Player Profile: EliotDufour2009

Meet EliotDufour2009, a chess enthusiast blazing trails in the virtual arena with a style that’s as unpredictable as their rating swings. Dipping toes in Blitz, Daily, and Rapid games alike, Eliot’s chess journey is a rollercoaster filled with heroic victories, tough losses, and a generous sprinkle of resilience.

Rating Rollercoaster

In the year 2025, Eliot hit a personal peak with a Blitz rating soaring up to 1210 and a Daily rating cresting at 1217. Not bad for someone who knows what it's like to be on a 10-game losing streak — the longest in Eliot’s tale — proving that every grandmaster was once a blunderer. But when the stars align, this player can snap off a comeback with a win streak peak of 2 games, showing flashes of chess prowess.

Playing Style & Quirks

Eliot has an interesting approach: a White win rate of 55.56%, but curiously zero wins when playing Black. Maybe a secret grudge against the darker pieces? They tend to declare early resignations only about 7.7% of the time, so the games usually go the distance – averaging 47 moves in wins and a patient 59.5 moves in losses.

Endgames aren’t shy moments for Eliot, appearing in almost half the battles fought (44.44% of games), which means they’re no stranger to the grind. With a comeback rate of 40%, thwarting defeat is definitely a thing – however, the win rate after losing a piece hovers at a modest 13.33%, suggesting keep-your-pieces-in-play might be good advice.

Battle Record & Signature Moves

Across Blitz, Daily, and Rapid, Eliot’s combined record leans toward the challenging side with 5 wins and 13 losses in rated play. But don’t count out the true grit hunter – when facing opponents rated higher, Eliot nets an impressive 0% wins (some battles just don't go their way yet), but crushes it against lower-rated players with over 83% victory rate.

Their most frequent opening is a well-guarded secret (aptly named "Top Secret"), played in 14 Blitz games and yielding hard-fought battles with a ~21% win rate. A recent shining moment featured a swift victory against DerfieseSchnabl where Eliot sacrificed caution for glory in a Sicilian Defense, wrapping up the game in under 5 minutes!

Psychological Warfare

Chess is not just strategy but mood swings too. With a tilt factor of 10, Eliot is no stranger to mental battles, yet they manage to play their best games in the oddest times — particularly at 4 AM, a magical hour when kings may fall and pawns rise.

If you see them online at dawn, beware: that’s when Eliot’s tactical motors really start humming.

Fun Fact

Despite a rocky journey, Eliot can claim 100% win rates against some oddly specific players like bigtone12345 and thegeniusneuron – proving it’s never just luck when you’ve got "2009" in your username mixed with a pinch of mystery and grit.
