Meet boringboring, a rapid chess enthusiast whose eloquence on the board is anything but boring. Since embarking on the chess journey in 2011, boringboring has clocked thousands of games across all time controls, steadily climbing the rating ladder with dedication and a hint of strategic mischief.

Early Career

Starting out with a Rapid rating of 1331 back in December 2011, this player quickly picked up speed, surging to highs near 1800 by early 2012. A single game in 2012 at a 1795 peak foreshadowed the grind ahead, peppered with wins, losses, and draws that forged a resilient competitor.

Steady Improvement and Style

With an impressive comeback rate of 81%, they thrive when the going gets tough, refusing to bow out early (reflected by a sharp focus despite an early resignation rate of just 0.4%). Noticeably, the player’s best time to play is around the charming hour of 10:00 (likely AM), when their tactical awareness apparently peaks.

Favorite Openings

While the precise repertoire remains a Top Secret, their success in both Rapid and Blitz (win rates hovering around 46-49%) reveals a deep understanding of the game’s nuances. That secrecy may just be the secret weapon!

Peaks, Streaks, and Highlights

Over the years, boringboring achieved a career peak Rapid rating of 2426 in early 2024—a number that few casual players dream of reaching. Their Blitz peak didn’t disappoint either, with a high of 2180 in mid-2021. The Bullet rating is more modest but still respectable, topping out at 1482 recently.

Keeping it interesting, their longest winning streak stands at a fierce 23 games. The current streak? A fresh 2-game winning run, with no losses in sight—because who likes a losing streak?

Performance and Opponent Records
