Zandur

Profile Summary: Zandur

Meet Zandur, the chess player whose rating graph looks like a rollercoaster — thrilling ups, dramatic downs, and plenty of unexpected twists. Starting out in 2012 with a Bullet rating of 1034 (one game, one loss — rookie jitters?), Zandur took some time to find their feet but steadily climbed to a Rapid peak of 1409 in 2023. Not too shabby for a player who likely believes "castling" is a dance move!

With over 7,000 blitz games under the belt and a near-even win-loss record, Zandur's style is a blend of gritty resilience and tactical fireworks. They boast an astounding 100% win rate after losing a piece—which suggests that Zandur doesn't just shrug at setbacks, but plays comeback artist like no other. Indeed, their comeback rate is a respectable 64.86%, making them a nightmare for opponents aiming for an easy finish.

Opening choices are eclectic but consistent—Zandur favours classical defenses like the Caro Kann and Pirc, mixing in spicy gambits like the Scotch Game Scotch Gambit Haxo Sarratt Variation (take a bow for that name!). This daring opening choice yields a spectacular 69.67% win rate in Rapid, illustrating a player who is unafraid to walk the less traveled, often scary, path on the chessboard.

Psychological toughness? They've got a tilt factor of 12, so maybe don’t mention their blunders after 3 AM games (where the win rate suspiciously spikes to 57.14%—probably fueled by caffeine and sheer stubbornness).

Zandur averages about 51 moves per win but sticks it out for 60 moves in losses, proving they are a stubborn grinder who fights every game to the end. Whether playing White or Black, winning rates hover around 51% and 47%, respectively, showing balanced skill on both sides of the board.

Fun fact: Despite the chess warrior’s resilience, early resignation rate is just 1%. So if you're facing Zandur, expect a fight till the last pawn—no surrender without a struggle!

In the grand saga of chess, Zandur may not yet wear the crown of a grandmaster, but with a winning streak as long as 16 games and a spirited online presence, this player is a true gladiator on the 64 squares, forever battling, forever learning, and occasionally baffling opponents with tactical wizardry no one saw coming. Keep an eye on Zandur—because the best part of chess is the surprise moves, and they’ve got plenty up their sleeve.
