With a peak blitz rating nudging 1041 and a daily peak soaring beyond 1100, Clint plays more moves than a chess marathoner and tends to make every pawn promotion feel like a personal victory lap.
Starting modestly in 2020 with a blitz rating around 650, Clint’s journey is the epitome of perseverance. There have been ups, downs, quirky openings, and even a dash of frustration, but through it all, a deeply ingrained passion for the game shines.

Records & Rivalries
Clint has battled many foes, including some fierce rivals like djb198110, against whom he holds a 68% win rate. His “most recent opponents” list reads like a fantasy league draft: from foxkxtrot to cornelius42, every game is a new chapter in his chess saga.
Not without his share of "bad days" though, his tilt factor of 13 reminds us that even gladiators stumble — but hey, that’s half the fun, right?
Memorable Battles
Recent games show Clint mastering time pressure and delivering on-the-clock victories, sometimes winning simply because his opponent forgot to hit pause! His recent triumph in June 2025 with Black’s Alekhine’s Defense Scandinavian Variation ended on time victory - a true test of nerves and strategy.
