Player Profile: EthanS1218

Username: EthanS1218

In the vast universe of chess, where knights gallop and queens reign, EthanS1218 maneuvers the board with the enthusiasm of a caffeinated bishop. Rated modestly with a peak rapid rating of 568 and a blitz top score of 312 (because it’s not about being a grandmaster, it’s about the grand adventure), Ethan has fought 77 rapid games and 32 blitz battles documented as of mid-2025.

Playing Style & Personality

Whether it’s a lightning blitz or a slow, thoughtful rapid game, Ethan plays with persistence – boasting a comeback rate of 54.55%, proving that even when they lose a piece, they’re never quite out of the fight (though wins after losing a piece are a humble 28.92%). Average moves per win hover around 39, while losses tussle on a longer road of about 51 moves, showing Ethan’s determination to drag opponents into extra hours on the clock.

Early resignations occur in about 8.2% of games — so not quite the quitter, but don’t expect him to burn hours on a hopeless position either. Notorious for a tilt factor of 7 (a light sprinkle of frustration), Ethan’s best hour to strike on the board is at 18:00, when the stars and chess gods align for his plays. If chess were a sitcom, Ethan’s episodes would feature a quirky mix of clever traps, desperate comebacks, and the occasional facepalm blunder.

Openings Repertoire

Ethan loves a good mix, but a few openings stand out from the pack:

• Rapid: Dominates the Queen's Pawn Opening Horwitz Defense with an impressive 83% win rate, and holds solid results in the Vienna Game Max Lange Defense where he's undefeated.
• Blitz: Finds decent success with the Queen’s Pawn Opening Chigorin Variation and Petrov's Defense, each boasting about a two-thirds win rate.

On the flip side, Ethan’s Queen’s Pawn Opening in rapid sees zero wins, proving even the best players have their “Why did I try this?” moments.
