Profile Summary: DarkBat75

Known in the chess realm as DarkBat75, this player is an intriguing blend of grit, strategy, and occasional mystery – much like a bat swooping out at twilight to catch its prey... except here the prey are chess pieces!

Chess Journey & Achievements

DarkBat75 has been weaving through the ranks with a special fondness for the Blitz and Rapid formats, with peak ratings reaching a commendable 1718 in Blitz (April 2021) and a stunning 1825 in Rapid (April 2025). A rare Bullet enthusiast as well, boasting a peak of 1338, proving speed is definitely in the mix.

Playing Style: The Bat Signal of Tactics

With a remarkable 71.96% comeback rate and a ~55% win rate after losing a piece, DarkBat75 never says die easily — the “DarkBat” moniker may just refer to their ability to rise from tactical scrapes faster than you can say “check!” Expect fearless gambits, relentless endgame pressure (noted by a hefty 63% endgame frequency), and a penchant for slightly longer thinking in wins (~68 moves) while losses come quicker (~55 moves).

Fun tidbit: The best time for a DarkBat75 showdown is apparently the crack of dawn at 6 AM — who knew that nocturnal creatures make such impressive early birds?

Opening Repertoire Highlights

  • Queen's Pawn Opening (Accelerated London System): Their secret lair, winning almost 66% of over 700 blitz battles.
  • Sicilian Defense: A favorite weapon with a sizzling 67.6% success rate in Blitz play, with notable variations like Bowdler Attack and Delayed Alapin showing up on their score sheet.
  • Indian Game & London System: Steady performers with nearly 59% and 62% win rates in blitz respectively, making for a versatile fighter.

Recent Battles

Fresh from the arena, DarkBat75 secured a smooth victory by resignation against dimitrislaz1995 on June 2, 2025, playing the Queens Pawn Opening with style and precision. The final position saw DarkBat75 commanding the board, a true testament to their deep strategic understanding.

However, not all nights end with the bat victorious; a recent loss to GodOfKnight reminded DarkBat75 to recharge those wings and sharpen the claws for the next fight.

Personality & Quirks

DarkBat75’s stats reveal a player who doesn’t shy away from early resignations sometimes (around 3.3%) — perhaps a bat scratching its head and deciding it’s time to fly off and live another day rather than flounder in the open. Their tilt factor is a level-headed 12, which means even if things go south, the DarkBat doesn’t turn into a frenzied creature but bides time for a dignified comeback.

With a staggering more than 3000 Blitz wins and a positive overall performance against most opponents, DarkBat75 is both respected and a formidable rival. They even manage to score wonderfully against notorious nemeses, occasionally achieving a perfect 100% win rate vs certain players.

In Conclusion

A grappler of boards and pieces, a strategist who blends patience with tactics, DarkBat75 is a chess warrior who lives by the motto: “Strike swiftly, but dominate relentlessly.” Whether it's dawn or dusk, this player is ready to swoop in and leave opponents wondering if they just faced a vampire of the 64 squares.

Beware the DarkBat’s flight – your queen might just be the next casualty!
