BeASigFig: The Calculated Contender

Meet BeASigFig, a chess player whose journey is a thrilling rollercoaster of ratings, resilience, and relentless passion for the game. Starting back in 2021 with a modest Rapid rating just shy of 200, this player quickly gained momentum, breaking into the 1100+ club by 2023 and pushing steadily onward to an impressive peak Rapid rating of 1225 in April 2025 — not too shabby for a digital warrior wielding pawns and knights like a true sigfig in the mathematical world!

Playing Style & Personality

BeASigFig's playstyle can best be described as "methodical with a twist of tactical spice." With an average game length pushing nearly 66 moves to win, they patiently grind out victories, proving endurance and strategic depth. Their impressive comeback rate of nearly 77% shows a fighter's heart, bouncing back from adversity with flair, while an early resignation rate of just over 2% means they aren’t one to throw in the towel easily—unless their coffee runs out.

They seem to prefer playing around 7AM, although their peak hours for high win rates are early morning at 7, 8, and 9 AM, where their brain is obviously as sharp as their tactical mind!

• Modern Defense – a flexible favorite, with a steady ~49% win rate in Rapid games.

The Psychological Side
