About Andre (Username: arpb2024)

Andre is a rapid chess enthusiast whose journey on the 64 squares is full of ups, downs, and plenty of calculated risks. Starting from a modest rating of 565 in May 2024, Andre has steadily climbed the ranks to touch a personal best of 1256 by April 2025. Although not a grandmaster (yet!), his passion for chess shines through his 2,114 rapid games — that’s right, more battles than a Netflix chess drama!

Playing Style & Personality

Patience is a virtue for Andre, as his average winning game lasts about 57 moves, while losses drag on a bit longer at 64 moves — a sign that he fights fiercely even when the odds are stacked. Andre loves the endgame, with it appearing in nearly 62% of his games, proving that he’s not afraid to get into the nitty-gritty of chess strategy.

Quick to admit defeat sometimes (resigning in about 2.8% of games), but with a remarkable 79% comeback rate, Andre is the kind of player who throws in the towel only to bounce back stronger next time. His tilt factor is reasonable at 9, showing he keeps his cool more often than not, except maybe when the clock strikes 4 a.m., which oddly enough is his “best time to play.” Night owl? Chess warrior? Yes and yes.

Opening Repertoire

Andre's favorite openings are as enigmatic as his username: "Top Secret" is literally his most played opening with 156 games, a balanced choice with about 49% wins — sneaky! Other staples include the King's Pawn Opening and its King's Knight Variation, where his winning rates are above 54%, showcasing both solid fundamentals and aggressive intentions. Behind the scenes, Andre wrestles with the Italian Game and Four Knights Game, sometimes winning and sometimes learning.

Battle Records & Rivalries

Across all rapid games, Andre holds a nearly even scoreline with 1081 wins, 1043 losses, and 60 draws — a fierce competitor who does not shy away from a challenge. His longest winning streak is a proud 10 games, quite the chess streaker, but watch out for his longest losing streak: a humbling 9 games, reminding us even the best face tough days.

Andre's list of opponents reads like a global chess tour, with several frequent foes like sanjy123 and maruf_juraev. He boasts perfect scoring streaks against many usernames, showing he’s no pushover — and terrible luck for those who encounter him at his peak form.

Memorable Games

One of Andre’s recent favorites was a triumphant game on May 30, 2025, where he employed the King's Pawn Opening, King's Knight Variation, winning by resignation in a well-fought duel against sclark991. If chess had Oscars, that game might have nabbed Best Chess Drama.

Off the Board

When not plotting knight forks or queen sacrifices, Andre might be found pondering why “Top Secret” is his top opening — maybe it’s a secret even to him. A mix of resilience, quirky timing, and strategic depth makes Andre not just a player, but a character in the ongoing saga of chess battles.

In sum: Andre is your unpredictable, dedicated, and occasionally night-owl chess friend — someone who proves that every move, like every day, is a fresh chance for checkmate or a lesson learned.
