Meet darkside3704, a versatile and tenacious chess player who has been honing their skills over several years—with battles fought largely in the thrilling arenas of Blitz and Bullet time controls. Known to occasionally flirt with faster and slower formats, darkside3704 prefers the heat of Blitz, where quick decisions and rapid attacks keep opponents on their toes.

From a humble rank in 2020, bouncing around the 800-1000 range, this player has steadily climbed the ladder, reaching a personal peak Blitz rating of 1209 in April 2024 and an impressive Bullet peak of 1155 near the end of the same year. Now that's upward momentum! Their current ratings hover comfortably above 1000 in both Blitz and Bullet, showing resilience and determination.

darkside3704 is a cunning tactician with a sharp eye for comebacks—boasting a remarkable 84.72% comeback rate after adversity hits. Not much seems to shake this player, even if the dreaded “Tilt” factor tries its best (mercifully low at 19). Their intuition and quick wit make them a dangerous foe when the clock is ticking down.

Their opening repertoire is as eclectic as a black cat in a room full of rocking chairs. Favorites include the aggressive Scandinavian Defense Mieses Kotrc Variation and the classic Kings Pawn Opening Kings Knight Variation, both with respectable win rates around 50%. One could say they like to keep their opponents guessing—sometimes good, sometimes “uh-oh”!

With a longest winning streak of 28 games and a not-so-shabby average game length nearing 66 moves per decisive game, matches might stretch on long enough to make you consider popping some popcorn... or some aspirin.

On the social battlefield, darkside3704 has played against a wide range of opponents and has a mixed bag of rivalries. Among their favorites to tackle are luukkeeee (whom they have faced over 28 times and defeated every single encounter!) and schach2011schweizer, who has suffered 20 hearty defeats against our chess enthusiast. Always one to fight hard, they tend to clinch victory in dramatic fashion, whether by checkmate or resignation.

Off the board? They might be the kind of player who breaths in the "dark" side of the game, plotting tactical mayhem and sudden strikes, hence the username darkside3704. But don’t worry—no Sith Lords were harmed in their rise to chess glory.
