darktblack: The Enigmatic Rapid Warrior

Meet darktblack, a rapid chess player whose rating might modestly sit at 577 in 2025, but whose tenacity and flair on the board speak louder than numbers. With nearly 440 games under the belt, this player has proven to be a tough opponent, winning 215 matches and drawing 50. Not to mention, darktblack is currently riding a streak of 6 consecutive wins – a hot streak that could make grandmasters turn their heads.

What sets darktblack apart is an unwavering Top Secret opening strategy that apparently baffles adversaries (or maybe it’s just the mystery that throws them off). With a win rate hovering just under 49%, it’s clear this is someone who doesn’t back down easily.

Darktblack doesn’t just play; they endure. Their 65.6% frequency of endgame appearances shows a love for the long fight, and with an average 57 moves per win, you can be sure there's a lot of strategic depth beneath the surface. Losses tend to stretch even longer, averaging 73 moves — because who likes losing quickly, right?

Chances are good that if you beat darktblack, they’re probably plotting a comeback – with an astonishing 63.72% comeback rate and a perfect record of winning after losing a piece. So don’t celebrate too early!

Interestingly, darktblack chooses their battles wisely in time and vibe. Play on a Wednesday or Saturday, and you might face a sharpened mind, with winning chances above 50%. But watch out if your match hits the late evening hours around 20:00 to 23:00 — that's when the win percentage skyrockets up to 81%. Also, the early morning hours? Not so much... zero wins at 6am and 7am suggests darktblack’s chess soul prefers the night owl lifestyle.

Psychologically, darktblack sports a low tilt factor of 6, almost Zen-like for such a competitive game. Plus, they have an interesting quirk: a 49% difference in winning when switching from rated to casual games — a player who doesn’t always take it seriously but gets serious when it counts.

Finally, their performance with the white pieces edges just past 50% win rate, while black pieces hold steady at 47%. A slight but telling edge for starting first... or maybe darktblack just likes to take that initial charge with a glint of mystery.

In short, darktblack is a serious contender wrapped in enigmas and sprinkled with a dash of unpredictability. Beware the secret openings, the night-time thunder, and a comeback artist who refuses to give up. Chess is not just a game for darktblack; it’s a saga of suspense, strategy, and occasional flair.
