Rating Rollercoaster
In the whirlwind year of 2025, DrS_28 scaled the rapid rating ladder to an impressive peak of 806 in March, a testament to some fiercely strategic battles. However, like any great drama, there have been ups and downs, with ratings dipping into the 500s before rallying back.

With an average of around 48 moves per win, DrS_28 clearly enjoys the rich complexities of the mid-to-late game rather than rushing for quick hacks. Their strength is balanced almost evenly whether playing White or Black, hovering near a 49% win rate on both sides.
