Profile Summary: Coupdoux22

Meet Coupdoux22, a rapid chess enthusiast whose rating journey is nothing short of a rollercoaster (but in the best way). Peaking at a respectable 329 in May 2025, Coupdoux22 has demonstrated flashes of brilliance peppered with just enough humbling losses to keep things interesting. With an overall rapid record just shy of an even split—151 wins, 143 losses, and 20 draws—this player knows how to keep opponents on their toes.

Rapid play is where Coupdoux22 shines brightest, having played over 300 games in 2025 alone. The player’s greatest tactical feat? A comeback rate of almost 70%, proving they’re not just battling the board, but also mastering the art of resilience. Endgames are frequent (seen in over half their games), and moving an average of 56 moves per win means this player loves to dig deep rather than serve quick checkmates.

Speaking of victories, the player’s favorite openings are as diverse as their win rates. With a perfect 100% record in the rare and tricky Van t Kruijs Opening, and a solid 75% in the Italian Game Two Knights Modern Bishops Opening, Coupdoux22 clearly enjoys throwing opponents curveballs. Meanwhile, the King’s Pawn Opening remains trusty territory with a neat 50% win rate over 34 games—steady and dependable.

But it’s not all smooth sailing—Coupdoux22’s blitz adventures tell a slightly different story. With a blitz peak rating of 707 but only 3 games played recently, it’s clear this is more of an occasional thrill ride than a weekend hobby. The blitz record stands at 1 win and 2 losses, suggesting the speed-chess adrenaline hasn’t fully captured their heart (yet).

On the psychological front, Coupdoux22’s tilt factor is surprisingly low at 6, meaning defeats don’t lead to rage quits (much to the relief of friends and family). Their best time to play? Midnight - because who needs sleep when you have chessboard drama? Interestingly, they sometimes pack up early with a modest early resignation rate of 4%, likely saving energy for those long, complex battles looming ahead.

Recent games affirm Coupdoux22’s strategic flair, with a memorable win over taikahousu using a daring line in the Caro-Kann Defense (B10), ending swiftly by resignation as the opponent couldn't withstand the pressure. Yet the journey isn’t without stings, such as a sharp checkmate loss to sait3112 in a Vienna Game Max Lange Defense—reminding us all even seasoned warriors get outfoxed sometimes.

Whether you catch Coupdoux22 on a Tuesday afternoon or a late-night blitz session, expect a player who combines stubborn perseverance, tactical depth, and a touch of unpredictable opening choices. They might not have mastered the quickfire blitz arena, but on the rapid board, Coupdoux22 is a force to be reckoned with—and an entertaining opponent who plays chess like it’s a dramatic saga unfolding one move at a time.
