Profile: alderberg

Alderberg is a rapid chess enthusiast with a personality as dynamic as their rating swings. With a peak rapid rating of 298 achieved in May 2025, they have shown a remarkable ability to both climb the leaderboard and bounce back from setbacks. With over 200 rapid games under their belt, alderberg boasts a win record just above 50%, with a penchant for spirited battles that often go the distance—averaging over 43 moves per win!

Playing Style & Stats

Not one to give up easily, alderberg's comeback rate stands at an impressive 62%, clearly demonstrating their fighting spirit when down. Their blade is sharpest in openings like the Nimzowitsch Defense and Kings Pawn Opening Kings Knight Variation, where they enjoy win rates exceeding 60%. However, the Indian Game has proven a tougher nut to crack with a modest 27% success rate—proof that even the best have their kryptonite.

A lover of complexity and tactical flair, alderberg isn’t afraid to experiment, but early resignations occur in about 15% of games—sometimes it’s better to fold than face the wrath of a sneaky checkmate. Speaking of checkmates, nearly 57 victories came by finishing off opponents with style, revealing a flair for the dramatic in the final moments.

Psychological Profile

Some might say alderberg has a healthy attitude towards losses, with a low tilt factor of 5, but don’t be fooled—this player thrives in the wee hours, boasting a 100% win rate at 3 AM, possibly powered by midnight caffeine or sheer stubbornness. Tuesdays and evenings around 9-10 PM appear to be their prime time, with win percentages comfortably above 60%.

Notable Games & Rivalries

Recent battles include a notable victory against “zaid123cueto,” clinched by a strategic resignation from the opponent, and a stylish checkmate win over “khaIeddd” showcasing quick tactical precision. Of course, victories are balanced by learning experiences, and “samwellthebrain” currently holds one of the tougher recent wins against alderberg, reminding us all that chess is a humbling game.

Fun Fact

While alderberg reigns supreme in rapid chess, their bullet chess prowess is still in its infancy—maxing out at a modest 100 rating with just a single bullet match played. Seems like slow and steady (or at least, moderately paced) wins the race for this player!

All in all, alderberg is a tenacious rapid combatant, unafraid to mix daring openings with nimble endgame skills, and always ready for the next challenge—preferably after a strong cup of coffee and a good night's sleep.
