Player Profile: Aricr2

Welcome to the curious world of Aricr2, a determined rapid chess enthusiast whose journey through the 64 squares has been as dynamic as a knight’s hop and as unpredictable as a queen sacrifice.

Rating Rollercoaster

At their peak, Aricr2 proudly reached a rapid rating of 626 back in August 2024, a start so strong it might make chess engines blink twice. Since then, their rating has fluctuated, settling around the mid-400s mark in recent months. Aricr2’s rating journey is less like a quiet stroll and more like a rollercoaster - thrilling for both player and spectators. With 293 wins, 269 losses, and 49 draws in rapid games, every match is a battle full of learning and excitement.

Opening Repertoire: From Scandinavian to Queens’ Gambits

Aricr2 has a love-hate relationship with the Scandinavian Defense, dabbling extensively in its Mieses-Kotrc Variation with nearly as many wins as losses, showing a persistent spirit. However, their highest winning smile comes from the Pirc Defense Maroczy Defense and the Queen's Pawn Opening Mikenas Defense, boasting win rates above 65%. Clearly, Aricr2 knows how to mix solid openings with a pinch of unpredictability, keeping opponents on their toes.

Playing Style and Tactical Tendencies

With an average game length of roughly 57 moves regardless of outcome, Aricr2 does not shy away from battles that stretch deep into the endgame, engaging in them over half the time. This player’s endgame frequency is a testament to their strategic patience and enduring resilience.

When facing adversity, the comeback rate of 63.48% is a mighty roar that says: "I'm not out until the last piece falls!" Yet, the tilt factor of 7 hints that sometimes, even chess warriors have their off days – who doesn't get a little salty when a sneaky fork ruins the plan?

Clock Management & Psychological Edge

Aricr2's best winning magic seems to happen around 10 AM – possibly fueled by caffeine and fresh brain cells. The player exhibits a moderate early resignation rate of 8.18%, which means they know when to call it quits gracefully but prefer to wrestle their way through most duels.

An interesting quirk: while struggling against rated opponents above their level (losing nearly 80% of those games), Aricr2 absolutely shines against lower-rated foes with an 82% winning rate – proving that everyone loves a good underdog story... until the underdog becomes the champion.

Most Memorable Recent Battles

Among recent victories, a notable win was against mastertedros in May 2025, showcasing excellent positional play in a French Defense that ended with a classic time victory after a tense 30-move tussle.

Losses are part of the journey too; for instance, a tough game against hoodie0328 ended with an early checkmate, a reminder that even the best have their “oops” moments on the board.
