Profile Summary: André Steyer

Meet André Steyer, a chess enthusiast whose rapid rating is often the envy of casual opponents and the curiosity of intense competitors alike. With a rapid peak rating exceeding 1300 in 2025, André has demonstrated a flair for the classic Italian and Giuoco Piano openings, winning more than half his rapid games with these trusted friends.

Though his blitz rating swings like a tempest on the board—climbing as high as 922 before settling near the 440 mark—he continues to brave the ticking clock with the courage of a knight galloping into battle. Perhaps timing pressure is his arch-nemesis, but hey, even superheroes have their kryptonite.

Daily chess is where André shines calmly, boasting a steady rating in the 1200s and proving he’s no stranger to checkmates that don’t involve panic moves. His Bullet chess adventures, however, are less victorious but no less valiant—a single battle at 1007 elo with one loss to remember.

André's style is a curious mix of patience and perseverance: he tends not to give up early, with a mere 3.7% early resignation rate. His games often stride into the endgame with an eye on subtle tactics, winning on average after 57 moves—just the right amount of time to brew a good cup of coffee.

Known for an extraordinary comeback rate of 67%, André can snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, especially after losing a piece—he's undefeated in such scrambles, turning setbacks into checkmate spectacles. A tilt factor of 10 suggests he keeps his cool well, though every player has their off days.

Off the board, André’s opponents have discovered a quirky fact: some players have a 100% defeat rate against him, while others leave with smiles after a hard-fought win. This spectrum only adds flavor to his chess journey.

In short, André Steyer is a passionate and resilient player, blending strategic patience with tactical wizardry, making every game a unique chapter in his ever-evolving chess story.
