Castor Codias (castorcd) - The Chess Adventurer
Meet Castor Codias, a rapidly evolving chess enthusiast whose journey through the realms of rapid, blitz, bullet, and daily chess is nothing short of adventurous. Starting out with a modest rapid rating of around 500 in 2021, Castor has steadily climbed the ladder, peaking at an impressive 768 in rapid by 2024 and maintaining a respectable 676 in 2025. Not bad for someone who probably loses track of time while pondering whether to sacrifice a knight or just quietly resign!
Castor’s playing style is a curious mix of patience and grit. With an average of 57 moves per win and a slightly longer struggle in losses (over 61 moves), they clearly enjoy a tactical battle that often stretches into long endgames—the type where you might need a snack and a bathroom break. Remarkably, after losing a piece, Castor bounces back with a perfect 100% win rate, proving that giving up material is just another part of the plan... or blind luck.
When it comes to time controls, Castor has dipped toes in every pond. Although bullet games are fewer and far between lately, their bullet rating was a sharp 982 in 2022, showing lightning-fast reflexes that would scare even the nimblest pawns. Daily games? Simply flawless, with a 100% win rate in the small sample played—talk about slow and steady!
Psychological resilience is another ace up Castor’s sleeve. Despite a tilt factor of 11 (because even chess players have bad days), their comeback rate is an astonishing 66%, showing an uncanny ability to turn a losing position into victory. Opponents beware: Castor’s “Top Secret” opening preparation (with over 6700 rapid games) keeps adversaries guessing, and Castor’s record against recent opponents is a mix of perfect sweeps and the occasional hiccup.
Off the board, one wonders if Castor also dramatically resigns social plans when the chess mood strikes or perhaps attacks the coffee table like a well-planned attack on the king. One thing's for sure—if Castor’s life were a game, it’d be filled with brilliant sacrifices, unexpected twists, and a lot of fun.
In short: A chess player who proves it's not just about winning but how creatively you lose, recover, and keep the game (and the humor) alive!
