Profile Summary: brunostrn
Meet brunostrn, a tenacious chess combatant known for a rollercoaster ride of ratings and unforgettable battles on the 64 squares. While not quite a grandmaster, brunostrn’s journey through Bullet, Blitz, Rapid, and Daily play modes shows a fierce competitor who’s always learning — and occasionally spectacularly blundering.
Starting in late 2024, brunostrn’s peak Bullet rating reached a modest 341, with some ups and downs that would make even a Swiss watch jealous. The Rapid games, however, are where the real fireworks happen, boasting an impressive peak rating of 604 by mid-2025 — almost rivaling the grandmaster of coffee breaks! Blitz and Daily formats have their moments too, with noteworthy peak scores of 383 and a solid 706 respectively, hinting at strategic patience and cunning outside the frantic rapid-fire games.
With over 780 wins in Bullet and nearly 350 in Rapid, there’s no shortage of thrilling clashes or comeback tales. Speaking of comebacks, brunostrn’s tactical awareness is commendable, boasting a remarkable 70% comeback rate after going down in position, proving that giving up isn’t in their dictionary — although the 10% early resignation rate suggests they can also be brutally pragmatic.
