Player Biography: ethannsd

Meet ethannsd, a spirited chess adventurer navigating the 64 squares with a uniquely colorful track record. While the numbers tell a tale of ups and downs, the heart of their game beats with passion and a touch of unpredictability.

Rising and Falling Ratings

Ethannsd’s blitz rating peaked at a respectable 775 back in May 2020—a score that many club players would envy. Since then, their journey has seen ratings glide like a rollercoaster, dipping down to the low hundreds before finding stable ground near the mid-200s in 2023. Rapid play shows a similar pattern, with a high-water mark of 495 in early 2023, while bullet peaked at 417 the same month. Daily chess? Oh yes, they hit a perfect 400 rating once—proof that even in slower games, things can get delightfully dramatic.

Style & Stats: Strategy Meets Surprise

With an early resignation rate of just over 12%, ethannsd knows when to throw in the towel—like a detective realizing the culprit is right before their eyes. Their average winning games last about 42 moves, but losses drag on to around 50 moves, so they don’t quit without a fight.

There’s tactical grit, too: a comeback rate near 70% reveals a phoenix spirit rising from the ashes of lost pieces, though winning immediately after losing a piece remains a challenging 39%. And the tilt factor sits nicely at 11%, so while not immune to frustration, ethannsd generally keeps their cool.

Opening Repertoire: Variety is the Spice of Chess

Ethannsd’s preferred openings are a fascinating buffet:

• Blitz favorites: King’s Pawn Opening with a 40% win rate, the surprisingly effective Bishop's Opening (72% win rate!), and the Scandinavian Defense with a confident 53% win rate.
• Rapid essentials: They bring reliable strategies with the Nimzowitsch Defense yielding over 71% wins, and the Van ’t Kruijs Opening shining at 62.5%.
• Bullet battlegrounds: The King’s Pawn Opening leads the charge with 55% success, backed by respectable scores in the Scandinavian and Alekhine’s Defense.

Clearly, ethannsd likes mixing classic openings with some rarer lines, keeping opponents guessing—and sometimes bewildered.

War Stories: Recent Battles

The latest victories are a testament to both endurance and ingenuity: One recent blitz triumph featured a sharp Caro-Kann Defense, showcasing ethannsd’s skill in sidestepping danger and seizing the initiative. Another win involved a well-executed Alekhine’s Defense, capitalizing on tactical opportunities and wearing down the opponent’s defenses.

Yet, every hero faces setbacks. Ethannsd’s recent losses often came by checkmate in tense, tactical melees—reminding us that even the best players must respect the crafty surprises of the chessboard.
