About aeropops
Meet aeropops, a tenacious explorer of the 64 squares who approaches chess with a mix of determination, resilience, and a pinch of humor.

Playing Style & Strengths
aeropops isn’t just about fast moves; with an average of over 51 moves per win in Rapid, they savor a good, strategic game cooked slowly over many moves. Their endgame skills shine almost half the time they play, making them a worthy opponent when the board quiets down. However, if a piece gets lost, don't count aeropops out — with a comeback rate soaring over 63%, they're the classic underdog who refuses to surrender early.
Tactical Tidbits & Quirks
Early resignations are rare (just 3.9%), because aeropops believes every lost battle might wield a secret chance. The tilt factor of 9 confirms they’re human — a few tough losses here and there, but nothing that a good night's sleep can't fix. Beware playing at 22:00, their statistically best time of day to pounce with precision and tactical flair.
Opening Repertoire Favorites
- Rapid: Scandinavian Defense (Win Rate ~58%), and the Queens Pawn Opening with its Chigorin flair.

- Bullet: Loves the sharp and spicy Queens Pawn Accelerated London System.
