Playing Style & Strengths

Patience might not be their strongest suit—the average game runs around 50 moves until victory, but losses stretch even longer, averaging over 60 moves. Known to occasionally wave a white flag early (a modest 1.47% early resignation rate), Cicelybergsma more often fights till the endgame, which happens in approximately half of their games. Playing as White, they net a respectable 52% win rate, while Black brings a solid 44% success.

Tactical Prowess

Comeback magic? Absolutely. Cicelybergsma bounces back from losing material with a hefty 72% comeback rate and even manages to win nearly 41% of games after losing a piece. That means they're the sort of player who might suddenly transform a disaster into a victory—or at least keep you nervously guessing.

Favorite Openings

As a rapid player, Cicelybergsma favors classic territory:

• Kings Pawn Opening: 60% win rate over 10 games
• Philidor Defense: a challenging friend with a 37.5% success rate
• Scandinavian Defense Closed: solid ground at 60% win rate
• Kings Pawn Opening Leonardis Variation: a neat 60% win rate

In blitz, they seem to channel their inner commander, boasting a perfect 100% win record in the Kings Pawn Opening Kings Knight Variation from two games and showing a penchant for sharp lines like the French Defense and Sicilian Defense—all undefeated.

Recent Adventures

Cicelybergsma’s latest win was a swift abandoned game victory played with the Black pieces against aghalud, showcasing tactical motifs in an Italian Game battle.

Psych and Emotional Notes
