Profile: Cr3van - The Chess Conqueror
Meet Cr3van, a blitz chess enthusiast who thrives on lightning-fast decisions and tactical fireworks. Since 2018, Cr3van has been relentlessly climbing the rating ladder, starting with a modest blitz rating around 1500 and smashing through the 2600 mark in blitz by 2025. Talk about speed on the board!
Not just a one-trick pony, Cr3van dabbles in bullet, rapid, and daily games — with a particular flair for blitz where over 8,000 games reveal a warrior’s heart: 4,338 wins, 4,202 losses, and 692 draws. Their bullet rating zoomed up to over 2300, and rapid games boast an impressive win rate near 90%. The daily games? Well, a rare but steady presence with a respectable 75% top secret win rate.
Playing Style & Mindset
With an endgame frequency of nearly 79% and an average of 80 moves per win, Cr3van isn’t just a speedster—they're a marathon runner, grinding out victories in long battles that would make Tolstoy proud. Early resignations are kept low at just 2.86%, showing this player is stubbornly optimistic... or maybe just refuses to admit defeat until the bitter end.
Psychologically, Cr3van’s comeback rate is a staggering 90%, and after losing a piece, the win rate rockets to over 99%. That’s a master class in resilience or an uncanny ability to make opponents question their life choices. Tilt factor sits at a humble 13, though those sharp losses and near-perfect streaks suggest Cr3van might occasionally resort to muttering "just one more game..." instead of bedtime.
Favorite Openings & Battles
While many get lost in opening theory, Cr3van keeps certain mysteries close to the chest — literally, with the enigmatic "Top Secret" opening dominating their playbook like a knight in shining armor. This opening alone accounts for thousands of blitz battles and hundreds of bullet skirmishes, boasting win rates hovering around 47% in blitz and an impressive 51% in bullet.
Carving out niche successes against variations like the Caro Kann Defense and Closed Sicilian lines, Cr3van shows a penchant for spicy gambits and solid defenses alike. Opponents beware: this player’s persistence and tactical sharpness make every game a rollercoaster worthy of popcorn (and maybe a stress ball or two).
Rivals & Memorable Opponents
Among countless opponents, some names pop up often — ranging from tm4599 (55 battles) to nemsko and knyaz13. With win rates varying widely against these rivals, Cr3van exhibits a healthy mix of fierce competition and occasional humble pie consumption. The ever-curious eyes can catch this player facing new challengers daily, from "apple_rom" to "123rocket123."
