Profile Summary: climbthematterhorn

Title: International Master (IM) – officially recognized by FIDE, proving they’re not just climbing mountains but chess rating ladders too!

Known online as climbthematterhorn, this player has a peak blitz rating soaring to an impressive 2847 as of December 2023. That’s some seriously high-altitude chess! Their bullet and rapid skills are no slouch either, with peak ratings of 2581 and 2300 respectively.

Chess Style & Performance

A fearless tactician, climbthematterhorn doesn’t back down easily, showcasing a formidable 90% comeback rate, meaning even if they lose a piece, there’s a strong chance they’ll turn it around. While their blitz win rate hovers around 41%, their rapid games are flawless at 100% wins in recorded events!

Though they sometimes experience a tilt factor of 9 (chess emotions can get as wild as mountain weather), they’re persistent and have a longest winning streak of 13 games. Their strategies often lead to lengthy battles, with an average of around 80 moves per win — endurance is clearly a strength.

Notable Characteristics

  • Endgame Enthusiast: Plays endgames in over 84% of their games, proving they’re comfortable going the distance and sealing victories with precision.
  • Time of Day Mastery: Best chess at 11:00 AM – maybe fueled by a strong coffee or lucid mountain air!
  • Opening Secrets: Keeps their opening repertoire top secret, but you can bet it’s as solid as Swiss rock.
  • White pieces prowess: Wins nearly 47% of games, while still impressively managing over 35% wins with Black.

Recent Games

Humorous Tidbit

If chess were a mountain climb, climbthematterhorn would be the climber who stops to admire the view but never loses grip on the board — always ascending, occasionally slipping, but ultimately conquering peaks with a clever smile.

Whether it’s blitz, bullet, or rapid, this International Master keeps raising the bar, one calculated move at a time!
