Profile Summary: cstarrp93

Meet cstarrp93, the relentless gladiator of the online chessboard—a master of comebacks who never gives up without a fight (even if sometimes the fight is mostly uphill). With a peak Blitz rating of 468 achieved in October 2023 and a Rapid peak that once soared to 673 back in the summer of 2019, cstarrp93’s journey is a rollercoaster of high hopes, tough losses, and spicy victories.

Armed with a tactical awareness boasting an impressive 71.48% comeback rate, cstarrp93 knows how to claw back from the brink — even if the current losing streak of 3 games is testing that resolve. Whether battling through 40-game losing streaks or flashing moments of brilliance with 9 consecutive wins, this player keeps the battlefield interesting.

Their style? A mix of patience and daring: with an average of 50+ moves per game (both wins and losses), they savor the tussle deep into the endgame, which they reach in nearly half their games. Quick to resign early only about 10% of the time — proof that they prefer to fight tooth and nail until mate or timeout calls the shots.

Opening repertoire highlights:

• Blitz favorites: The classic King’s Pawn Opening (34 games, 41% win rate), Nimzowitsch Defense (50% win rate), and a dash of the Reti Opening showing promise (67% win rate). Not afraid to tango with Sicilian and Scandinavian defenses either.
• Rapid pallete: Predominantly the King’s Pawn Opening, though with a modest 27% win rate, paired with Alekhine’s Defense and the Van’t Kruijs Opening—ict chess fans would call this eclectic, a chess coach might just call it bold.

When facing opponents, cstarrp93 has some nemeses and fan favorites alike — standing undefeated against players like fredrikteo, flxdr, and jaybonello (100% win rates, no less!), but other rivals have had the upper hand quite often.

Clock management is a twisty tale. With wins on some rare timeouts and losses on others, cstarrp93 seems to flirt with time pressure—a gamble that’s sometimes paid off spectacularly, other times not so much.

The best time to challenge cstarrp93? Around 4 PM, when their win rate peaks at a stunning 57.89%. Notably, evening blitz battles also bring out their sharpest form (46.67% win rate at 6 PM and 53.33% at 3 PM).

Recent Highlights:

Just recently, cstarrp93 clinched victory in a tense Blitz game against fredrikteo, conquering with the King’s Pawn Opening - King's Knight Variation. The black pieces struck decisively, winning by resignation after a swift and elegant 12-move exchange of tactics. If chess had an action movie genre, that game would be the short, explosive thriller.

Yet, the battles have not been without their setbacks. Losses to players like dkott64 and maikstrik remind us that even the bravest warriors sometimes meet their match. But with a fighting spirit reflected in a nearly 25% win rate after losing a piece, cstarrp93 is the epitome of “never say die."

Whether you seek a challenging opponent or just a saga of guts and gambits, cstarrp93 serves an entertaining chess experience full of unexpected twists, cliffhangers, and, on occasion, glorious checkmates. Ready your pawns and bishops—this player’s journey is far from over!
