the ranks with a blend of tactical flair and a dash of unpredictability. Possessing a peak rapid rating of 640 achieved back in June 2023, and an astonishing bullet top score of 731 in May 2024, Xerathi truly lives on the edge of speed and strategy.
As an avid rapid player, Xerathi’s journey is a rollercoaster of highs and lows. With over 600 games played in rapid, they’ve managed to snag nearly half as many wins as losses (302 wins to 256 losses), alongside some well-earned draws. Their playing style reveals a love for complex endgames—almost 60% of their finishes go deep into the match—suggesting perseverance and patience. Average moves per game hover around 57-58, demonstrating a penchant for drawn-out battles rather than quick trickery.
In bullet chess, Xerathi turns up the pace and the pressure, boasting a win rate north of 55% over 300+ games, with a peak rating of 731—definitely a force to be reckoned with when the clocks tick down. Blitz is no stranger either, with consistent 50%+ win rates and a peak rating near 601.
Not just a machine, Xerathi is a tactical magician with a 75.6% comeback rate—losing a piece doesn't mean defeat for this player! A tilt factor of 8 hints they've got some fiery emotions, but also a clear best time to play: midday at 12:00, when the mental gears click just right.
Known for a low early resignation rate (~4.5%), Xerathi refuses to give up without a fight. Their games often end with time scrambles (240 wins on timeout!), proving their nerves of steel under clock pressure.
Against the board, Xerathi’s go-to opening arsenal remains a closely guarded secret, contributing to a surprisingly balanced win-loss record. Opponents beware: this player has defeated some rivals with a 100% success rate and wrestled down frequent foes like "andrelive71" with a respectable 65.7% win share.
