Profile Summary: bastosXVII

Meet bastosXVII, a daring rapid chess player who’s not afraid to dive into the deep end of the board, sometimes with a splash and sometimes with a graceful... surrender. With a peak rapid rating just shy of 1000 in 2024, bastosXVII’s journey through the 64 squares has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride, complete with highs, lows, and the occasional sideways loop.

Despite a shaky start and a rating dip to the mid-500s, bastosXVII has displayed impressive resilience, boasting a comeback rate of over 94% and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece. If chess were a movie, bastosXVII would be the underdog who never quits – even if sometimes that means resigning early about 9% of the time.

Known for a patient endgame style, with nearly 67% of games going all the way to the final moves, bastosXVII surely enjoys the drama of a long battle, averaging over 73 moves per win. However, early games can be a little spicy, reflected in fewer wins with the black pieces (around 30%) compared to an even 50% with white.

When it comes to opening strategies, bastosXVII’s secret weapon is an enigmatic “Top Secret” approach, played 43 times with a respectable 39.5% win rate—perhaps a hint that mystery keeps opponents on their toes.

On the psychological front, a modest tilt factor of 4 suggests bastosXVII mostly keeps cool, although occasional frustration might show when the board doesn’t cooperate. Matches played on Mondays tend to be their lucky charm, winning nearly 63% of such battles, and evening games (especially around 12 PM, 15 PM, and 21 PM) see a striking 100% win rate, proving that bastosXVII knows when to bring their A-game.

Though bastosXVII’s record against some opponents is mixed, with perfect wins against a few and tough losses against others, their spirit remains unbroken, always ready for the next match—your move!
