EricTheChester: The Relentless Chess Contender

Once upon a chessboard, there was EricTheChester – a player who’s seen the battlefield of pawns and knights since at least 2022, proving that consistency and persistence usually beat sheer luck (mostly).

  • Blitz: A nimble 1311 max rating, with an end-year ranking of 1253.
  • Rapid: Steadied at a respectable 1173 max, finishing 1166 last recorded.
  • Daily: A casual arena, peaking just shy of 1000 at 957.

Battle Record

With over 2700 bullet games played, EricTheChester has a nearly balanced win/loss ratio: 1389 wins, 1242 losses, and 107 draws. Blitz and rapid formats are no strangers either, with winning ways in most encounters. Daily games? Well, maybe fewer, but hey, who's counting—sometimes life calls for slower ponders or just forgetting where the queen was.

Opening Gambits & Favorites

EricTheChester shows a passionate yet pragmatic love for the Scandinavian Defense, with sub-variations like the Mieses Kotrc Variation yielding a win rate just above 53% in bullet – enough to make opponents reconsider their lunch plans. Other trusty companions include the Van t Kruijs Opening and the Sicilian Defense Smith Morra Gambit, both flirting with over 50% win rates. Flashy gambits like the Englund make occasional appearances—because who doesn’t like a little spice?

Playing Style & Quirks

  • Patient Endgame Prodigy: EricTheChester loves a good endgame, with nearly 75% frequency – proving they’re not just in it for the quick wins.
  • Moves That Tell Stories: Winning games average about 67 moves long, cat-and-mousing opponents like a sly Cheshire cat. Losses tend to drag just a bit longer, possibly due to stubborn hope or intricate traps gone wrong.
  • Tactical Comebacks: With an amazing 82.8% comeback rate, this player refuses to be counted out, turning near-defeats into sweet victories more often than not.
  • Psychological Battle: A tilt factor of 10 suggests EricTheChester has a bit of emotional fire—but who doesn’t? Luckily, the winning difference between rated and casual games shows some cool-headed resilience.

When To Catch EricTheChester At Their Best

Tuesdays and Saturdays are their lucky days, sporting win rates above 53%. And if you’re hoping to catch them in prime form by the clock, look around 7 AM with a striking 58.72% winning percentage, or during the evening’s exciting window around 17:00 where 60.87% of battles tilt in their favor. Early morning warriors or twilight tacticians? You decide.

Fun Facts

  • EricTheChester’s win rate when down a piece is a mind-boggling 99.08%! Houdini would be jealous.
  • Known for rarely giving up early, with a mere 2.69% early resignation rate – this player fights until the very last tick of the clock.
  • Has a curious pattern of wins often extending beyond 60 moves, hinting at epic battles rather than quick skirmishes.
  • Dominates favorite opponents like "clownplayersweden" with a decent 63.64% success but shows some humor-worthy struggles against "itsjustsparks" with only 36.36% wins. Rivalries, anyone?

In summary, EricTheChester is less of a grandmaster-in-waiting and more of a gritty warrior with an eye for the long game, a heart for clever strategy, and a sense of humor to weather the wild ride of chess battles. If you see them online, brace yourself – this contender just might turn your bold opening into a bewildering endgame saga.
