Player Profile: bret1022

Meet bret1022, a rapid chess maestro whose journey on the 64 squares is as unpredictable as that sneaky Pirc Defense they play religiously. With a lifetime rapid rating swinging between a lofty 945 in 2024 down to a humbled 382 and climbing back to 403 in 2025, bret1022 is nothing if not a fierce competitor who never quite gives up — even if their rating does a little dance.

Over 5,000 rapid games later (yes, that’s not a typo!), this player has amassed nearly as many wins (2,518) as losses (2,558)—but hey, who’s counting when you have fun? And with a current winning streak of 6 and a record-long streak of 14, opponents might want to think twice before challenging them, especially since bret1022 clearly bounces back stronger than a rook on an open file thanks to a soaring 57% comeback rate!

Opening Repertoire

If openings were a buffet, bret1022 would be the patron who tries a bit of everything — with special love for the Pirc Defense (nearly 1,200 games), confident in securing around a 46% win rate there. But don’t underestimate the Queen’s Pawn Opening, Chigorin Variation, where they actually taste sweet victory 53% of the time. Some unconventional choices like the Van t Kruijs Opening show a quirky side with a delicious 59% win rate — because why not keep the opponents guessing?

Playing Style & Personality

Known for a strategic mind and patience, bret1022 averages about 45 moves in wins, proving they love a good, long chess marathon, but when the going gets tough, they quit early about 19% of the time — because even grandmasters have those 'Not Today' moments. With a white win rate slightly edging out black (49.44% vs. 48.18%) and a mastery of endgames, this player shows grit and loves a good challenge.

Psychologically? 17% tilt factor indicates bret1022 sometimes lets frustrations slip in, but we forgive them, as they make it up with a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece — talk about resilience! Their games often peak in the early morning hours, boasting a win rate high as 58% at 7 AM, which means coffee + pawns = a winning formula.

Fun Facts

  • Favorite victim username combo: wins 100% against “bhaw2192", "luck-123", and “shotobayaku” (sorry folks!).
  • Enjoys the psychological warfare — known for a comeback rate that would make even the toughest grandmasters blink twice.
  • Considered a tactical Houdini, turning losing positions into wins with 100% success after losing a piece.

In a nutshell, bret1022 is the kind of player you want on your team or on your opponent list — just be ready for a chess rollercoaster with unexpected twists, solid endgames, and a dash of humor (and early resignations). So next time you see bret1022 logging in, maybe think twice before accepting that game invite — or prepare for a battle full of surprises.
