Rating Highlights

Playing Style & Stats

Known for an impressive 79.13% comeback rate after unfavorable situations, afrostar73u exhibits resilience rarely seen outside epic movie sequels. Their average game length hovers around 52 moves, indicating a preference for patience over panic—unless there's a sudden blunder that forces a quick resignation (which happens about 7% of the time, strictly keeping things human).

They enjoy holding the white pieces slightly more than black, boasting a win rate of 52.93% with White and 44.49% with Black. Their favorite time of day to outwit opponents? The mysterious early morning hours around 4 AM—because nothing says "checkmate" like a little moonlight inspiration.

Opening Preferences

Whether it’s the Scandinavian Defense or the Kings Pawn Opening, afrostar73u loves to mix it up. In rapid games, the Scandinavian Defense shines with over a 52% win rate – a reliable go-to for unsettling opponents early on. The opening repertoire also features some adventurous dives into the Scotch Game and occasionally braving the Caro Kann in blitz (with varying success).

Recent Adventures on the Board

The latest victory was a masterpiece of tactical precision, sealing a checkmate against kokshibo-09 in just 40 moves during a Four Knights Game. The game was a riveting mix of positional play and opportunistic strikes, concluding with afrostar73u's rook delivering a perfect mate. Of course, every hero has an off day, and a recent loss came by checkmate to shake-10, reminding us all that even chess warriors have their kryptonite.

Opponent Anecdotes & Streaks

With an impressive longest winning streak of 10 games and a current winning streak of 3, afrostar73u can bask in small streaky glory. Their record against frequent rivals like e10bigboy (85.7% win rate) showcases their competitive spirit, while encounters with players like radhe12354 (just 40%) hint at some challenging rivals yet to be conquered.

Psychological Quirks

Despite being a resilient fighter, afrostar73u shows a tilt factor of 11, proving they’re human after all—not a cold, calculating supercomputer (yet). Their ability to bounce back after losing a piece with a nearly 45% win rate keeps games exciting, sometimes till the very end.


Whether you’re looking for a rapid chess tactician, a blitz battler, or just someone to share a laugh with over a game (perhaps after a surprising opening choice), afrostar73u brings all that and more to the chess arena. Watch this space – the star is still rising!
