Profile Summary: fisch19

Meet fisch19, a rapid aficionado with a flair for comebacks and checkmate theatrics. With a peak rapid rating soaring to 1063 back in September 2023, this player has proven he’s no stranger to the chess battlefield, constantly climbing and occasionally taking a tumble—because hey, even grandmasters have off days!

Starting out with a rather modest rating around 395 in late 2021, fisch19's journey has been nothing short of a rollercoaster, hitting highs near 1063 and showcasing relentless determination. His rapid games boast a healthy mix of wins and losses, with a total of 557 wins and a not-so-shabby 519 losses, and a sprinkle of draws to keep things interesting.

When it comes to openings, fisch19 doesn't shy away from classics. He's tangled with the King’s Pawn Opening Wayward Queen Attack over 46 times, though it’s been a bit of a love-hate relationship with a 43% win rate. But don’t underestimate the player who boasts a 62.5% win rate in both the Scotch Game and the Queen’s Pawn Opening — these are his comfort zones where tactical fireworks often erupt.

In blitz, fisch19 channels lightning speed, with a peak rating of 741 and an impressive 100% win record against the ruthless King’s Pawn Opening Wayward Queen Attack in six matches (take that, opening!). Yet bullet chess is more of a one-hit wonder for him, having played very few games there—a clear sign that slow and steady (or moderately quick) wins the race.

His style? A tactician who enjoys the endgame with a hefty frequency (around 43% of his games), taking on an average of 47 moves per win and a few more in losses—evidence that he’s in it for the long haul. There's a notable 72.6% comeback rate after facing adversity, underscoring the resilience and grit hidden behind the username fisch19.

A fan of white pieces? Slightly: he wins 53.5% of the time when playing white, though black fights back fiercely too with nearly 47% wins. His favorite time to dazzle the opponent is at the unorthodox hour of 1 AM — a prime time for plotting checkmates and possibly snacking.
