Chess Player Profile: elcatalana

Meet elcatalana, a relentless chess warrior with a flair for fast-paced thrillers and the occasional slow-burn daily game. With a journey spanning numerous years and an impressive saber-rattle in Bullet, Blitz, and Rapid chess formats, elcatalana has fought countless battles on the 64 squares that most pawns only dream of.

Rating Highlights & Playing Style

  • Current Bullet rating hovers around the 800s to 1000s, with a max peak close to 1250. A true speedster, not afraid to dance on the edge of time!
  • Blitz rating shines near 1200, with a healthy balance of wins and losses showcasing the grit and grind of middle-of-the-pack competition.
  • Rapid games are fewer but steady, flirting comfortably above 1200.
  • Daily games? Let’s just say elcatalana prefers the rush over the slow simmer, but those few daily escapades average around 700.

elcatalana's style is smart and patient. With an average of over 60 moves to win games, this player clearly enjoys the lengthy duels and battles deep into the endgame—which they reach 70% of the time. Not one to throw in the towel lightly, but if forced, an early resignation occurs less than 1% of the time—this is a contender who knows when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em.

Tactical Awareness & Psychology

This player has an impressive 77.78% comeback rate, proving they don't go down without a fight. Losing a piece? No worries—elcatalana's win rate after such setbacks is a perfect 100%, like a phoenix rising from the ashes of a sacrificed knight. Tilt factor is kept reasonably low at 13, showing emotional resilience even when the chess gods are unkind.

Notable Records & Fun Facts

  • Longest winning streak: 12 games—a clear period of domination or perhaps just a lucky streak fueled by caffeine.
  • Win rates are slightly better with White at 51.2%, but elcatalana holds their own even when drawing Black.
  • Among opponents, elcatalana seems to have a love-hate relationship, with 100% victories against some and zero against others—a rollercoaster ride of chess emotions.
  • Best day to play? Early morning (6 AM boasts a 58.54% win rate) and startlingly, their 'midnight oil' hours from 0:00 show an outstanding 56.67% success, confirming night owl tendencies.

Summary

Whether blitzing through boards or wrestling in bullet rounds, elcatalana embodies a player who dives headfirst into complexity, refuses to give up easily, and sometimes even checks mates the clock itself. Chess enthusiasts can learn from their persistence, cheeky psychology-defying comebacks, and willingness to play long, strategic endgames. One might say, if chess were a Catalan song, elcatalana would be the catchy chorus that you can't get out of your head.
