Player Profile: baseballdodger (aka P S)

Once a humble blitz novice with a rating barely scraping the 400s in 2012, baseballdodger has blossomed into a force to be reckoned with on the speed chess circuit. From his early days of a paltry 464 Blitz rating, P S powered through a staggering 10,000+ Bullet games, only to emerge with a win-loss record so close it could rival any nail-biting thriller: 9772 wins to 9696 losses. Talk about a grind!

Rating Highlights & Statistics

• Peak Blitz rating of 1603 (November 2022) – clearly, the knights have sharpened their hooks.
• Peak Bullet rating of 1689 (July 2023) – lightning-fast tactics and reflexes turn pawns to heroes.
• Steady progression from rinky-dink ratings to mid-1500s in Bullet and steady 1400+ in Blitz, showing consistency and persistence.

Style of Play

Blessed with a tactical comeback rate of 81.14%, baseballdodger turns games around like a pro sitcom plot twist. When down a piece, expect him to rally fiercely with a win rate close to 45%—not bad for someone who seems to enjoy a good challenge! However, beware the tilt factor of 14; even grandmasters have their off days.

Our player embraces the endgame with gusto, boasting a high 73.7% frequency of reaching endgames. Patience is key – and sometimes a fortress of rook and bishop is just the place to meditate until the victory slip in.

Favorite Openings

Mystery suits him well, with a majority of games played under the “Unknown Opening” umbrella – it's the chess equivalent of that one friend who never reveals their secret weapon until it’s checkmate.
Notable secret weapons include the Englund Gambit, French Defense Steinitz Attack, and a sly admiration for the Owens Defense. Not the crowd favorites, but hey, unconventional often wins the prize!

Recent Battles

In a recent showdown against an2nypz, baseballdodger showcased his mettle with a victory secured on the clock in a thrilling 52-move endgame ballet.
But every hero has their kryptonite. The latest losses were hard-fought, including a painful resignation against elefante22 and a checkmate handed by GiygasJP, proving that even chess warriors aren’t immune to the occasional stumble.

Personality Tidbit

With a slightly skewed sense of timing (he performs best around 7 AM, when most humans are still trying to remember their passwords), and a playful streak for early resignation at only 2.12%, P S is less likely to throw in the towel prematurely and more likely to plot a comeback that will make his opponent question their life choices.

Summary

If you’re looking for a chess partner who combines persistence, tactical gambits reminiscent of a mad scientist, and the resilience of a knockout champ, baseballdodger is your guy. Whether it’s blitzing, bullet, or generally causing mayhem on the 64 squares, P S keeps it unpredictable, competitive, and a whole lot of fun.
