Player Profile: EQUAS77

Meet EQUAS77, a chess enthusiast who approaches the 64 squares with a delightful mix of strategic intrigue and unexpected bravado. Starting off modestly with a rapid rating in the low thousands in 2017, EQUAS77 has enjoyed a fascinating journey through the ranks, peaking impressively at a rapid rating of 1347 in mid-2023. Quite the rollercoaster, with ebbs and flows reminiscent of a symphony composed by a drunken maestro, but always leaving a distinct mark on the board.

Gaming Style & Tendencies

EQUAS77 is not one to shy away from a fight. With an average of 57 moves per win and 67 moves per loss, games tend to be long battles of wits. Their endgame frequency reaches 60%, showing a stubbornness to push on even when the path to victory isn't straightforward. But beware: this player is no stranger to the occasional tilt—clocking a tilt factor of 11—so those around should tread carefully when things don't go their way.

Known for a 71% comeback rate, EQUAS77 thrives in chaotic positions, capable of turning tides even after losing valuable pieces. However, their win rate after losing a piece is a humble 43%, so don't be fooled—the fight is real, but the odds are tricky.

Battle Arsenal: Favourite Openings

  • Italian Game: EQUAS77's bread and butter with nearly 2,100 games and a respectable 49% win rate – a classic starter's arena.
  • Philidor Defense: Close to a 50% win rate, showing a fondness for solid, slightly less traveled paths.
  • King’s Pawn Opening - King’s Knight Variation: A sharp choice with a striking close-to-57% win rate, proving they like to mix a bit of fire with finesse.
  • Italian Game Knight Attack - Normal Variation: Their peekaboo weapon boasting a solid 65.5% win rate, hinting at deep personal study and comfort.
  • Scandinavian Defense: Underrated and often underestimated, EQUAS77 wields it with a near 51% success rate.

Blitz Battles

Blitz format hasn’t been their kingdom of glory, though. Past sparks included a peak blitz rating of 1409 in November 2017, but recent blitz stats show some room for improvement. EQUAS77’s blast-from-the-pawn openings like the Queen’s Gambit Accepted - Central Variation Greco and the Van t Kruijs Opening have been favored short bursts but with mixed results.

Record & Rivalries

EQUAS77 has a closely matched record in rapid games, with nearly 7,900 wins and a similar number of losses, showing their battle readiness but also a hint of the challenger’s journey. Fascinatingly, their best win streak reached an impressive 12 consecutive victories, whereas the longest losing streak was a tough 11 games. Like any true competitor, the highs and lows are part of the game.

Their most recent victory was a dazzling checkmate against juniorales in a strategic Caro-Kann Defense, proving their endgame prowess and persistence. Losses, such as one by checkmate to aliovska, remind us that every player, even EQUAS77, sometimes faces the dreaded checkmate scream.

Playing Times and Quirks

A curious fact: EQUAS77's best time to play is apparently at 2 AM, when sleep-deprived brilliance strikes! Their highest win rate hours are surprisingly fluid, with an enchanting 66.7% win rate at 2 AM and holding steady above 48% for most other daytime hours. Mondays seem lucky too, boasting a perfect 50% win rate.

Tactical and Psychological Notes

Early resignations are rare (only about 1.17%), suggesting an indomitable fighting spirit. Their White pieces bring slightly more luck, holding a win rate of just over 50%, indicating a proactive approach when first to move. Black, though trickier, still holds a solid near 47% win rate.

EQUAS77 tends to suffer more when matched against higher-rated opponents but shines bright against lower-rated foes with a dominance winning nearly 66% against those rated below. As for claiming victories, almost 60% of their wins come after opponents resign, an ode to their superior positional pressure.

In Their Own Words (Imagined)

"I play chess like I live life - with calculated risks, occasional chaos, and a stubborn refusal to give up even when the odds say otherwise. Whether it's a slow, grinding endgame or a tactical blaze, I’m here to checkmate boredom and surprise my opponent — sometimes even myself!"
