Profile Summary: CorGus22

Meet CorGus22, a chess adventurer who has danced across the 64 squares with the strategic grace of a ninja and the occasional flair of a wild card. With a peak rapid rating soaring to an impressive 902 in May 2025, CorGus22 has proven to be a formidable opponent in the realm of rapid chess.

Chess Journey & Style

Starting at a modest rating below 600 in late 2022, CorGus22 embarked on a steady climb, conquering wins and learning from losses. This player balances aggressive tactics with patience, showing a strong endgame frequency of 65.53%, and an uncanny ability to claw back during tough spots, boasting a 74% comeback rate. Average moves per win hover around 53, which shows endurance and a love for the deep strategic battles rather than quick swindles.

White pieces bring out a slightly better winning edge (51.14% win rate) compared to playing Black (47.73%), but both sides show solid performance. Yet, be warned: early resignation is almost a stranger here, with only a 1.2% rate—this player fights to the bitter end.

Opening Repertoire: Mysteries and Favorites

CorGus22's secret weapon is literally classified under "Top Secret" openings with almost 1,200 games played in that category, maintaining an almost even win-loss record (~49% win rate). But don't be fooled: when venturing into known territories, such as the Queens Pawn Opening Mikenas Lithuanian Variation, they're practically unstoppable with a 100% win rate. Other favorites include the Queen's Pawn Opening with near 78% success and the Three Knights Opening boasting a flawless 100% record in the small sample played.

Recent Performance

In recent memory, CorGus22 clinched victories with both elegance and grit. A standout was a victory by resignation against czessmichaelowski, where a well-played Queen's Pawn Game sealed the deal. Another thrilling winning moment came from outmaneuvering climb4fun in a tight time control battle, winning eventually on time after a tense 42-move skirmish.

However, like all epic journeys, some setbacks pepper the path. Losses by resignation and on time against strong foes like Amresh1997 and ehakim showcase that even CorGus22 can't escape the mercurial nature of chess — human, fallible, but always learning.

Personality & Psychological Makeup

With a tilt factor of 7, CorGus22 occasionally lets emotions creep in, but nothing catastrophic. This player shows clear preference for late-night games, with the best results around 23:00 — apparently, the mind deserves a good midnight caffeine boost! Win rates peak impressively late in the day, and Saturday seems to be the luckiest day of the week.

Community & Opponents

CorGus22 has tangled most frequently with a handful of players like shankar363636 and hhhhhhhhhllol, showing a balanced rivalry with about 66% win rate vs them. There is an impressive list of opponents against whom CorGus22 boasts a perfect or near-perfect win rate, proving resilience and consistency across the board.

Conclusion

A blend of strategic secrecy, resilience, and fair play defines CorGus22. Whether making comebacks or executing precise endgames, this player embodies the spirit of a chess warrior who never gives up, always ready to experiment with "top secret" lines and eager to add a few more victories to their ledger — preferably before dawn.

Watch out, chess world: CorGus22 is on the rise and ready to turn pawns into legends!
