Anderson

Andersonsc1903 - The Knight of Comebacks

Once a humble bullet-warrior with a rating fluctuating between "could-be-better" and "almost-tactical," Anderson has transformed into a rapid-fire maestro dominating the online chess battlefield. With a peak blitz rating soaring up to 2432 and rapid rating cresting at 2347, he’s more than just a casual player—he’s a relentless foe you don’t want to wake up late at night.

Known for his unbelievable comeback rate of 80.21%, Anderson refuses to concede defeat without a dazzling display of resilience. Those pawns may drop, but these are just refueling points for this resilient gladiator. Beware when he’s a piece down - he’s only 46.48% likely to lose, not bad for a chess player who’s clearly got nerves of steel.

Playing Style

• Early Resignation Rate: A tiny 1.87%, because giving up? Not in this house.
• Endgame Frequency: Plays endgames almost 66% of the time – true sign of a chess gladiator.
• Average Moves per Win: A respectable 69 (plenty of opportunity for drama!).
• Average Moves per Loss: A stubborn 60 – Anderson fights till the bitter end.
• Avg. First Capture Move: Day 6 – don’t expect early captures without a little suspense.

He struts the board in rapid games but has a taste for the bullet too. Indeed, with nearly 20,000 games streamed across time controls, few can claim the kind of dedication Anderson brings to every check and checkmate.

signature opening?

There might be a bit of a secrecy about Anderson's favorite openings: the "Top Secret" (maybe he’s hiding a few traps?), but he occasionally shows preference for the Caro Kann Defense variations and the Slav Defense Exchange Variation, where he holds a solid 60% win rate for the latter. Plus, his Budapest Gambit and King's Indian entries suggest he’s no stranger to complicated, dynamic play.

Notable Stats

• Total Wins: Over 12,390 (across all time controls) – sorry opponents, hope you like losing!
• Longest Winning Streak: A titillating 16 games – the stuff of legends (or at least, a nice week).
• Longest Losing Streak: A disheartening 25 games – proof even kings have their off days.
• Rated vs Casual Win Difference: Mildly annoyed at casuals, down by 6.17%.
