Profile Summary: bighedted

Meet bighedted, a daring chess player navigating the 64 squares with a mix of ambition, occasional missteps, and moments of brilliance. While their blitz rating dreams hover just above 200 (a peak of 202, recorded on a chilly February evening in 2025), their rapid rating soared dramatically higher — hitting an impressive peak of 667. This keen fluctuation tells a story: rapid chess suits them far better, likely because they enjoy pondering positions a little more between moves. Or maybe their internet connection is just a little more stable then.

Playing Stats & Style

• Games Played: Quite modest — 6 blitz and 5 rapid games recorded in early 2025.
• Win/Loss Records: A whopping 5 losses against 1 win in blitz, and a slightly less harsh 1 win to 4 losses in rapid.
• Longest losing streak? An intimidating 6 consecutive losses. Longest winning streak? A humble 1.
• Endgame fanatic: Bighedted battles fiercely through the endgame, reaching it in nearly 73% of their games.
• Early resignations? Never. Seems they prefer to either fight to the very end or lose on time instead.

Opening Arsenal

Bighedted’s opening repertoire is impressively eclectic, if a bit inconsistent:

• Blitz favorite: King's Pawn Opening with a 50% win rate – perhaps the comfort zone.
• Queen's Pawn and French Defense variations didn’t bode so well, with no wins registered.
• Rapid highlight: The Italian Game is a shining beacon in their rapid play – a proud 100% win rate here (albeit in a single game).
• On the flip side, some rarely played Sicilian and Vienna variations ended up as defeats.

Noteworthy Moments

One of bighedted’s finest hours was on February 12, 2025, when they charmingly checkmated their opponent with a classic Italian Game attack, showing that beneath the rough patchiness lies a spark of tactical acumen. Conversely, their latest attempts sometimes backfired with losses by checkmate or even unsporting timeouts — proving that nerves and the clock are as much adversaries as their opponents.

Personality & Trends

Bighedted is a resilient soul with a tilt factor of 6 — that’s chess-speak for admitting they occasionally get a bit rattled (who doesn’t?). Interestingly, their best playing time seems to be around 8 PM, when their win rate enjoys a modest bump.

Their win rates tell a story too: they often punch above their weight, winning two-thirds of the time against lower-rated foes, but struggle to notch wins once playing stronger opponents.

In Conclusion

Bighedted is the kind of chess adventurer who may not yet dominate the leaderboards but brings passion, perseverance, and perhaps just a smidge of luck to the table. With a style that embraces the grind of the endgame and a willingness to play on without surrender, bighedted reminds us all that chess is as much about the journey — even one peppered with more losses than wins — as the destination.
