Renowned for his commanding presence on the board, Zallio has proven his skill across Blitz, Bullet, and Rapid formats. In Blitz, he’s climbed to an impressive peak rating surpassing 2500, while also showcasing a strong Bullet performance that reached the 2200+ range. His Rapid journey includes standout successes, boasting a win rate of nearly 60% in standard games and occasional adventures in variants like Oddschess and Crazyhouse, where he remains undefeated.

Demonstrating profound endgame technique (with over 76% of his matches reaching endgame play), Zallio averages around 70 moves in his winning battles and exhibits a balanced grip as either White (50.51% win rate) or Black (49.54%). His strategic resilience shines in fierce comebacks—he perseveres even after losing material, winning many of those difficult positions.

Among Zallio’s most notable feats are a 14-game winning streak and triumphant records against long-standing rivals: he’s contested hundreds of games versus high-volume opponents and emerged victorious in many. His psychological profile reveals a determined fighter who shows minimal tilt, frequently reigniting momentum in later stages of the game. Favored to excel in the early hours, he continues challenging new opponents each day.

As his steady climb toward even higher milestones continues, one constant remains: Zallio’s unwavering passion for the game. Whether in blitz showdowns, bullet sprints, or thoughtful rapid contests, he thrives on the dynamism of chess—a testament to both skill and dedication.
