Profile: Darc Btamf
Meet Darc Btamf, a chess warrior whose rapid and blitz escapades have earned him quite the reputation—at least among his foes and casual observers. Clocking a peak rapid rating of 940 in 2022 and currently cruising near 762 in 2024, Darc prefers a steady climb over flashy shortcuts. His blitz skills are nothing to sneeze at either, hitting a high of 809 in 2023 with an impressive 11 wins out of 13 games.
Playing Style & Strategy
Darc's style could best be described as "patiently tactical." A relatively low early resignation rate (4.35%) suggests he’s not one to give up easily—unless he’s really hungry or his coffee's gone cold. His average winning game stretches to about 50 moves, proving endurance is one of his secret weapons. Not to mention, his comeback rate after losing a piece is 100%, making him the comeback king—he literally refuses to let a lost piece dictate the outcome.
Opening Choices
He loves mixing it up with openings like the Van 't Kruijs Opening, boasting an 83% win rate in rapid — probably throwing opponents off just by the bizarre name. His Scandinavian and Caro-Kann defenses hold their ground too, at a reliable 50%. Queens Pawn? A perfect 100% win rate in those quick rapid games. Darc clearly knows how to put theory into practice, although the Petrovs Defense Classical Variation remains a mystery with no wins to date.
Competitive Highlights & Rivalries
With a longest winning streak of 10 games and an energetic current streak of 2, Darc keeps his momentum flowing. His top rival is chillydrax, having faced off 15 times with Darc scoring a solid 87% win rate—feel free to call him chilly after that. Other frequent opponents like jko32 and creamingcream have also suffered at Darc's hands, showing his knack for maintaining dominance.
Psychological & Temporal Tendencies
Interestingly, Darc performs best when the clock strikes midday or late night, boasting 100% win rates at 12pm, 7am, 2am, and even a perfect score at the tricky 11pm hour. Maybe his brain loves extremes? His tilt factor is low, proving he keeps calm under pressure—although rated games do make him about 38% less effective than casual matches, so maybe the pressure gets real sometimes.
Summary
In short, Darc Btamf is a resilient, tactically sharp chess player who both endears and terrifies opponents with his endurance, comeback skills, and quirky openings. He might not yet be a grandmaster, but with a tenacious spirit and an excellent record against many rivals, Darc is definitely a name to watch in every blitz and rapid tournament—and who knows, maybe someday he’ll finally crack that Petrovs Defense!
