Profile: Deadshot X Gaming
Meet Deadshot X Gaming, a fierce competitor in the chess world known for battling fiercely in Blitz, Rapid, and Bullet time controls – often with more resilience than a cockroach at a power outage. While their Blitz peak rating proudly stands at 618 achieved on a brisk February day in 2025, and a Rapid peak soaring to 1414 in the summer of 2023, the journey has been anything but smooth.
When it comes to openings, Deadshot X Gaming favors quirky but effective options. The Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack (Modern and Classical variations) seem to be a playground for their creative playstyle, boasting win rates around 42-62% in Blitz and Rapid formats. Conversely, Four Knights Game? Let’s just say it’s their "opponent's favorite," as Deadshot hasn’t scored a single win there in Blitz.
This player doesn’t shy away from early resignations (a modest 3% rate) but makes up for it with an impressive 86.5% comeback rate – proving they can claw back even after losing a piece. Their longest winning streak is a respectable 6 games, though the dark side looms with a longest losing streak of 12, showing even Deadshot has his “off” days.
Playing style is a curious blend of endurance and tactical cunning; games won on average after about 44 moves, and losses drag on roughly to 52 moves, suggesting a gritty fight to the end each time. The win rates are nearly equal on both white and black pieces, hovering just above 40%, signaling versatility rather than favoritism.
Time preferences are idiosyncratic as the player performs best around 11 AM and bursts of glory come often at 23:00 with a staggering near 58% win rate. Saturdays are apparently Deadshot’s lucky day, claiming over 55% win rate, so if you plan to face them, avoid weekend showdowns!
Recent Highlights
One of Deadshot X Gaming's freshest victories involved a crafty use of the Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack Classical Variation, ending in a swift resignation by the opponent after 19 intense moves:
Overall Outlook
Deadshot X Gaming is a testament to perseverance in chess: from nail-biting close losses to triumphant victories, often involving unpredictable openings and a dogged will to turn games around. They might tilt (a Tilt Factor of 12) but bounce back with tactical awareness you wouldn't expect from their peak Elo. Whether you want to test your mettle against their quirky opening choices or witness an epic comeback in the endgame, Deadshot is a username worth remembering.
Hi Deadshot X Gaming! 👋
1. What you’re already doing well
- Variety of openings. 1.b3 and the Modern with …g6 show you’re not afraid to leave the beaten path and take opponents out of book early.
- Tactical alertness when you’re attacking. In several wins you exploited loose pieces (e.g. …Nxe5 ↠ …Nxd4, or Bxf8 followed by c5) and recognized when the opponent’s king was stuck in the centre.
- Playing regularly. Consistent game volume is the fastest way to gather experience. Keep that habit!
2. Repeating trouble-spots
- Early piece hunting. Grabbing the f8/h6 rook or poisoned pawns (e.g. 7…Qxa1, 4…Bh6) often costs you time and leaves your king in the centre. In the loss to iramgh your queen chase led to …Qxh2#.
- King safety. Several defeats arrived before move 15 because you delayed castling or opened dark-squared diagonals near your king. Basic rule: if you’ve moved your f-, g-, or h-pawn, castle kingside quickly or consider castling long.
- Tactical blunders under 5 minutes. Mate patterns like Scholar’s Mate (Qxf7#, Qxh7#) appeared against you. This suggests quick board scans are missing simple threats.
- Premature resignations/abandonments. At least two recent losses were “game abandoned”. Even in bad positions, fighting on teaches end-game defence and clock management.
3. Focus areas for the next two weeks
- Opening discipline challenge.
- As White: play 1.b3 but follow classical development: Bb2, e3, d4, Nf3, Be2, O-O. Skip the early Bxf8 grab until your pieces are out.
- As Black vs 1.e4: keep the Modern structure (…g6 …Bg7 …d6 …Nf6 …O-O) and postpone …Bh6 until your king is safe.
- Tactics sprint. 30 daily puzzles focusing on mate-in-2 and “find the hanging piece”. Track streaks; you’ll notice blunder rate drop in blitz games.
- Two-move blunder check. Before every move, ask: “What are the opponent’s checks, captures, and threats?” It costs three seconds and prevents most early knock-outs.
- Post-game habit. Win or lose, replay the critical moment with the analysis board and guess the engine’s top move before revealing it. One minute of reflection > one extra blitz game.
4. Example: improve this typical position
From your last win you reached the diagram below after 10…Ra5. Many players would keep attacking on the queenside, but you found the stronger central break 13.c4! opening lines for your pieces.
5. Motivation corner
Your current personal best is 618 (2025-02-18). Aim to beat it by the end of the month. Stick to the plan above, and celebrate each small improvement—fewer blunders, quicker castles, safer kings.
Good luck, and enjoy the grind! 🏆
