Profile Summary: amclintonsean

Meet amclintonsean, a chess player whose journey through the 64 squares resembles a thrilling saga filled with rapid rises, fierce battles, and occasional dramatic defeats — all with a touch of tenacity and a dash of unpredictability.

Starting with a humble blitz rating of 434 in late 2023, amclintonsean has soared to an impressive peak blitz rating of 930 by January 2025. Not one to shy away from fast-paced games, this player’s blitz career boasts over 1,592 games, almost an equal number of wins and losses, and a competitive spirit that refuses to fade. The daily chess adventures tell another story: a peak rating of 1,118 and a knack for steady play, while rapid games reveal a solid 912 peak rating in 2025.

Not all battles end in victory, though. Losing streaks can reach up to nine games, yet amclintonsean’s comeback prowess is exceptional, with a remarkable 75.4% success rate recovering from setbacks. This player handles pressure like a champ, rarely tilting (with a tilt factor at a modest 9), and finds their best rhythm around 2 AM — who needs sleep when you have chess?

When it comes to style, amclintonsean prefers to roll the dice and keep opponents guessing: maintaining a long average game length of about 55 moves, frequently embracing endgames, and opting for early resignation in roughly 7% of matches (because, let's face it, sometimes it’s just not your day!). White pieces offer a slight edge in win rate (52%), while black pieces demand resilience, holding a respectable 45.6% win rate.

Opening Moves & Strategies

The repertoire reads like a suspense novel with 'Top Secret' openings dominating the board — nearly 1,500 games in blitz alone, hovering a competitive win rate near 48%. Amclintonsean also dabbles in classical defenses like the Scandinavian Defense (where unbeaten 100% performances in select variations have been recorded), the Queen’s Gambit Declined, and the Giuoco Piano, proving versatility and a taste for historic chess maneuvers.

Memorable Moments

In the latest dramatic episode — a blitz game in June 2025 — amclintonsean displayed masterful patience and technique, queening a pawn on move 41 to secure a hard-fought victory with the Scandinavian Defense, ultimately winning by opponent resignation. The resolve to push through till the end has become a hallmark of their games.

The Social Arena

Ever the social competitor, amclintonsean faces a mix of opponents ranging from beloved rivals like magellanp and mr-chandrakant to relatively unknown challengers. With targeted triumphs over numerous players who can never quite crack the code, this player’s win rates against certain opponents hit a perfect 100%. Clearly, some fear the name amclintonsean on the board.

In Sum

Whether battling frenetic bullet games or grinding out wins in daily chess, amclintonsean is a blend of calculated strategy and spirited guts. Not yet a grandmaster, but ever climbing, this player’s chess story is all about passion, resilience, and the relentless quest to turn pawns into queens — all while keeping a smile on their face and maybe a mischievous blunder or two up their sleeve.

Watch out! Because on any given day, amclintonsean could be your next toughest match — or your favorite comeback tale.
