Profile Summary: C B (CDB1966)
Meet C B, a chess warrior with a rating history that reads like a real-life game of ups and downs – a rollercoaster of pawns, pieces, and plenty of grit. While the numbers may not scream grandmaster, the dedication certainly does, with thousands of rapid games played and a resilient mindset that refuses to quit.
Starting in 2021 with a rapid rating just over 1000, C B has dived headfirst into the chess fray. Despite some rough patches—like that stunning plummet to a 265 rating in bullet chess during 2022—the journey is marked by persistence. With more than 3,000 rapid games played by 2023, the wins and losses are almost neck-and-neck, proving that every battle fought adds a move to the strategic mind.
When it comes to openings, Queens Pawn and King’s Pawn Openings are C B’s playground, with near 50% win rates. Special mention goes to the Englund Gambit in rapid chess—where C B seems to turn the tables, winning over half the battles despite its notorious reputation. Clearly, C B likes their openings like their coffee: bold and a little unpredictable.
By day (and night), C B has a mixed bag of success across all time slots—cranking a slight edge at noon and the early morning hours but apparently less so during the late evening chess marathons. A tilt factor of 10 suggests a calm demeanor; no dramatic rage quits here, just a steady hand battling through thick and thin.
C B's style is a graceful dance of resilience: a 59% comeback rate, a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece (talk about resourcefulness!), and a surprisingly low early resignation rate (about 6%). Endgames make up over half of their battles, with winning games generally quicker than losing ones, hinting at a player who fights to the very last move.
Off the board, C B seems to favor opponents they've faced repeatedly, even if some matchups haven't gone their way (we know you’re looking at you, sb1520l5). But for every tough rival, there are plenty more with near-perfect win rates—like milkiia, yarqosaur, and a handful of others—earning C B a reputation as an opponent you don't want to underestimate.
In short, C B is the embodiment of passion in the chess world: not the flashiest star or the highest-rated titan, but a devoted player with a quirky love for gambits and comebacks. When life gives them falls in rating, C B’s response is always a sly grin, a fresh move, and the next game.
