Early Days
Starting out in 2014 with a modest rapid rating of just over 1000, Zachary's beginner's luck was balanced by early defeats — a 50/50 win-loss split with as many losses as wins. It was clear from the beginning that this wouldn't be a quiet walk through the park but a thrilling rollercoaster ride filled with tactical surprises.
Growth and Grit
Fast forward to recent years, Zachary's rapid game has seen impressive improvement, peaking at 1191 and maintaining an average rapid rating over 1050 in 2025. His blitz performance is nothing short of staggering, featuring over 10,000 games across all years and an almost even split with more wins than losses (3179 wins to 3122 losses). The blitz arena is his playground, where he boasts a win rate just shy of 50%, fueled by his "Top Secret" opening arsenal — his opponents never see his next move coming.
Unique Playing Style
Zachary's style can be summed up as "never say die." His comeback rate hits an astonishing 71.36%, and he manages a flawless 100% win rate after losing a piece. But don't mistake him for reckless—his endgame frequency is over 61%, meaning he loves the long slog as much as the fireworks. While some might accuse him of occasional tilt (who doesn’t?), Zachary keeps it to a manageable 16 on the Tilt Factor scale, proving that even when the chips are down, he’s plotting the next big strike.
Psychological Edge & Fun Facts
An early resignation rate of just 3% shows his stubborn streak—he's in it till the very end, except when the coffee wears off. Zachary’s preferred battle times span all hours, but his luck peaks around 8 AM, boasting a 64% win rate—clearly, the morning is his kingdom (or he's just better before caffeine kicks in).
Memorable Moments & Rivalries
Having racked up 955 wins and 886 losses in rapid and a near even split with 3179 wins and 3122 losses in blitz, Zachary's resilience is legendary. His longest winning streak? A dazzling 14 games, a feat that would make even grandmasters raise an eyebrow. When going head-to-head, players like jaxsaw27 have felt his pressure most often — 31 encounters and counting.
