Player Profile: electro_3

Meet electro_3, a rapid chess enthusiast navigating the thrilling rollercoaster that is the 2025 rapid chess scene. With a peak rating of 628, electro_3 has shown flashes of brilliance, especially in the varied and unpredictable world of Rapid chess—though not without some humbling lessons along the way.

Playing Style & Performance

This player is no stranger to early resignations, bowing out gracefully about a third of the time, proving that sometimes it’s better to save the brainpower for the next battle than to stubbornly push a lost cause. Interestingly, electro_3 tends to wrap up their wins a little quicker (averaging 29 moves) compared to the longer, more agonizing losses averaging about 45 moves.

As White, victories are rare (about 16.7%), but as Black, electro_3 finesses a slightly better win rate of 25%—a subtle master of defenses playing with the shadows rather than the spotlight. Tactical comebacks happen in one out of three losing games, which means never count this player down till the last pawn falls.

Favorite Openings

• Queens Pawn Opening: The bread-and-butter opening, played twice with a perfectly balanced 50% win rate — classic and reliable.
• Alekhine’s Defense Maroczy Variation: Played once and won! A promising attempt to shake things up.
• Clemenz Opening: Another one-game wonder that ended in a win, showing off willingness to experiment and succeed unexpectedly.
• Other attempts include the Trompowsky Attack, Polish Opening, and Scandinavian Defense, where the brave adventurer often met with mixed fortunes.

Challenges & Opponents
