Chris Beautour – The Brave Blitz Battler

Known online as chris12024, Chris Beautour is a chess enthusiast journeying bravely through the wilds of rapid and blitz chess realms. His tale starts modestly, with a peak blitz rating of 777 back in 2019—a number some might chuckle at, but hey, everybody starts somewhere! Since then, Chris has illustrated a passionate climb up the rating ladder, peaking impressively at 615 in blitz and 714 in rapid by 2025. Bullet chess? Well, that’s more like a sprint, and Chris has dabbled there too, with a dab-hand peak of 833.

A tactician with an affinity for the King's Pawn Opening – King's Knight Variation and the Blackmar Gambit, Chris plays with a cunning blend of aggressive gambits and reliable openings that keep his opponents guessing. The Bishop’s Opening also appears to be a favorite, with a win rate that would make even bishops proud. No wonder he’s racked up over 1100 wins in blitz alone!

Chris is as resilient as a bishop trapped on the board’s wrong color—boasting a comeback rate of nearly 80%, proving he rarely surrenders without a fight. Yet, he’s not immune to the occasional slip, enduring losing streaks of up to 10 games. Even the greatest have their off days.

His playing rhythm peaks at unusual hours, with a remarkable 69% win rate around 6 AM—perhaps fueled by coffee or sheer determination to outsmart sleep. Mondays are also his lucky days, tipping the win rate just over 52%, making the start of the week feel like a victorious opening move.

Psychologically, Chris keeps it real—he’s known to resign early about 10% of his games when things get rough, a testament to pragmatism over pride. Average game lengths show his penchant for drawn-out battles, with wins stretching over 48 moves on average, quite the endurance test!

Opponents beware: Chris has a legion of foes he’s faced repeatedly, with varying success. Against jephte9399, it's a tough tussle (around 56% win rate), but some like fafster13 have seen only the winning side of him. And speaking of victories, his recent wins have come by both resignation and checkmate, often from positions where he cleverly dismantled defenses and forced opponents into submission—no wonder his games bring drama and delight alike.

When not plotting his next move, Chris can be found experimenting with openings or shaking off losses to unlock the mysteries of chess psychology. His tilt factor is moderate (10 out of 100), indicating he keeps calm and recalibrates, even when the kaleidoscope of chess throws curveballs.

Whether blitzing away on a lazy Sunday afternoon or grinding through a rapid marathon at dawn, Chris Beautour’s chess story is still unfolding. With his blend of tenacity, creativity, and just the right touch of madness, the chessboard will always be a battlefield worthy of his skill and wit.
