Profile: chockeyboy
Meet chockeyboy, a chess adventurer who has turned the 64 squares into his personal playground since at least 2021. From a modest Daily rating of 1719 in 2021, he has danced his way through chess battles, peaking at a solid 2026 before settling comfortably around the 1900s in Daily formats. Not bad for someone who once blitzed from a Blitz rating of 506 in 2022 to 1485 in 2023 — talk about a rapid ascent!
Whether it’s the slow and thoughtful Daily games (with an impressive 71% win rate on his secret "Top Secret" openings) or the adrenaline-pumping Blitz and Rapid matches, chockeyboy's style is a fascinating mix of tenacity and tactical flair. With an early resignation rate of just 2.35%, this player respects the fight but knows when the king is about to fall — no dragging out lost causes here! His games average nearly 57 moves when winning, proving a love for strategic battles rather than quick knockouts.
On the psychological front, chockeyboy's tilt factor stands at a moderate 7, so when the pressure mounts, a little frustration is expected — after all, who doesn’t get a little steamed after hanging a piece? But don’t let that fool you; with a comeback rate of nearly 72% and a 100% win rate after losing a piece, this player knows how to turn misfortune into triumph. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes — or more accurately, a knight swooping in at just the right moment.
Fun fact: chockeyboy’s peak winning streak stands at an impressive 18 games, a testament to his consistent play and mental focus. His strongest performances come in the quieter hours, with phenomenal win rates past midnight and in the early morning—perhaps fueled by coffee, or simply the silencing of the outside world.
Recent Highlights
His latest victory in the "1WL 2025 World Cup Qualifiers 15+ Game 1" showcased his mastery of the Three Knights Opening - Steinitz Defense (ECO C46), where he patiently maneuvered through the middle game to force his opponent's resignation after 39 moves. Not to mention his previous thrilling wins involving the Philidor Defense and the resilient defense leading to domination over multiple time controls.
Despite the occasional loss — as any chess enthusiast should expect — chockeyboy remains undeterred. His losses often come from strong opponents rated in the 2100+ range, showing that while he battles fiercely, the quest for mastery is ongoing. Loss or win, the games are never dull when chockeyboy is at the board.
Playing Style & Personality
Chess is both an art and a battlefield for chockeyboy. Remaining cool under pressure, he doesn’t shy from complex endgames (engaging in them over 61% of the time) and thrives as White and Black with win rates north of 63%. His strategic preference leans toward demonstrating patience and precision, often extracting wins after long tussles rather than quick tactical shots.
Outside the board, chockeyboy is probably the type who might jokingly resign early only to swoop back in with a legendary comeback — a reminder to all that perseverance is king (or queen)! A player full of surprises and steady growth, his evolving repertoire and spirited mentality make him a formidable, and occasionally hilarious, opponent in the online chess world.
