Meet Chat_Banned: The Chess Enigma

Once upon a chessboard, there emerged a player known only by the mysterious moniker Chat_Banned. Legends say this username is inspired by epic chess battles so intense, even the chat was silenced in awe (or perhaps by accident).

Rating Rollercoaster

Starting off with a modest Daily rating just shy of 1,000 in 2018, our hero steadily climbed the ranks, hitting their peak Daily rating of 1414 in August 2019. This ascent wasn’t a mere stroll; it was a marathon across days, weeks, and months of stiff competition, sacrifices, and occasional pawn promotions.

The rapid side of the board reveals quite a spark too, with a career-high rating of 1701 in June 2021, showing that Chat_Banned masters both the snail-paced strategy and the clock-ticking adrenaline.

But wait, there’s more! On the blitz battleground, where games flash by in a heartbeat, Chat_Banned achieved a stunning 1550, and if bullets (the fastest time controls) are your thing, behold their peak of 1866 — a speed-chess wizardry worthy of applause (and a few spilled coffees).

Strengths and Style

With a solid win rate hovering around 55-57% when holding White or Black, Chat_Banned doesn’t discriminate between sides—victory is the goal! Known for a tactical prowess that features a 68.56% comeback rate, they rarely give up even after slipping a piece or two. Persistence and grit? Check!

Beware opponents: Chat_Banned's longest winning streak spells out 23 consecutive triumphs, a testament to their fierce momentum once they get going. Conversely, the occasional tilt factor (only 20%) keeps them mostly level-headed; after all, chess is war, not a soap opera.

Opening Repertoire & Preferred Gambits

With a diverse arsenal of openings, favorites include the Queens Gambit Accepted (100% win rate in Rapid for one subset!) and the cunning Van 't Kruijs Opening that bags wins with an impressive ~86% success rate in blitz games. Meanwhile, playful bullet duels often start with the same powerful Van 't Kruijs or the ever-surprising Englund Gambit, where Chat_Banned boasts a near 73% winning performance.

Fun fact: some openings are so "Top Secret" even Chat_Banned keeps the opponents guessing — although those seem to come with slightly less success.

Notable Battles

Recent victories have been dramatic. One classic game ended when the opponent resigned after Chat_Banned unapologetically unleashed the French Defense La Bourdonnais Variation, showcasing not only strategic depth but stamina through a grueling hour-long battle.

Losses, though fewer in glory, often came against familiar foes like "ChessMasterGS," proving even champions have their lions to tame.

Off the Board

When not orchestrating checkmates or rushing pawns, this enigmatic player enjoys analyzing games from all over the globe, proving that the love of chess transcends mere numbers and ratings—it’s about the dance of minds.

In the immortal words of Chat_Banned: “I don't always resign early... but when I do, it's probably a clever trap.”
