blackdogblackdog: The Unassuming Chess Adventurer
In the vast battlefield of 64 squares, blackdogblackdog prowls quietly — a chess enthusiast whose ratings might not hang in the grandmasters' gallery, but whose passion and resilience make every game a worthy story.
Starting in 2021 with modest blitz, rapid, and bullet ratings (maxing out around 1363 in bullet, no less), blackdogblackdog has danced through the ranks over seasons, showcasing a particular strength in rapid games where they've played over 700 matches with nearly a 47% win rate. A strategic lover of the mysterious "Top Secret" opening, this player keeps their opponents guessing and never reveals all their cards — or moves — at once.
While blitz battles tend to flirt with a 44% win rate and bullet games can feel like a rollercoaster (win rate hovering at 35%), daily matches bring the best out with a delightful 71% slice of victories — proof that patience is a virtue on and off the board.
Known for a solid endgame frequency of 64%, they grind out games long enough to keep you on the edge of your seat, averaging around 65 moves regardless of winning or losing. Not one to fold early, they only resign about 3.5% of games, sometimes even managing to pull off jaw-dropping comebacks
(a staggering 74% comeback rate) and shifting the tides after losing pieces — winning those situations 100% of the time!
Playing mostly in the cozy hours of the evening with peak performance around 9–10 PM and an incredible 100% win rate at 5 AM (clearly a morning wisdom not yet tapped fully), blackdogblackdog’s psychological resilience is notable. Though a tilt factor of 9 suggests a few moments of frustration, this player’s overall rated-versus-casual win difference of 13% hints at a competitive spirit that thrives on challenge.
Besides the numbers, blackdogblackdog’s journey is peppered with fierce rivalries: multiple games against players like tricksforkidsxo (68% win rate) and pankajbagadia (53%) show a steady battler who isn’t afraid of repeating the dance. Yet, some opponents still keep the scoreboard blank (looking at you, sivaashaanth and cts94!), perhaps because even the black dog has a few mysterious shadows.
In summary, blackdogblackdog is not just a player — they’re a quietly tenacious strategist, the kind of opponent who will outlast you, outsmart you, and occasionally remind you why chess is more art than sport. Here’s to the underdog with a black fur coat, always hungry for the next game.
