.From Improbable Roots to Blitz Heights
The early rating history is a roller coaster. There were months with more losses than wins, a 16 game losing streak, and a rating that dipped below 900 in 2013. But the defining feature of epicness77 is persistence. The longest winning streak reached 27 games, and the account has won 12,687 games on time while losing only 6,704 on time. In other words, the clock is often a weapon.
epicness77 also wins at an 86.12% comeback rate, meaning that a lost position is rarely a surrender. The early resignation rate is only 18%, and the one sided loss rate is 0.45, so most defeats are battles, not blowouts.
Signature Repertoire
Openings are a serious business. The most common opening in the epicness77 library is the Caro-Kann Defense, played thousands of times in Blitz. The Sicilian Defense also appears heavily, especially the Najdorf Variation, while the Ruy Lopez Berlin Wall is a recurring defensive setup. And for the occasions when the position deserves more chaos, the Blackburne Shilling Gambit is never far away.
The opening win rates tell a clear story:

No biography is complete without rivals. The most encountered opponent is germanmc, with 1,786 games and a record of 715 wins, 906 losses, and 165 draws. That is a full chess marriage.

Facing german_magnuscarlsen has been tougher, with 525 losses, but even the toughest rival has helped sharpen the blade.
