Player Profile: cozimdone

Meet cozimdone, a spirited chess enthusiast whose journey through the 64 squares is a rollercoaster of triumphs, tactical skirmishes, and the occasional “Oops, missed that!” moment.

Rating and Strength

Currently peaking at a Blitz rating of 685 (April 2025), Rapid at a mighty 763 (May 2025), and a Bullet best of 549 (April 2025), cozimdone has demonstrated steady growth and resilience. While the ratings may not scream grandmaster yet, they're a testament to the grind and passion behind the username.

Playing Style: The Artful Dodger

Known for a fairly balanced win rate with White (~51%) and Black (~49%), cozimdone exhibits a patient style, averaging 58 moves in victories and around 49 moves in losses. Early resignations are a respectful 5%, showing a willingness to fight till the bitter end. A penchant for endgames is evident with an endgame frequency above 50%, proving the stamina to battle when the queens leave the board.

Favorite Openings

The Scandinavian Defense clearly holds cozimdone’s heart (and board) with a commendable 50%+ win rate in Blitz. The Italian Game’s Knight Attack variation is a personal gem, boasting nearly 70% wins in Blitz, and undefeated in Rapid. A dabble into lesser-known gambits like the Englund and the Philidor keep opponents guessing.

Tactical Tenacity

With a comeback rate above 70%, cozimdone is not the type to fold under pressure. Even after losing a piece, ~45% of the games swing back toward a win—showing true grit (or maybe just opponents being generous). However, a tilt factor of 10 suggests those 10% moments when the pawns seem to conspire against you are, well… inevitable.

Quirks & Quarks

• Best time to challenge fate? 6:00 AM. Early bird gets the bishop!
• Winning streaks can climb as high as 9 in a row — a mini-champ in the making.
• Less fond of higher-rated opponents, winning less than 16% games against the big fish, but dominating those rated below.
• Go-to decisive methods: checkmates and timeouts fuel many wins — patience (and clock management) is key.

Recent Battles

Victory often comes by resignation or checkmate — like the thrilling June 2, 2025 win against lucasgabian with the Italian Game Knight Attack (a flawless, classic strike). Losses, while painful, are learning moments (like a recent tumble to md64x in a sharp Pirc defense encounter).

Fun Fact

Among frequent foes, ace_deangee has met cozimdone’s blade 43 times, with a respectable win rate around 65%. A true chess rivalry brewing!

In summary, cozimdone’s chess tale is one of steady improvement, varied opening adventures, and a fighting spirit that refuses to quit—even if the king occasionally waves the white flag. Watch this space; the next big breakthrough could be just one move away!
