Profile Summary: barelee1

Meet barelee1, a chess enthusiast who treats the 64 squares like a personal playground where victories, defeats, and occasional chaos unfold. With a career spanning numerous rapid, blitz, bullet, and daily games, barelee1’s journey is a masterclass in persistence and unpredictability.

Starting with modest rapid ratings back in 2021 around 213, barelee1 steadily climbed the ladder, topping out at an impressive 540 in 2025. A rapid player who enjoys stirring the pot with openings like the Queen's Pawn Opening Accelerated London System boasting a respectable 62.5% win rate, and the trusty Caro-Kann Defense guiding many winning endgames. It’s safe to say barelee1 doesn't shy away from variety, sprinkling games with moves from the Englund Gambit to the Van't Kruijs Opening, much to the opponents’ puzzlement.

Blitz and bullet ratings tell the tale of a fierce competitor with swings that would make roller coasters jealous. Bullet highs near 1070 in 2021 crashed and burned into the 200s as time went on—but then again, it’s all about the psychology, right? Speaking of which, barelee1's tilt factor stands at 11, proving that even the best occasionally grumble over spilled pawns and missed forks.

Speaking of resilience, barelee1 has mastered the art of comebacks with a stunning 57.4% comeback rate and an impeccable 100% win rate after losing a piece. Yes, if barelee1 loses material, it’s not the end—it's just a new beginning. This tactical tenacity is balanced by a humble 15.5% rate of early resignations, because hey, sometimes it’s better to save the brain cells for the next battle.

When not plotting intricate checkmates, barelee1 shines brightest in the evenings, especially around 22:00 UTC time, boasting a win rate soaring at 65%. Saturday afternoons, however, might be best spent away from the chessboard, with only a 38% win rate there—chess is a demanding friend!
