Player Profile: builders_tea
Meet builders_tea, a chess aficionado who’s brewed up quite a storm on the digital 64 squares since 2016. Starting modestly with a daily rating of 1345, builders_tea rapidly steeped their skills to reach a peak daily rating of 2076 in 2021—a true sign of a player who likes their chess strong and bold!
Known for an aggressive opening style cloaked in mystery (they keep their favorite openings Top Secret), builders_tea has logged over 2,000 daily games with an impressive 51% win rate. These stats say they rarely resign early (early resignation rate: 3.35%), proving a stubborn resistance—if there’s a will, there’s a way (and usually a tactic or two up their sleeve).
Speaking of tactics, their comeback rate is an astonishing 74.1%, and get this: a 100% win rate after losing a piece! Clearly, losing pieces only means the beginning of the battle, not the end. They’re a resilient wizard who thrives in the endgame, playing nearly 70% of their games to the bitter—or glorious—finish.
Style & Stats Highlights
- Daily Play: Peak 2076, with over 1,400 games played in the “Top Secret” daily opening arsenal.
- Rapid Chess: A strong performer with ratings edging near 2,000, showcasing adaptability across time controls.
- Bullet and Blitz: Though less active, bullet performance shines with a max rating over 1650 and blitz boasts a striking 88% win rate in limited games.

- Peak Performance Times: Highest win rates occur early mornings (2-4 AM) where chess magic apparently brews best, and late mornings around noon. For the rest of us mere mortals awake at reasonable hours, their win rate hovers around a solid 50%.
Recent Adventures
In November 2024, builders_tea triumphantly defeated carong165 with a classic Giuoco Piano, securing victory by resignation after a sharp 37-move duel.
