Profile Summary: Begginer_78

Meet Begginer_78, a chess enthusiast whose journey began with enthusiasm and plenty of puzzling pawn moves. With a peak Rapid rating of 978 in April 2025, this player embodies the true spirit of a beginner: full of hope, occasional brilliance, and the occasional spectacular blunder (sometimes both in the same game!).

Rapid games have been a rollercoaster—between April and June 2025, Begginer_78 fought through 87 rapid games, securing 27 wins but facing more losses than they’d like (57 to be exact). Blitz seems to be their secret weapon, boasting a flawless 7-0 win record recently and a peak rating of 455. Bullet chess, on the other hand, is a bit of a wild ride, with more losses than wins, but hey, everyone’s gotta start somewhere!

A crafty opening strategist, Begginer_78 shows a fondness for the King's Pawn Opening where they've earned a respectable ~55% win rate in Rapid. They also dabble in the Queen's Pawn Chigorin Variation, showing some promise with two wins out of three games.

Though the losses stack up, our hero has a redemption rate worth applauding: a comeback rate of over 70%! Even after losing pieces, Begginer_78 manages to win about 30% of those scrappy battles, proving that resilience is more than just a buzzword.

When not plotting checkmates, Begginer_78 enjoys the thrill of a good streak — their longest winning streak reached an impressive 9 games. Currently, the learning curve continues with a three-game losing streak, but chess history assures us that every grandmaster once had their “pawn for thought” moments.

Favorite time to play? Definitely around 8 PM, when lightning-fast tactical strikes are at their best. Unfortunately, the dreaded tilt shows up a bit (tilt factor of 6), but every great player knows that even the best have off days.
