Louis Chabrerie (aka chabz6)
Meet Louis Chabrerie, a chess enthusiast whose journey is as colorful as his ever-changing blitz ratings! Often seen plotting his next move with a cup of something strong by his side, Louis embodies the true spirit of a tenacious player who refuses to bow down easily.
Rating Rollercoaster
Louis’s blitz rating has experienced more twists and turns than a thriller novel — peaking at a respectable 823 back in May 2023, dipping as low as 296, but always bouncing back with a fiery determination. When it comes to rapid chess, he’s reached an impressive 1283, showing his love for strategic battles over speed. His daily chess peak is a solid 1346, proving he can hold his own when time lets him think... or procrastinate.
Playing Style & Strategy
Louis favors deep, somewhat cautious games: victories tend to come after nearly 59 moves on average, while losses stretch to over 73 moves — a sign he battles hard until the last tick of the clock. With a tilt factor of 10, he’s battling the emotional rollercoaster alongside the strategic one. Not one to surrender prematurely, his early resignation rate is a mere 2.84%, preferring to fight for that sweet, sweet checkmate or a dignified resignation.
Favorite Openings: The "Top Secret" Repertoire
His opening choices are shrouded in mystery, aptly named “Top Secret,” which surprisingly yields a solid 58.33% win rate in blitz. In rapid games, Louis loves the classic King's Pawn Opening, boasting a 76% win rate — clearly, he’s a fan of claiming the center and launching bold attacks early. Notably, the Italian Game is his playground for creative skirmishes, with an 80% blitz win rate and featuring prominently in his most recent and triumphant games.
Tactical Wit and Resilience
With a comeback success rate hovering around 77%, Louis has the heart of a fighter. Even after losing a piece, he manages to claw back victory about half the time — a testament to his sharp tactical awareness and unyielding spirit on the board. Just don’t expect him to win on bullet speed; with a bullet rating maxing out at 228, Louis prefers a more deliberate battle rhythm.
Recent Adventures on the Board
His latest victory was a strategic masterpiece in the Italian Game where he coaxed his opponent to resign after a grueling 62-move affair. Conversely, his most recent setback was a tough checkmate loss in the same opening, reminding us all that even the best have off days — or perhaps a sneaky pawn misstep.
In Summary
Louis Chabrerie is an endearing blend of fighting spirit, thoughtful strategy, and a pinch of unpredictability. Whether you face him at blitz, rapid, or daily chess, expect fierce competition sprinkled with a hint of humor — because chess without a little fun is just checkers!
