Rating Snapshot: Once peaking at a proud 570 in March 2024 rapid games, crowstree currently fluctuates around 248-274 rating territory. Not exactly Magnus-level yet, but every grandmaster started somewhere!

Playing Style & Quirks

Known for a not-so-shabby average of just over 50 moves per win, crowstree is patient and strategic, if a bit slow to seal the deal. However, a 37.5% early resignation rate hints at a tendency to occasionally call it quits when the chips (or pawns) are down—maybe crowstree prefers a dignified retreat to a long painful loss. The endgame, though, is where crowstree shines roughly 44% of the time, enjoying the quiet tension of the final battles on the board.

Rapid Fire Records

  • Total rapid games recorded: 16
  • Wins: 7, Losses: 8, Draws: 1
  • Longest winning streak: 3 games — rookies and champs alike admire streaks like these.
  • Longest losing streak: 6 games — because what’s a story without ups and downs?

Openings: Top Secret... literally

In rapid games, crowstree primarily uses the intriguingly named "Top Secret" opening—14 games with a 43% win rate. The true mystery may lie in that opening’s secrecy, but one thing’s for sure: crowstree keeps opponents guessing. The other two games played with an "Unknown Opening" were no less mysterious, boasting a 50% win rate.

Psychological Profile & Habits

Playing at 5PM is when crowstree’s brain seems to wake up fully: 100% win rate at 17:00 hours! Although rapid chess can be brutal, crowstree shows impressive comebacks, with a 57% comeback rate—perfect for dramatic fans of the underdog narrative.

Beware though, a tilt factor of 6 warns that crowstree might smartly avoid playing immediately after a loss, to prevent turning the board into a battlefield of rage!

Notable Games

One unforgettable victory involved crowstree snatching a win against clintonqueen by game abandonment in a tense encounter featuring the Reti Opening:


1. c4 e5 2. Nf3 d6 3. c5 f6 4. cxd6 Bxd6 5. Qa4+ Bd7 6. h3 Bxa4 0-1
  

Unfortunately, losses against opponents like matatahh show there’s still room to grow — but hey, nobody wins every game (except maybe the pizza delivery guy who gets free food after every chess meetup).

Opponent Breakdown

Most frequently battled foes include matatahh, clintonqueen, ea45fgv, hetersen, and the memorable jushuaaaaaaaaaa. Against some, crowstree boasts a flawless 100% win rate, while against others it’s a work-in-progress.

Conclusion

In the grand chessboard of life, crowstree is a mix of cunning, resilience, and a pinch of mystery. With a flair for comebacks and a flair for the dramatic, this player might soon rise from rapid ranks to something even faster—like blitz or bullet. Until then, advice for opponents: don’t let crowstree get comfy at 5 PM. That’s when the real storm brews!
