Zaharist: The Chess Journey

Meet Zaharist, a chess adventurer whose rating graph looks like a rollercoaster designed by a grandmaster of unpredictability! Rising from a humble Rapid rating of just 638 in 2020, Zaharist soared to a peak of 1555 in 2021, proving that with enough strategic finesse (and maybe a touch of beginner's luck), almost anything is possible on the 64 squares.

Fast forward to recent years, Zaharist has shown a versatile flair for every time control: Rapid, Blitz, Bullet, and even Daily chess — because why limit yourself to just one speed? Bullet chess, with its frantic pace and heart-rate-raising seconds, seems to be his playground, boasting a max rating nudging 1415 in 2023. Blitz battles keep him on his toes too, with a spicy max rating of 1514 in 2025.

But it's not all about numbers. With a record cracking a total of over 10,000 games across formats, Zaharist's resilience shines through with a comeback rate of 77.14% – yes, sometimes losing a piece is just an excuse to wow the crowd with a knight fork or a sneaky queen sortie.

Psychologically, Zaharist is like any mortal battling the notorious “Tilt Factor” which hits a humble 16; not quite grandmaster zen, but hey, at least the wins taste sweeter because of it. His most memorable streak? A 13-game winning sprint that's either pure genius... or luck disguised as genius.

Openings remain his "Top Secret" weapon—literally undisclosed, perhaps because even Zaharist sometimes forgets what he played last move! His win rates hover around 46-48% across modes, making every game a nail-biter where underdogs beware.

Zaharist also proves versatility with an endgame frequency north of 69%, with creative endings and a knack for squeezing every last pawn advantage. Average moves per win hover around 63 moves, showing patience that would put a Zen monk to shame.

Whether battling it out on Wednesday evenings (46.6% wins) or raising the bar during the 18th hour with a 52.3% win rate, Zaharist’s dedication is unwavering. Just don’t challenge him too early in the morning – 1 AM only yields a 34.15% success rate... guess even chess warriors need sleep.

All in all, Zaharist is not just a player, but a crusader of checkered battles, consistently striving to turn pawns into queens, struggles into victories, and blunders into memorable stories. Expect the unexpected, and never underestimate a player who keeps their openings “Top Secret.”
