Chess Profile: sufferin love (Username: coslo22)
Meet sufferin love, a chess player whose journey is as colorful and unpredictable as their username implies.
Despite a modest Blitz rating that has swung from 100 to an impressive peak of 336 in May 2025, and a Rapid rating soaring all the way up to a formidable 714 in January 2025, sufferin love embraces both winning and losing with an almost philosophical flair.
With over 290 Rapid wins under their belt and a Blitz record of 39 wins out of 74 games, coslo22’s playstyle is a cocktail of resilience and tactical spice. Having an early resignation rate of just over 8% shows the grit to stick through tough games, while an average of about 51 moves per win means they’re no quitter — battles here can last a while! Their longest winning streak of 9 games proves they can channel a serious hot streak when the stars align.
Known to shine brightest in the evenings (20:00 is their “Best Time of Day to Play”), sufferin love has a quirky talent for pulling comebacks, boasting a comeback rate north of 66%. Even after losing key pieces, they hold a respectable 45% chance to still take home the win. Of course, every chess warrior faces dark days — their longest losing streak stretched to 8 games, but with an 8-point tilt factor, they’re far from shaken for long.
