Meet ccm3: The Relentless Caro Kann Conqueror
Once a humble enthusiast rated around 1300 in bullet chess back in 2011, ccm3 has galloped through the ranks to become a formidable threat on the virtual chessboard with a peak bullet rating soaring above 2000 in 2025. With a Blitz peak of over 2030 and a Rapid peak cresting above 2017, ccm3 clearly has a talent for turning knights and pawns into victory dances.
A Journey Through the Ranks
ccm3's chess journey reads like a gripping novel — full of ups, downs, and enough strategic twists to keep Magnus Carlsen on his toes. From the slow and steady improvements after a quiet 2011 to a chess renaissance starting 2021, every move and every rating milestone shows a player hungry to win (and occasionally to graciously resign).
Signature Style: The Caro Kann Whisperer
Have you ever met someone who seems telepathic with a chess opening? For ccm3, that’s the Caro Kann Defense. It's the bread and butter of their bullet and blitz repertoire, boasting a nearly 50% win rate after hundreds of games. Armed with the Two Knights Attack and the Exchange Variation, ccm3 often leaves opponents scratching their heads — or sometimes just resigning.
Victory and Defeat, with a Dash of Humor
With over 2,300 bullet wins and close to as many losses, ccm3 plays the gritty, no-quit type of chess. The player is no stranger to thrilling comebacks (an impressive 85% comeback rate) and somehow manages to keep the tilt factor low despite the tension of fast-paced games. And with a longest winning streak of 14 games, one could say when ccm3 catches fire, even flame-throwers look tame.
Notable Recent Battles
In a recent bullet game dated May 12, 2025, ccm3 showcased nerves of steel and tactical brilliance, edging out cristiangusta in a duel featuring the Caro Kann Defense: Two Knights Attack — won by resignation in a mere 13 moves.
