Profile of CharlesCollin74: The Rapid Strategist

CharlesCollin74 is a chess warrior known as much for his tactical flair as for his ability to keep calm under fire. Not your average pawn pusher, Charles’s journey through rapid chess ratings tells the tale of a player who’s constantly evolving—peaking at a solid 1645 in 2024 before settling comfortably around the 1500s in 2025 with nearly 180 rapid games under his belt. A relentless competitor, Charles boasts a persistent battle record with almost as many wins as losses, proving that every game is fought to the last check.

Blitz is where Charles really lights up the board—achieving a max rating above 1800 with a nifty win rate over 57% when it comes to his secret opening strategies. Though his blitz sample is small, his 100% comeback rate after losing a piece and an impressive 80% overall comeback ability show that giving up early is simply not in his playbook. His longest winning streak? A modest but meaningful five victories in a row, reminding opponents that momentum is a worthy adversary.

He’s a player who’s also picky about timing his battles. Monday is his lucky day with a win rate hitting 65%, and surprisingly, he dominates the 9 AM slot with a clean 100% success rate—proving mornings can be for winners after all. Conversely, Wednesdays and late nights around 11 PM seem to be his chess kryptonite.

Whether wielding the white or black pieces, Charles’s stable win rates (47% and 50% respectively) reveal a balanced style, favoring complex endgames and averaging over 64 moves per winning game—either he’s grinding down opponents patiently or setting elaborate traps. Fair warning: his early resignation rate is under 10%, so he’s not one to quit early, but watch out for his tilt factor hovering around 9, which suggests he’s got the occasional “why did I just do that?!” moment.

Off the board, CharlesCollin74's opponents often find themselves victims of his favorite “Top Secret” opening, a mysterious set of moves that have earned him a near 50% success in rapid and a sharp 57% in blitz. Sounds like a secret worth keeping—unless, of course, you’re on the losing side.

No matter the challenger—be it a first-timer or a seasoned counter-strategist—Charles has shown an uncanny ability to adapt. Opponents like samihake and kuzmin0106 have found no luck against him, with a perfect 100% win record in those matchups.

In short: CharlesCollin74 may not be a grandmaster yet, but he’s the kind of player who makes you sweat every move, grins through setbacks, and keeps churning out games like a chess-playing machine fueled by caffeine and maybe just a pinch of stubbornness.
