Profile Summary: cricri130

Meet cricri130, a passionate rapid chess player whose journey through the 64 squares is anything but predictable. With a peak rapid rating of 937 achieved in November 2023, cricri130 has shown flashes of brilliance and the heart of a true fighter.

Playing over 5,000 rapid games, cricri130’s win-loss-draw record hovers almost evenly around the 2789–2830–363 mark, proving that for every victory there’s a story of struggle, and for every defeat, a lesson learned. Frequenting openings like the King's Pawn Opening and Bishop's Opening, cricri130 prefers a classical approach, boasting a respectable 46.67% and 50% win rate respectively in these lines—solid enough to keep opponents guessing, but humble enough not to be labeled a grandmaster just yet.

Ever the tactician, cricri130 boasts a remarkable 66.22% comeback rate and shows resilience with a 39% win rate after losing a piece. But beware—when the chips are down and the psychological pressure mounts, the tilt factor can spike up to 9, reminding us that even chess warriors are mere mortals.

Known for an unconventional and sometimes cheeky style, cricri130's games can be surprisingly short and sharp—just ask anyone who's been caught off guard by a swift queen early attack, like the recent classic 5-move checkmate. Opponents underestimate the ferocity behind moves like 2.Qh5 and the relentless pressure of Bb5+, resulting in quick and colorful victories!

With an average of about 60 moves per game regardless of outcome, cricri130 enjoys a balanced mix of strategy and endurance. White pieces yield a slightly better success rate (49.18%) compared to Black (44.05%), but the player’s mood and energy levels, peaking between 1 am and early morning hours, often dictate the outcome more than color.

Off the board, cricri130 is known to be a friendly rival to many, with a diverse leaderboard of opponents. Their highest winning streak clocks in at 9 games, and—let's be honest—they’ve also survived the dreaded 9-game losing streak with dignity intact.
