Andre - The Endgame Maestro with a Twist

Andre, also known in the chess realm as Cetharis, is a bullet and blitz enthusiast who’s been battling on the 64 squares through 2024 and 2025 with relentless passion and a sprinkle of humor. With a peak bullet rating hitting 1505—because who needs classical chess when you have lightning-fast fingers?

Chess Journey & Style

Andre’s approach can be summed up as “endgame or bust,” boasting a remarkable endgame frequency of over 59%. With an average of nearly 51 moves per win, this player shows patience uncommon in fast formats, grinding down opponents with dogged determination. Fun fact: Andre resigns early less than 1% of the time, proving he fights to the bitter end—even when the queen has run off with their rook!

Strengths & Stats

  • Comeback King: A comeback rate of 66.73% means Andre is not just playing chess; they’re rewriting the script mid-game.
  • Win-after-Losing-Piece Wizard: Believe it or not, Andre’s win rate after losing a piece is a flawless 100%—the ultimate underdog story.
  • Longest Winning Streak: Recorded a fearsome streak of 13 wins, enough to make opponents sip an extra coffee before trying again.
  • Black or White? Andre’s slightly better off with the white pieces (38.13% win rate) but holds their own with black too (35.42%).
  • Moves and Grooves: More moves in losses (average ~59) show that Andre gives a good fight before the inevitable fall.

Openings & Opponents

Andre’s opening remains a closely guarded secret, much like the recipe to grandma’s cookies. However, success rates in bullet hover just above 35%, with daily games showing a more smile-worthy 66.7% win rate. Opponents beware: Andre’s recent foes include intriguingly named challengers like pyrobroschi and darth_vader_24.

Quirks & Quips

Andre has an almost zen-like tilt factor of 31, navigating frustrating games with calm... mostly. Plus, the average win rate jumps significantly during certain hours—especially around midnight and early mornings—suggesting that Andre might be a nocturnal tactical genius or just really likes playing chess when the rest of the world is asleep.

In summary, Andre is a formidable, resilient, and slightly mysterious player who continues to charm and challenge the chess community with every move. Whether it’s a bullet brawl or a daily duel, expect grit, wit, and an occasional cheeky comeback!

Overall Performance Overview

Andre, your recent rapid game results show a solid and improving performance level with a strength adjusted win rate around 52%. This indicates you win slightly more often than losing or drawing against players of similar rating.

Your rating gains over the past months are impressive, with an increase of over 200 points in the last month and consistent progress over 3 and 6 months. The positive trend slopes tell us that your improvement is steady and accelerating.

Recent Game Highlights

  • You successfully executed attacking plans leading to opponent resignations before the final checkmate in several games. For example, in one game you skillfully gained material advantage and pressured the king's position towards the end.
  • You showed good comfort playing open game openings including an aggressive approach with the Scots and Italian Game lines, often capitalizing on opponent mistakes.
  • Utilizing central control and piece activity, especially your queen and rooks, helped to create winning chances and convert advantages effectively.

Areas for Improvement

  • King Safety: A couple of losses came from tactical oversight near your king. Focus on avoiding back rank weaknesses and leaving the king exposed in semi-open positions.
  • Opening Stability: You sometimes played uncommon openings (for example, early queen sorties or unusual gambit acceptances) that allowed your opponent to seize an initiative quickly. Consider reviewing mainline opening principles to strengthen your early game.
  • Time Management: Maintaining balanced time usage across the game will help avoid rushed moves in critical moments. Consider practicing with increment time controls to gradually improve.

Recommended Next Steps

  • Deepen understanding of popular openings like Scotch Game and Italian Game to solidify your opening phase.
  • Work on tactical puzzles focusing on king safety and defense to minimize tactical losses.
  • Watch your time in games and try to stay calm in complicated positions to reduce blunders.
  • Review the games where you won by resignation or checkmate to reinforce your successful attacking move patterns.
