Berat Erol (aka Beroo707)
Meet Berat Erol, a passionate and persistently adventurous chess player navigating the war-torn battlegrounds of Rapid, Bullet, Blitz, and Daily games with a pawn in every camp. While the peak Rapid rating of 714 (achieved in March 2023) might not break Grandmaster records, Berat’s dedication to the game speaks volumes through his 301 wins and over 600 rapid battles fought with a sword... err, knight.
Known online as Beroo707, Berat is a fan of the Scandinavian Defense, boasting his best win rates and fierce fights in this solid yet sneaky opening. The Englund Gambit also makes an appearance in his repertoire with a cheeky 63% win rate—because why not throw a curveball when you can! He’s no stranger to the Queen’s Pawn Opening either, playing over 100 games and winning nearly half, proving he can quietly outmaneuver opponents when he wants.
Berat’s style? Equally at ease with victories via checkmate, resignation, or timeout, he shrugs off setbacks — his “comeback rate” is a remarkable 61.5%, showing he’s not just a one-trick pony but a tenacious survivor on the board. With an average of about 52 moves per game, Berat doesn’t believe in rushing; patience is key, even if sometimes the clock ticks dangerously close.
When playing, Berat’s prime time seems to be early mornings (around 6 AM) with a surprising flair for striking back after a lost piece (winning over 40% of such skirmishes). But be careful: an 8-game losing streak once reminded him that even the best minds have off days. Tilt factor? A modest 8, which means he gets a bit frustrated but nothing a cup of coffee can’t fix.
Fun fact: Berat often plays his strongest chess on Thursdays, boasting the highest win rate on that day of the week (almost 56%). Maybe it's the cosmic energy or just regular pizza night fueling the strategy!
