Profile: crokmitene40

Meet crokmitene40, a rapid chess enthusiast whose rating journey resembles a rollercoaster ride through the kingdom of pawns and knights. With a peak rapid rating of 574 in early 2024, this player has bravely faced both glory and defeat, currently rocking a rating hovering just under 400. Not bad for a gladiator who’s recorded 11 wins, 15 losses, and 4 draws in rapid play—proving that in chess, as in life, it’s not just about winning but learning (and sometimes losing spectacularly).

Opening Repertoire & Style

Citing openings from the reserved Queen's Pawn to the cunning Vienna Game Anderssen Defense, crokmitene40 showcases some eclectic tastes at the board. Queens Pawn Opening may only deliver a 20% win rate, but hey, everyone needs a challenge! The player shines brightest with the Queens Pawn Chigorin Variation and English Opening King's English Variation, each boasting a flawless 100% win record—talk about choosing your battles wisely!

Their play style is a curious mix: a 20% early resignation rate because, as they say, "Why suffer longer than necessary?" Yet, they often dig deep in endgames, with an endgame frequency above 50%, averaging 53 moves to taste victory—a marathon, not a sprint. Black pieces have yielded better results than white, with a 40% win rate on the dark side.

Tactical Prowess & Psychological Quirks

This chess warrior is a master of comebacks: with a stunning 72.73% comeback rate, crokmitene40 refuses to wave the white flag too soon. Even after losing a piece, they have a perfect 100% win rate—a true testament to the phrase "never give up." However, watch out for the 20% one-sided loss rate and a tilt factor of 3, reminding us all that even chess champs can get rattled after a few blunders.

Recent Battles

One of their latest victories was against “Chovy_2107” in a taxing 62-move Queen’s Pawn Opening, won on time—and perhaps patience. Another notable win came from a deceptively calm game against MinamDowon with the Vienna Game, clinched by resignation after a strategic onslaught. But the road hasn’t been all smooth sailing: tough losses against strong opponents like “lukas130189” and “MagnusRizzius” show that every hero has their kryptonite.

Fun Fact

While crokmitene40's rating dipped from 574 to 364 between 2024 and 2025, their persistence and passion remain undeterred. After all, what’s chess if not a journey full of unexpected twists, noble sacrifices, and the occasional blunder that keeps us coming back for more?
