Player Profile: 1visc
Meet 1visc, a resilient and steadily improving chess enthusiast who has navigated the intricate battles of the 64 squares with a blend of tactical flair and dogged persistence. Starting with modest Bullet ratings hovering around 375 in late 2023, this player has arduously climbed their way to a peak Bullet rating of 1328 as of April 2025 – a testament to countless blitzkrieg-like duels and the occasional nail-biting comeback.
While Bullet games have been a rollercoaster (1049 wins, 1102 losses, and a few hard-fought draws), 1visc truly shines under Blitz and Rapid time controls. Their Blitz peak soared to 1456 and Rapid to an impressive 1648, where strategic patience and quick calculation skills dance harmoniously. There’s a hint of a perfectionist streak too; the longest winning streak stands proudly at 18 games, balanced by a learning curve evidenced in the longest losing streak of 11 games—because every grandmaster was once a beginner, right?
Playing Style: Known for an early resignation rate as low as 2.08%, 1visc fights until the end, frequently engaging in complex endgames (over 62% of games see endgame battles) and averaging about 62 moves per win—suggesting they enjoy a well-fought contest, not a quick tap-out. When in trouble, 1visc’s comeback rate is a fiery 74.66%, unafraid to turn the tides and flip the board metaphorically.
With a White win rate slightly higher at around 51.38% compared to 45.4% when playing Black, 1visc shows a bit of a preference (or perhaps just luck) wielding the white pieces. Their favorite weapons? The Old Benoni Defense and the Queen’s Pawn Opening Chigorin Variation, which reflect a taste for dynamic and sometimes unpredictable playstyles.
Recent Highlights: In the last few games, 1visc has demonstrated precision and nerves of steel. One recent victory featured a masterful execution of the Old Benoni Defense, culminating in a resignation from the opponent after persistent pressure and tactical strikes. Another was a swift win on time in a Queen’s Pawn Chigorin Gambit battle, showcasing both strategic depth and clock management.
Outside pure stats, 1visc can be described as a gritty battler who doesn't back down — even if sometimes the clock bites back! Their psychological resilience shines with a relatively low tilt factor of 11, implying a calm demeanor despite the inevitable swings of online chess warfare.
For those wondering about peak hours, 1visc's best battlefield is around 10:00 AM, when the mind is sharpest and the pawns align just right. Whether it’s a fast-paced Bullet swarm or a thoughtful Rapid skirmish, 1visc keeps evolving, proving that chess is both a game of skill and a journey of perseverance.
If you face 1visc, expect a rollercoaster of tactical fireworks and endgame duels — and possibly some well-timed resignations from their opponents!
