Meet cestoliverm: The Chess Explorer

Once upon a chessboard, a player named cestoliverm emerged—not quite a grandmaster yet, but definitely someone who knows their way around a pawn structure and a cheeky gambit or two.

Rating Rollercoaster

Since their first recorded rapid game in 2023 with a modest rating of 215, cestoliverm’s journey has been nothing short of a rollercoaster in the 2025 season — recently soaring to a rapid peak of 291 and blitz peak at 216. The climb involved quite some ups and downs, including a long losing streak of 9 games (ouch!) and a winning streak maxing out at 5 games, proving persistence is key in this strategic battlefield.

Playing Style & Stats

Known for a risk-taking spirit, cestoliverm has experimented with various openings but shines the brightest when channeling the Englund Gambit and the Pirc Defense Maroczy Defense, boasting win rates of 54.55% and a perfect 100% respectively in those openings. Queens Pawn Opening is their loyal companion too, with nearly half their games played this way.

Despite an early resignation rate of about 7%, our hero makes games last longer than average, averaging nearly 50 moves to win and some grueling 69 moves when they lose — talk about endurance!

Psychological Traits & Quirks

With a tilt factor of 9, cestoliverm is no stranger to letting the pressure weigh in, but they've perfected a comeback rate of over 66%! Plus, their highest victory chances happen when the clock strikes 1 AM — clearly, chess nights are their prime time for brilliance (or caffeine-fueled inspiration).

Memorable Battles

One of their freshest victories was a battle using the Queens Pawn Opening (D00) where they won by resignation after forcing their opponent into a tricky bind — a true testament to their clever positional play. But beware! Their games can be peppered with surprises, as seen in their loss against “katakbirumuda” using the tricky Zukertort Variation. Every match is an adventure!

Opponent Chronicles

Facing opponents like pablo012001 four times and a smattering of others, cestoliverm's win rates vary wildly. Favorite foes include manoelclb (100% win rate) and finnnoottt (also undefeated), while others like katakbirumuda seem to be tough nuts to crack.

In Summary

cestoliverm is the kind of chess player you want at your board if you enjoy dynamic play, occasional gambits, and long tactical battles. Not afraid to try unusual openings and ready to grind through long endgames, they bring grit and a touch of humor to every match. Whether winning or losing, every game is a lesson and an entertaining story in the making!
