Player Profile: ChessNeverHeardOfHim

Meet ChessNeverHeardOfHim, a chess contender who might not be a household name – yet – but is certainly a force to reckon with on the 64 squares. Starting May 2025 with humble beginnings, this player has ventured through the blitz battlefield, daily duels, and rapid rounds showing flashes of brilliance and a knack for unpredictability.

Rating Voyage

• Peak Blitz rating: 585 (May 2025)
• Peak Daily rating: 358 (May 2025)
• Peak Rapid rating: 412 (May 2025)

While these numbers might not yet strike fear into grandmasters, ChessNeverHeardOfHim's journey is dotted with memorable wins, hearty losses, and a stubborn fighting spirit that refuses to quit – especially notable in a comeback rate soaring over 54%! This player knows how to claw back from setbacks and keep the game alive.

Playing Style & Habits

Endgames are a favorite arena, featuring in half the games played. With an average of 47 moves per win and even more patience in losses, this is someone who doesn’t just throw in the towel early – although about 4.5% of games ended in early resignations (possibly when the coffee’s gone cold). White pieces seem to bring a slight extra edge, winning about 41% of the time. Black isn’t far behind, showing solid resilience.

ChessNeverHeardOfHim's best hour? The afternoon at 1 PM, where tactical awareness shines brightest with a stunning 75% win rate. Late night blunders happen too though, as the tilt factor stands at around 6 — proof that even the best can sometimes take a bad move personally.

Opening Choices: A Mixed Bag

With a taste for both classical and less ordinary openings, this player is equally at home with the Alekhine’s Defense (100% success in blitz) and the Caro-Kann Defense (also a perfect Blitz run). Yet, the Sicilian Defense Bowdler Attack doesn't sit well at all, with a 0% win rate—perhaps that’s an area for future improvement or just a loveable Achilles heel.

Rapid games reveal mixed fortunes with openings like King’s Pawn Leonardis Variation smashing it at 100%, showing they have their signature tactics ready when the clock ticks down.

Recent Highlights & Lowlights

Among recent triumphs, one game stands out: a victory over Rabbadabba by cleverly wielding the Alekhine’s Defense, ending with a bold game abandonment win. Another win showcases endurance on the clock, defeating leozinDamassa with steady Caro-Kann maneuvers, winning on time. In a rapid showdown, ChessNeverHeardOfHim tactfully outlasted mauriciovillam, proving time management is just as vital as moves.

Losses do come in waves, with a longest losing streak hitting six games — humility is part of the journey. The most recent loss was a well-executed checkmate by Prebis61, reminding that even the mightiest stumble now and then.

Battlefield Notes

• Total blitz games: 30 (12 wins, 18 losses)
• Rapid games: 49 (19 wins, 25 losses, 5 draws)
