Ashton HUSCROFT (Ashdash0101)

Ashton HUSCROFT, known online as Ashdash0101, is a chess enthusiast whose journey through the 64 squares is as colorful as it is challenging. With a peak rapid rating of 646 achieved in early 2023, Ashton has experienced the highs of victory and the humbling lessons of defeat — often more of the latter.

Playing Style & Stats

Ashton’s games tend to be marathons rather than sprints, boasting an average of 62.5 moves per win and about 57.5 moves per loss. This is a player who believes in the drama of the endgame, participating in nearly two-thirds of games to the bitter finish.
Despite a tough track record with a rapid record of 4 wins to 19 losses, this warrior of pawns keeps fighting on, refusing to resign early more than 19% of the time — because every piece deserves a chance to dance on the board.

Favorite Openings (and quirks)

• Bird’s Opening: Ashton can proudly say 100% win rate here — though just from one game. An auspicious start!
• King’s Pawn Opening: The safer and more traditional choice, with a modest 33% win rate.
• Top Secret: A mysterious favorite, with 7 games played and enough losses to keep spectators guessing.

Tactical Profile

Ashton has a 75% comeback rate after falling behind, showing strong resilience—but win rate after losing a piece remains a humble 11.54%. In other words, losing a piece might be an excuse for a rage quit, but Ashton tends to fight back anyway.

Psychological Insight

With a tilt factor of 9, Ashton knows just how frustrating chess can be — yet the best time to strike is at 1 AM, a mysterious hour when the pieces seemingly obey their commands better. Maybe it’s the magic of late-night caffeine or the ghosts of chess legends past whispering strategy.

Memorable Moments

The latest triumph came in a quirky game using the King's Pawn Opening versus butterflyashi, where Ashton’s bold response with 1...b5 threw opponents off balance for a quick win.
The toughest battles often come against the same opponent butterflyashi, against whom Ashton has faced 10 matches with no wins yet—proof that practice indeed makes perfect… someday.
