Profile: antoinec27

Meet antoinec27, a tenacious chess adventurer navigating the battlefield of pawns and kings with a mischievous flair. With a Peak Rapid rating north of 1000 (specifically 1022, achieved in March 2025), and a blitz peak rating of 636, Antoine proves that dedication beats despair—even if the scoreboard sometimes tells a different story.

Playing Style & Strengths

Antoine favors the Rapid pace, a format where calculation and instinct blend just right. Known for an average of about 55 moves in wins, they patiently wrangle their way through middlegame skirmishes, and their endgame frequency stands impressively at nearly 43%, showing a love for the long fight.

Their favorite openings tell a story of a classic and flexible approach: the King’s Pawn Opening - Leonardis Variation results in a robust 80% win rate in rapid games, while the King’s Fianchetto Opening boasts a perfect 100%. Notably, the Queens Pawn Chigorin variation remains a puzzle with some struggles but also moments of brilliance.

Battle Scars & Triumphs

Antoine wears their scars like badges. With a longest losing streak hitting an eye-watering 15 games, they might occasionally suffer an existential crisis mid-match—but their comeback rate of 67% tells us this player does not give up without a fight.

Their record shows gritty fightbacks and some glorious wins, such as a recent stylish victory by resignation over theand1_974, showcasing tactical patience and precision:

1. e4 e5 2. d3 c5 3. Nf3 d6 4. Nc3 f5 5. b3 fxe4 6. dxe4 Bg4 7. Be2 Nf6 8. Bb2 Nc6 9. O-O b5 10. Nxb5 Nxe4 ...
  

Favorite Opponents

Antoine has tangled most often with rubinsj2 (3 games, winning once), but has more success against others like theand1_974, adam_oumzil, and eddytheeagl, who sadly have tasted more defeat than victory facing Antoine.

Quirks & Quips

• Average first capture happens around move 6—perhaps a sign of a cautious predator.
• Average games won in 55 moves, lost slightly quicker at 49 moves, proving sometimes the best defense is a slow retreat.
• Tilt factor is 15% — yes, they get frustrated, but not enough to throw the board... yet.
• Antoine’s best time to strike? 11:00 AM. Early birds catch the bishops!

Did You Know?

Despite the ups and downs, Antoine once scored an undefeated 100% win rate in King’s Pawn Opening - King's Knight Variation in blitz. A small sweat but mighty spark!

Fun Fact

Antoine’s opening repertoire spans from classic mainlines like the Petrov's Defense (though with less luck), to cheeky gambits like the Englund Gambit, where they won their sole battle. Talk about versatility!

In all, antoinec27 is the player who tests patience, both theirs and their opponents’, charging headfirst into tactical chaos or grinding out slow, strategic battles. Always ready to bounce back, they’re the kind of competitor who reminds us: chess is a marathon, not a sprint... even if sometimes it feels more like a tumble down the rabbit hole.
