Check mate

Known to their friends (and many bewildered opponents) simply as Check mate, this chess enthusiast has been on a rollercoaster ride across the 64 squares since 2019. With a Rapid rating that’s danced between 780 and an impressive 1324, and a Blitz rating that soared up to 1326 in 2024, Check mate has been putting opponents through the wringer faster than you can say "castle."

Chess Journey

From humble beginnings with 838 Rapid rating points in 2019 – not too shabby for a newbie – to breaking through the 1300 barrier in the Rapid format by 2024, Check mate’s progress is a testament to persistence (and possibly a little luck). Blitz games are where they really shine, juggling thousands of games with a win rate hovering around 48-49%, proving that speed and strategy make quite the lethal combination.

Playing Style & Strengths

  • Endgame enthusiast: A whopping 68.2% frequency in endgames suggests Check mate loves to stretch battles to the wire, relishing the thrill of closing games with precision.
  • Comeback King: An incredible 81.24% comeback rate shows they’re never one to throw in the towel. Losing a piece? No problem – they win 100% of those games afterwards. Talk about tactical resilience!
  • Average game length: Nearly 65 moves whether winning or losing, so endurance and focus must be their middle names.
  • Psychological stamina: Despite a tilt factor of 15 (because hey, who doesn’t get a little heated when your knight is taken?), their rated game performances outshine casual games by 8.73%, proving nerves of steel under pressure.

Record & Rivalries

With over 870 wins in Rapid alone and a nearly equal number of losses, Check mate’s experience is vast. Their most played opponent is brazzybrahtab with 132 grueling encounters – a true narrative of rivalry. Also, Check mate boasts some perfect win records against a slew of players, making simultaneous checkmates a plausible daily occurrence.

Not Just Another Player

Check mate is not just about the serious business though — there’s a hint of humor in each move, a sly grin behind every clever tactic. Player of the day at 3 AM, king of comeback matches, and occasional blunder-master – this chess warrior embraces the game in all its highs and lows.

Whether delivering checkmate or just checking out, one thing’s certain: underestimate them at your own risk, because they might just turn your queen into a pigeon.
