Profile Summary: bubo_kelo

Meet bubo_kelo, a chess enthusiast whose moves tell a story of perseverance, resilience, and a sharp affection for the Bishop's Opening. Playing mostly rapid games in 2025, bubo_kelo reached a peak rapid rating of 642 in May — a respectable climb for someone who clearly isn’t afraid to dance with both bishops and knights.

Though the bullet rating (peaking at 286) and blitz (459) might suggest a cautious approach to lightning-fast chess, bubo_kelo certainly knows how to play the long game, averaging over 34 moves per win and even more in losses. Their endgame frequency hovers around 30%, indicating an appetite for pushing battles deep into the trenches rather than conceding early.

Playing style quirks:
An early resignation rate of around 14% could mean our player knows when to fold 'em — no point dragging a hopeless position! They sport a comeback rate nearing 40%, showcasing dogged determination to claw back from the brink. However, their win rate after losing a piece is just about 22%, so every piece really counts in their theater of war.

Favored Openings:
The Bishop's Opening is the star here, with a glorious 72.73% win rate over 22 games! Less fortunate are gambits like the Englund and defenses like the Scandinavian, where bubo_kelo hasn't yet cracked the code. Queens Pawn Opening also yields solid results with a two-thirds win clip. Clearly, bishops have bubo_kelo’s back — sometimes literally.

When it comes to winning streaks, bubo_kelo has savored runs of up to five consecutive wins, but enduring players will sympathize with a nine-game losing streak too. Chess, after all, isn't just about trophies — it's about trial and error, and lots of coffee.

Timing is Everything:
Mornings at 7 AM appear to be their magic hour, likely when the chess muse strikes hardest (or before caffeine runs out). Wednesdays and Tuesdays prove to be especially lucky days, brimming with win rates above 40%. Late afternoons are less kind — some hours see win rates dip to zero, but that just adds character.

Memorable Games:
One of bubo_kelo’s finest moments came on June 2, 2025, crushing Jy-Gun by checkmate after a deft execution of the Bishop’s Opening. The game lasted 19 moves — quick, sharp, and decisive.

Despite the ups and downs, bubo_kelo continues to embrace the game’s complexity with aplomb, battling foes from chess.com’s frontlines and carving out their unique niche in the vast world of online chess.

Long live the bishops, the brave sacrifices, and the endless pursuit of the perfect move!
