Profile: carlos-arthur
Meet carlos-arthur, a chess enthusiast whose journey on the 64 squares is as thrilling as a rollercoaster ride with just a hint of comedy. From humble beginnings struggling with ratings barely nudging a break-even to climbing steadily to a respectable peak rapid rating of 545 in early 2025, carlos-arthur has demonstrated both grit and a propensity for dramatic comebacks.
Chess Odyssey
Since 2024, carlos-arthur has played nearly 1,300 rapid games with a nearly equal tally of wins and losses (667 wins and 666 defeats). This blazing rapid pace proves a true warrior who’s never fazed by defeat but just gets back on the horse—or the knight. Perhaps the statistics hint at a secret pastime: learning how to graciously lose before claiming sweet victory!
In blitz and bullet, carlos-arthur shines dimmer but refuses to be underestimated—max blitz and bullet ratings stand at 469 and 230 respectively. The strategic approach is methodical, with an average winning game lasting about 44 moves, showing patience, but sometimes impatience creeps in with an 18% early resignation rate.
Playing Style & Psychological Traits
If chess were a movie, carlos-arthur would be the underdog hero who loves nail-biting suspense: boasting a comeback rate close to 60% and a knack for winning even after losing material (43% of the time). However, this rollercoaster player is not immune to the tilt – an 18% tilt factor reminds us even the toughest players have moments of existential chess crises (“Why did I blunder that pawn?!”).
As a white player, carlos-arthur has a slight edge with a 49% win rate versus 47% with black, preferring to test waters with some mystery "Unknown Openings" and a quirky affection for the Top Secret opening—perhaps just to confuse opponents and add some spice!
Time & Tendencies
Early morning games around 9 AM seem to be carlos-arthur’s prime time, boasting up to 64% win rate during that golden hour—who said chess champions can’t be morning people? Weekend battles are slightly more favorable, with Sunday wins hitting just over 50%, perhaps thanks to extra caffeine or fewer distractions.
