Chess Player Profile: ESP-918

ESP-918 is a relentless chess gladiator who has battled on the virtual battlefield since at least 2016, steadily climbing the ranks and slipping elegantly into 2025 with a blitz peak rating of an impressive 2453. Not just a one-trick pony, ESP-918 holds notable peak ratings across all time controls—blitz, bullet, and rapid—with a bullet max over 2486 and a rapid crown at 2289.

Known for embracing the Polish Opening with a flair for the aggressive (and perhaps slightly rebellious) Kucharkowski Meybohm Gambit, ESP-918 has ventured through thousands of games, boasting a near 47% win rate in blitz and bullet variations of this opening. They dance through the Scandinavian Defense too, although with a bit less luck—because where would the fun be without a little challenge?

With an astonishing comeback rate of over 88%, ESP-918 refuses to give in even when the odds look grim (or the queen is missing). It's like they avoided the 'early surrender' club, with less than 1% of their games ending in a one-sided loss. And while their longest losing streak reached a dreaded 31 games—yikes!—their spirit to bounce back is stronger than ever, currently enjoying a small 2-game winning streak. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, but with chess pieces.

Playing Style & Habits

  • Psychological Trends: May tilt after a tough game (at about 31% tilt factor), but rarely lets it break the flow for too long.
  • Best Time To Play: Early birds catch the bishops—optimal play time is around 8 AM.
  • Game Length: ESP-918’s wins average roughly 84 moves, showing a penchant for deep, strategic battles rather than quick, flashy checkmates.
  • Time Usage: A master of endurance, they've won an impressive number of games by time, showing that sometimes, patience (and a ticking clock!) wins the war.

Notable Achievements & Fun Stats

  • Over 24,000 blitz wins across nearly 60,000 games — you could say they’ve got experience stamped all over the chessboard.
  • Plays favorites like the Polish Opening like a bartender cracking jokes while flipping chess pieces.
  • Known opponents either love or fear playing against ESP-918, with win rates ranging from 0% (ouch) to a perfect 100% (Wow!) — proving either they’re a blissful spirit… or a merciless foe.

Latest Masterpiece

So, whether you seek a fierce competitor or a maestro willing to entertain with tactical flair and unexpected gambits, ESP-918 is your chess companion—rocking the board one puzzle at a time.

Play smart, play fast, or be ready to have your rook eaten.
