Meet bigspoon22, the chess enthusiast whose rating history reads like a gripping novel full of ups, downs, and the occasional checkmate plot twist. Peaking at a Daily rating of 1393 back in March 2020, this player has steadily navigated the wild seas of online chess with fierce determination — and a spoonful of humor.

With a current Blitz max rating of 972 achieved in early 2023, bigspoon22 has dabbled equally in Daily and Blitz formats, proving versatility across different time controls — although the occasional losing streak (a harrowing 10-game skid) reminds us that even the bravest knights sometimes lose their way.

Playing Style & Stats

• A patient strategist who sticks it out in the endgame often – close to 75% endgame frequency.
• Known for an impressive comeback rate of 78.1%, indicating a resilient spirit and an unwillingness to surrender without a fight.
• Prefers opening strategies under wraps, as indicated by the mysterious "Top Secret" opening with over 200 daily games played.
• Owns a modest but respectable Daily win rate hovering around 44% and a Blitz win rate of nearly 32% — enough to keep opponents on their toes.
• Comfortable both as White (43.75% wins) and Black (39.84% wins), although White pieces seem to be their secret weapon.

Fun Facts

Bigspoon22 has a curious preference for playing at 10 AM, where their winning rate reaches a cozy 100% in some hours — apparently, early birds really do catch the chess worm! But beware evenings — win rates can vary, and 7 AM games apparently are no cause for celebration yet (0% win rate there so far).

When facing familiar opponents, bigspoon22 has a mixed record but can boast perfect win rates against a few (like sirnavigator and fireball67) — proof that bigspoon22 knows how to keep their spoon shiny when it counts.

Signature Victory Highlight

Among recent triumphs was a swift and decisive checkmate victory on January 29, 2023, against AJ12456, executed with cunning opening moves in the Barnes Opening and wrapped up in just 22 moves.
